A creature can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a success. ***Sentience.*** The Wyrmhammer is a sentient weapon, with mental statistics determined by your dungeon master when the weapon is generated. It can communicate telepathically in Draconic to any creature who touches the weapon. ***Curse.*** The Wyrmhammer is actually a prison for an ancient chromatic dragon, whose type is determined by the weapon's elemental damage type. If at any time a creature ends their attunement to this item, the dragon is released from its confinement and appears in an empty space within 5 feet of the weapon. The dragon is hostile to the creature who was attuned to this item, and they and their allies have disadvantage on Charisma checks made to dissuade it from violence.
