Murasame, One Cut Killer
Murasame was a cursed blade that could kill a person with a single cut. Once the sword pierces the skin, a poisonous curse will spread through the victim's body, killing them within seconds by stopping their heart. The curse appeared as black markings that originated from the wound and spread across the victim's skin. However, this ability only worked on living, organic beings that have a heart, rendering it ineffective against Undead, Constructs, heavily armored targets and so on. Because of how dangerous this sword even to it's wielder, it requires special skills and training to hold such a weapon.
This weapon is a +3 katana (longsword) with finesse.
One cut one kill
The curse reaches the heart within seconds. If the victim has less than 100 hp left, make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw (+1 for each subsequent cut with Murasame). If the victim succeeds its saving throw it instead takes 5d10 magical poison damage, negating resistances and immunity, if creature has a heart. On a fail victim becomes Restrained and dies indefinitely on a start of it's next turn. Blade consumes the soul of a victim making it impossible to resurrect them, other than with Wish spell.
Too dangerous
If a wielder does not attuned to this weapon he's risking his life with every swing. After each attack with Murasame make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a fail you cut yourself and become a victim of One cut one kill.
Little War Horn
The only way user can take this action without immediately killing themselves is to kill someone very dear to them with this sword once before.
The user cuts themselves with the blade taking 3d8 slashing, they are Restrained until their next turn, as the curse takes effect. Red words creep from the cut and to the user's heart, remaining as scars once the effect has ended. These scars continuously cause the user to feel pain all over their body, even after Murasame is destroyed. The wielder's iris's turn red, and the Sclera's black. As the full weight of the curse is brought down upon the wielder and they take responsibility for all of the lives Murasame has taken. Heavy rain begins to fall and only lightens up when the wielder ends the effects or is unconscious.

- Dexterity score increases by 5.
- Advantage on attack rolls.
- Gain an extra attack on their turn.
- Can take the dodge action as a bonus action.
