Backbiting
A catastrophic miss doesn't just fail; the weapon whips back on its wielder for a devastating blow.
Rare Cursed Evocation Magical
Usage curses a weapon
A weapon with the backbiting curse warps space in response to catastrophic mishaps. Whenever you critically fail at a Strike with this weapon, the weapon curls around (or its projectile swerves through the air) to strike you in the back as though you hit yourself, automatically dealing maximum damage to you.
