Blade of Four Energies
A gem-set shortsword draws on one of four elemental cores each round, letting its wielder call up acid, cold, fire, or lightning at will.
This +2 greater striking shifting shortsword is formed of rapidly vibrating air and magical energy, though it uses the same statistics as iron. The wooden hilt is adorned with four gems, representing the energies of acid, cold, fire, and electricity, that sparkle in sequence at random intervals.
