Base Weapon Spear
Each of these golden spears was forged in the days of old Mzali, when the sun kings ruled the city. The majority of these weapons are lost, most likely buried with warriors in tombs and temples sealed by
Walkena's decrees. Walkena retains a single golden blade, which he grants to his Master of Spears.
This
+2 greater striking returning spear is coated in brilliant gold, and beautiful engravings run along the shaft, depicting the rising and setting of the sun against Mzali's skyline. The spear glows with the effects of 4th-level
light. You can suppress or resume this light by using an action, which has the
concentrate trait. When you hit a creature with the spear, it takes 1d6 additional fire damage. When you critically hit a creature with the spear, the creature takes 1d8
persistent fire damage and 1d8 persistent bleed damage as its blood boils away. Unlike normal when taking two types of persistent damage, a creature needs only a single successful flat check to remove both the fire and bleed damage.
