Midnight Needle

Very Rare, Requires Attunement

Description

Granted for services to Vanalir and her Mistress, this rapier enhances its wielder's speed to near-impossible levels. It provides a +2 bonus to both weapon attack rolls and spell attack rolls, while also boosting spell DCs by the same. It provides its wielder the ability to cast Steel Wind Strike without expending a spell slot once per long rest, but its power rests in a unique ability encoding on it.

          As an action, you flourish the Midnight Needle and strike forth, vanishing
          in a crack of thunder as you become like lightning. Choose up to 5
          creatures within range.  Your speed leaves behind afterimages that
          confuse your target.  Any target that can see you through any other
          mans except Truesight and Blindsight must make an Intelligence saving
          throw vs your spell DC.  On a failure, all attack rolls against it are
          at advantage until the beginning of your next turn.


          After each target makes their saving throw, roll an attack roll against each of them.  If they failed their saving throw, this attack is also made at advantage.  On a hit, the target takes 6d10 force damage.
