Greetings All!
This is the 3rd submitted item this week, and this the second HP regenerating sword that was voted in! Luckily it took another path as a unique take, and I think we nailed it in balancing.
Submitted by a regular on these items Kronos001, the name is unchanged. The Elven Blood Blade, with a regain to HP not limited to Crits or Killing. That was a challenge, and I put it up to the Discord Smiter’s to take a crack at it. What we came up with, is what you see above. Balancing a constant tick HP regain for strikers, with a spell casting option for other classes.
The blade art itself, I wanted a twisted elf - something between a demon, vampire, and aberration, and thusly this came to be. I tend to do Elven art more along the lines of LOTR, or Oblivion with a lot of curves and gold, this I purposefully chose harsher straight lines with a sleek but harsh appearance.
If you have any suggestions or thoughts, or see any language that needs editing let me know! I definitely like group approaches to these, and if you have an idea check out the submittal form!
Updates: Grammar check, and some overlay adjust for the hilt to draw out the shapes.
Truly, as always and ever sincerely, Thank You.

Description:
This strange blade holds a history tied to blood days and corrupted ancestors that is best forgotten. This relic is one of the few that remain as a dark chronicle of that time. Its twisted visage is enough to bring chills to the spine of any breathing creature. Elves particularly feel a hesitance around this blade, as it harkens back to a lost and dark… but familiar power.
