Weapon (Dart), Very Rare (Requires Attunement)
A striped dart decorated with wings that seem to twitch with a mind of their own. This weapon gains a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls and deals an additional 2d4 piercing damage on a hit, and does not have disadvantage on attacks made at long range.
Aerial Menace. While holding this weapon, you gain a fly speed of 60 feet.
Stinging Raid. You can use a bonus action to speak this weapon’s command word and cause it to animate for 1 minute. When you do so, the dart begins to hover and makes one ranged attack against a creature within 60 feet of you, ending its movement in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target.
While this weapon is animated, you can use a bonus action to cause it to fly up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Additionally, you can replace your attacks with a telepathic command to cause this weapon to make a ranged attack against a creature within 60 feet of it that you can see, ending its movement in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target.
You must maintain concentration on this property as though concentrating on a spell. If your concentration breaks, the dart flies up to 60 feet and tries to return to your hand. If you have no hand free, it falls to the ground at your feet. If the dart has no unobstructed path to you, it moves as close to you as it can and then falls to the ground.
Once you use this property, it can’t be used again until you finish a short or long rest.
Anger the swarm at your own peril, for its assault is quick and vicious.
