Description
A creature in possession of both the Lunar Weapon and the Solar Amulet can perform a 1-hour ritual (as if attuning to a magic item) to combine those items, forming the Weapon of the Sun and Moon. In addition to having the properties of both the Lunar Weapon and the Solar Amulet, this weapon is considered a +1 Weapon and gains two Eclipse Powers. During the day, the Weapon of the Sun and Moon can use its Eclipse Power to cast the Darkness spell; this version of the spell creates a 60-foot-radius sphere of darkness, instead of its normal size. During the night, it can use its Eclipse Power to cast the Daylight spell. Once the daytime Eclipse Power is used, it can't be used again until the next dawn; once the nighttime Eclipse Power is used, it can't be used again until the next dusk.
The double scimitar is the signature weapon of Valenar elves. A haft of fine wood supports a long blade on either end. Forged with techniques honed over tens of thousands of years, these blades are strong, sharp, and remarkably light. Each scimitar is a masterpiece, and as a result the double scimitar is an expensive weapon, but few people ever have an opportunity to purchase one. If you're an elf, your blade could have a long and storied history. If you're not an elf, you might have stolen the weapon from a fallen foe or received it from a dying Valenar ally. If you work with your DM to create the story behind your double scimitar, you can start with the weapon at 1st level in place of a martial weapon normally granted by your class. However, it can be dangerous for a non-elf to carry a double scimitar. Valenar may demand its return or challenge you to prove that you're worthy to wield it.
Special: If you attack with a double-bladed scimitar as part of the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action immediately after to make a melee attack with it. This attack deals 1d4 slashing damage on a hit, instead of 2d4.
Two-Handed: This weapon requires two hands when you attack with it.
