by Camruth:

A fairly early draft to try and create Elric's sword Stormbringer as a magic card.

by M_Houlding:

I don't know anything about the flavor that you're referencing, but it seems like there should be some initial bonus, as it's kinda sad that this equipment has no immediate impact until the equipped creature has tangled with some other goon. I'd almost suggest just entirely removing the tension between the P/T bonus and the Regeneration effect, just have it give a static bonus of like +3/+1 (to mirror Dark Favor).

Cool concept and solid design so far.

by Camruth:

In the books, the sword drinks the souls of its victims and can impart the power of those stolen souls to it's user (usually Elric who is an albino). the more souls it has stolen, the more powerful it can make its wielder.
