Morningstar of the Many [Relic]

This austere morningstar glows with an eerie blue light at all times, and its form feels unstable.

It is said that these morningstars have been dipped in the blood of creatures from every known plane on the Great Wheel. When you wield it, a morningstar of the many functions as a +1 morningstar if you are chaotic evil, neutral evil, or chaotic neutral. Furthermore, the weapon overcomes damage reduction as if it has all four of the alignment descriptors (chaotic, evil, good, and lawful).

Relic Power: If you have established the proper divine connection, you can command a morningstar of the many to mutate for 6 rounds, taking on a different form and weapon property each round, as given on the following table. The weapon retains its normal enhancement bonus regardless of its form.

After the 6th round, a morningstar of the many again becomes a +1 morningstar until you speak the command word again. This ability functions five times per day.

To use the relic power, you must worship Erythnul and either sacrifice a 5th-level divine spell slot or have the True Believer feat and at least 9 HD.

Lore: The six original morningstars of the many were taken from defeated champions from the Upper Planes. The god Erythnul dipped them in the blood of their fallen owners and granted them a bit of his chaotic essence before distributing them to his own champions (Knowledge [religion] DC 20).

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Sanctify Relic, circle of death.
