Saintly Rapier

A Saintly Rapier is the only weapon magically incapable of killing, though it can cut and hack inanimate matter as well as any of the other weapons. Instead, when living flesh is pierced with the blade, it has a powerful healing effect. The knife can knit broken bones, heal disease, and regenerate lost limbs. Properly employed, it can enable its user to sustain extensive damage without dying, ironically making it a particularly cruel torture device in spite of it's name.

Its healing effect can prevent amputation of entire limbs if the Saintly Rapier is in active use; the blade heals the wound before the attack can complete it's path across the limb, and before the wound can start to bleed. The blade must come into contact and break the skin of the person being healed.

The Saintly Rapier works on any living thing, human or animal. It is not known to restore the dead to life, though it could arguably revive a recently, or clinically dead person.
