The Nichttöten Blade

The Nichttöten has a fearsome reputation; forged by an alchemist called Bombastus the Mad, the mighty Broadsword can through anything... except living flesh. Bombastus had been forced by create a blade that could cut through any armor for a warlord who had imprisoned him. Appearing complacent, Bombastus did just as he was told and enchanted it so that it could cut any material, but then out of pure spite also secretly hexed it so that it would always be turned away by flesh. The warlord was killed in a duel shortly after recieving the sword.
