Damage 1d8 slashing

versatile (1d10)

Charges: 7 (regains at dawn)

A gleaming +2 longsword with a blade of tempered steel. Its fuller is etched with interlocking manacles breaking apart, and a small sapphire sits in the pommel. The crossguard is shaped like two broken rings. The blade hums with a pale blue light when near magic that binds or restrains, and the runes along the length glow faintly when used to sever a bond.

Bondpierce The Bondbreaker is a +2 longsword. As an action, you may expend 3 charges to cast Dispel Magic (3rd level) targeting a creature or object within 60 feet. If this ends a binding spell or effect that binds the target (for example charm, hold person, geas, imprisonment, or a curse), one magical bond afflicting the target is severed. The blade regains all expended charges at dawn.

Unbinding Aura While you hold Bondbreaker, you have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.

Bond's Resilience When you hit a creature that is under a magical binding, you may expend 1 charge to grant yourself temporary hit points equal to 1d6 + 2 for 1 minute.

Lore

Forged by a reclusive order known as the Liberators, Bondbreaker was created to answer a paradox: to free those unjustly bound by spells, yet never interfere with rightful oaths and fate. Its maker carved sigils of release into the blade's spine and bound a fragment of anti-magic into its essence. The weapon seeks worthy targets—those who would bind others through magic, and those who themselves are bound unjustly by enchantment.

History

First wielded by a paladin-archmage who led a rebellion against a tyrant who chained minds with a geas. The blade has changed hands through wars and revolutions, appearing wherever oaths were twisted into chains. Its current owner is a spellcaster of good alignment who uses it to free captives and nullify corrupt enchantments.
