This jalzab appears to have a mind of its own; it jitters and shakes even when you aren't swinging it.
Psuedopod appears at first glance to be a +1 corrosive[1] orgacraft jalzab. However, it is in fact the legacy weapon of the Organic Repast discipline. A practitioner of the Organic Repast discipline who seeks out the weapon's history can draw forth its true power. As various rituals are made and power is gained, the weapon starts taking on stronger powers. There are five rituals that are performed when unlocking this weapon's power. They must be performed in order (the 2nd ritual must be completed before you start the 3rd, even if you achieve the 3rd level prerequisites). Rituals cost gold (in the form of feeding the weapon raw materials) and xp, with an additional prerequisite. Once the 1st level ritual is unlocked, the sword displays its omen effect. You can take time out and spend 8 hours bringing the weapon to the next level once you have the prerequisites.
Psuedopod is a unique magic item, on its way to becoming an artifact. While it has a price, it cannot be completely destroyed. If reduced to 0 hp, it retracts and coils around itself in pain and refuses to be used until it has been repaired, but is not destroyed as items usually are. It retains its ability to repair itself over time, even at 0 hp. It is treated as an artifact against the effects of mage's disjunction.
Omen: Psuedopod appears to move by itself to compensate for its wielder's mistakes in combat; for instance, if the wielder's swing is a bit off, Psuedopod redirects some of its tendrils to strike the opponent anyways. This effect is extremely minor and ineffectual, and does not actually grant any additional bonus to attack rolls made with Psuedopod.
Ritual #1 (Gestation & Birth)
Acidic Blast: Psuedopod gains the acidic blast[1] property.
Course Correction: Psuedopod's ability to work in tandem with its owner improves to the point where it actually has a noticeable effect. Psuedopod has a +2 bonus on attack rolls (in addition to its own enhancement bonus).
Prerequisites: You must somehow bring a lifeform into the world. A conjuration (summoning) effect does not count, but a conjuration (calling) or conjuration (creation) effect does, as does any effect that enables you to grant sentience to a creature or object that does not otherwise possess it.
Cost: 2,000 gp, 80 xp.
Ritual #2 (Growing Up)
Variable Bonus: The enhancement bonus on the weapon is improved to +2. By spending 1 hour in meditation, you can switch out the enhancement bonus on the weapon for any weapon special abilities on a 1 for 1 basis (except for its corrosive and acidic blast properties). The jalzab must always have a minimum +1 enhancement bonus.
Cost: 8,000 gp, 320 xp.
Ritual #3 (Life)
Variable Bonus: As previous, but the enhancement bonus on the weapon is improved to +3.
Cost: 18,000 gp, 720 xp.
Ritual #4 (Continuing the Species)
Variable Bonus: As previous, but the enhancement bonus on the weapon is improved to +4.
Prerequisites: Must have successfully procreated.
Cost: 32,000 gp, 1,280 xp.
Ritual #5 (Death & Decomposition)
Variable Bonus: As previous, but the enhancement bonus on the weapon is improved to +5.
Prerequisites: Must have been subjected to an instant-death effect. Actually surviving said effect is not necessary.
Cost: 50,000 gp, 2,000 xp.
Prerequisites: N/A.
Cost to Create: Unique item, cannot be created.
