Archdemon's Ember[edit]
A once nameless bastard sword made of Holy Platinum used to slay a a Prideful Archdemon. The act of slaying the beast crippled it wielder and permanently melted her weapon into a rod of blackened metal. The demon's fierce spirit forever transformed the blade, melding with the weapon's own magic to form a powerful but dangerous artifact. The Archdemon's Ember is a priceless artifact but has an estimated worth of 139,000 gp, It can be destroyed by thrusting fully in the ices on top of Mount Celestia and being left to cool down for an entire decade, after which it will crumbled in chunk of blackened metal.

Once ignited the Archdemon's Ember is shrouded in flame, increasing the fire damage dealt by the sword from +5 to +10 and granting the Archedmon's Ember Reach. Unlike most weapons with reach it can still be used to strike adjacent targets.
