Overview: Crimson Mischief stands as a legendary Shortsword of exceptional might. Its effects vary depending on which hand it is wielded in. When used in the main hand, it inflicts extra damage against weakened foes and those under the effects of Advantage. Wielded in the off-hand, it enables the addition of the wielder’s Ability Modifier to their damage output.

What began as youthful mischief evolved into something far more sinister, resulting in a weapon that reflects her malevolent desires.
