Property

A root whose thin vines draw metal from the earth until they are sharp and strong as wire. Blades made from it always look a little like vines.

Use: a length of vine works as a non-magical +2 whip – wear gloves or fit a handle, or take 1d4 + 2 slashing damage when you grab it. It can serve as the main metal of a bladed weapon.

Good for: magic bladed weapons (good fit), e.g. a +2 longsword.

Affinity: sharpness, slashing, plants

In this system

A portion of Razor Root is an empty vessel that can hold 10,000 MP (MP). It only becomes magical when a character charges it. Unique parts are what a special slot is for.
