He picked it up and observed the soft glow of the metal. Mithril, this was a weapon like no other- but it was going to need a modification. Namely some black leather wrapping and some attention to the head to remove the shine. There was a note of disappointment to his voice when he spoke- he appreciated the weapon a lot in its current form. Practicality demanded modification, however. "Sorry, Rafe...."
