Boneskewer

Weapon (spear), uncommon (requires attunement)

Upon attunement to this sleek, ivory spear, it is cleansed from any other influences and it loses all runes on the shaft. Whenever you kill an undead creature of CR 2 or higher, a radiant rune appears on the shaft of the spear - each rune translates to the true name of the fallen undead. When attuned, the spear reveals its true potential to you, when reaching certain numbers of runes.

Rune of Whispers (5 runes). You can cast speak with dead at will, without expending spell slots or material components. After using this feature, you need to wait until dawn before you can do so again. Rune of Combat (15 runes). Attacks made with this weapon gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. Rune of Unlife (25 runes). If you use your action to attack with this spear, you can use your bonus action to regain 1d4 hit points.

Lore

The tomb raider known as Milazar Tice expected the Ar’k-Liran crypt to be filled with riches, but instead they found an ominous spear… Fighting their way out of these accursed halls of the dead, the weapon they once thought was worthless, suddenly started glowing.
