The Point of Regret

Weapon (longsword), legendary (requires attunement by an evil creature)

A warped and twisted longsword with grim tendrils and a shadowy aura, that deals 2d6 or 2d8 damage depending on whether the weapon is held in one or both hands. The damage dealt by this weapon is necrotic.

Dread. As a bonus action, the weapon helps you reach deeply into a living creature's soul. The creature must succeed on a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. On a fail, you learn the creature's deepest fears and your attacks with this weapon deal 1d6 extra necrotic damage against the target for 10 minutes.

Shadow Parry. As a reaction, upon getting hit by an attack you can see, you gain a +3 bonus to your AC if that causes the attack to miss.

Unholy Bargain. Upon dropping to 0 hit points, you can choose to immediately restore a number of hit points equal to twice your character level. When doing so, you receive a random type of permanent madness. You can only use this feature twice before needing to wait a hundred years.

Curse. Once attuned, you are unable to part ways with the weapon. Upon receiving three - instead of six - points of exhaustion, you die a horrible death, forsaking your soul to Limbo. Only a wish spell can undo attunement to the weapon. The weapon's alignment is chaotic evil and it will attempt to corrupt you through its psychological manifestation.

Lore

Lezaza the warlock wanted power, but when his patron granted him this boon, the young Owlin started having second thoughts. “Power comes at a cost”, said the voice in the darkness. “That is okay,” replied Lezaza. “I have enough gold on me!” His patron only smiled at that remark.
