Powers
Short Sword +2
Esterel is an intelligent short sword created from a summoned greagzim. Graegzim are gaseous beings of swirling sparkling energy of raw life force native to the ethereal plane. Graegzim are chaotic neutral, with evil tenancies. Their native form on the material plane is a 6’ diameter glowing grey cloud. When summoned by powerful wizards, graegzim are typically bound into one or two predefined forms; one inanimate form equal to a +1 magic item, and an animate form in the shape of a small faerie creature like a sprite or pixie. They can reason, but only in a simple fashion. They have poor memories and tend to whine and complain a lot.
Esterel is slightly more powerful than a typical graegzim and serves as a +2 item. He is chaotic neutral. His bound inanimate form is a dull silver short sword. His animate form has the appearance of a fremlin, a small slate colored goblinoid with wings. Esterel only ever remembers his sword form, but he can be commanded to assume his gaseous, inanimate and animate forms at will.
Simple alteration magic can be used to reshape Esterel to any simple single-piece inanimate form or any small faerie type creature, but if commanded to transform, he can only become a short sword or fremlin. Due to his chaotic nature such changes improve his disposition considerably.
