Hornette

In its natural form, this item has a black horn looking like it came from a goat, or perhaps a gazelle. The horn is about 6 inches long, slightly curved with a slight curl and numerous ridges from base to tip. The tip of the horn is very sharp and suitable for use as an awl or perhaps a tool for planting seeds. The horn is mounted to a handle of rich cream brown ivory. The ivory has 5 scrimshaw carvings of hornets with cabochon cut emeralds set for their abdomens. A larger emerald is set in the end of the handle as a pommel.

Powers

When this weapon is drawn by a Gnome or Halfling, the horn lengthens and flattens to form a long thin dagger of black horn. The edges are serrated making for a very nasty wound.

The dagger remains extremely lightweight and provides a +2 bonus in combat. It easily penetrates wood or stone, doing maximum damage against those materials.

When the handle is held, the owner can cast a phantasmal force that can be maintained as long as the user concentrates. No other strenuous action, such as combat, can be taken while maintaining the illusion.
