[Arcane] Timestream Strike
Weapon (any sword), Very Rare (requires attunement)
Component: Aberration chitin
“Dabbling in alternate timelines can be hazardous, true, but a few seconds here and there never hurt anyone, right? At least, it never hurt anyone I wasn’t already intending to hit over the head with this thing.”
-Reid Rider, Time Surfer
This weapon has 4 charges and regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn.
Parallel Divergence. As a Bonus Action while holding this weapon, you can expend 1 charge to create an afterimage of yourself from an alternate timeline, which appears in your space and lasts until the start of your next turn. The afterimage is identical to you and can move up to half your Speed when you create it. The afterimage is incorporeal, but shares your AC. A creature that hits your afterimage with an attack or makes a successful DC 16 Intelligence (Investigation) check as an action discerns that it’s an afterimage. Attacks against you have Disadvantage while you are within 5 feet of your afterimage.
Chronoslash. While you have an afterimage within 120 feet of you, you can take a Reaction at the end of any creature’s turn to unite the two timelines. You can choose to rush in a straight line to your afterimage or have your afterimage rush to you, as long as the path isn’t blocked by an object. Whichever version of you moves, it can pass through the spaces of creatures and uses the blade to cut through them. Each creature through which you or your afterimage pass must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 2d8 Force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
---------------------------------------
Uncommon variant: Reduce the DCs to 13. The afterimage can’t move, and the Chronoslash property deals no damage.
Rare variant: Reduce the DCs to 15 and the damage of the Chronoslash property to 2d4. The afterimage can’t move.
