<p>
This short sword is engraved with runes disguised as natural cracks and creases in the metal and leather components.
</p>

<p>
When a successful attack is made with this sword, the player takes 1d4 of the damage that would have otherwise been dealt to their opponent.
</p>

<p>
Detecting the runes for what they are requires a relevant skill check.
Removing the runes requires a <em>dispel magic</em> (Dnd, PF) or an <em>erase</em> (PF) spell.
Failed removal attempts trigger the runes, and the caster takes 1d4 damage.
