Kasadya

Kasadya is the battlehammer of Jormund the Hammer, created by Valandra of the pale tower by binding the ancestral hmmer of his clan to the soul of the Demon Lord Kasadya. Channeling the demon's power, it gives the user enhanced physical abilities by consuming their magical power.

History
Kasadya began life nearly two millenia ago as the ancestral battlehammer of the Eldström clan, a family of giants living in the lands north of what would become Herenno.

The weapon was maintained and passed down over the centuries, until it was granted to Jormund Eldström, chief of the clan. He would use it often over the course of the Drowning war, as one of Vallen Farnoth's closest mortal companions.

In 11 BD, while fighting alongside his wife Valandra, the two were attacked by a Great Demon Lord named Kasadya, come to kill the two in her Soul form. Valandra, however, was understimated in her magical prowess, and in a manner of minutes had bound the very essence of the demon to her husband's hammer.

Appearance
Kasadya is a large war hammer with a shaft that is six feet long and a large head. The head is made of solid steel, with a spike on the back. The front of the hammerhead isn’t flat, however; rather it shapes itself into nine pyramidal points that focus the force of a blow. There are faint engravings on it, and the steel seems to grow brighter or darker at random, supposedly as the soul of the demon held within changes mood.

Powers
The weapon has one particular power; it syphons off the magical power of its user and turns it into physical power. The more magic fed to the hammer, the greater the boost in physical ability; strength can be increased eight times over, as can speed, reaction times. While using the hammer, one can physically overpower almost all foes. This is directly proportional to the mage’s ability, however; a mage that is very efficient in their use of magic will get more use out of it than a mage who is not.

One does have to be careful to reinforce the body with magic so as to withstand the strength boost, or wear Runic armor with the ability to do the same.
