Faith Killer is an enchanted battle axe with anti-magic abilities and a +2 enchantment.

Additionally, it grants the wielder +5% to their magic resistance, and a 5% chance to cast Dispel Magic on a successful hit.

Acquisition[]

Can be bought from Conlan at Conlan's Smithy in Kuldahar.

Description[]

This deceptively mundane-looking battle axe has a short but strange history. According to philosophers of magic, Faith Killer was enchanted by the non-belief of its owner, the warrior Erion the Skeptic. A rarity in Faerûn, Erion was a man who denied the existence of holy magic and the gods themselves. He was known for his attempts to prove that priests were charlatans and holy magic was, in actuality, a different form of standard magic. Sages believe that Erion's intense opposition to holy men and women actually generated sympathetic magical powers in his weapon. Priests of Selûne in Westgate confiscated the axe when they killed Erion in self-defense. It is currently believed that Erion is one of the unbelievers used as a building block in Myrkul's Bone Castle.
