Curses/Hexes: The axe craves blood of anyone who it kills, drawing their blood from the enemies of the wielder and providing the strength granted through the blessing, the more blood lost the more powerful the wielder becomes. When someone holds the axe with intention to kill or use it or have knowledge of it's true use the texture of the handle turns from velvety soft to a sharp thorn like sensation that constantly presses into the palms and fingers of the user, making it difficult to wield and defend with, if not in use it remains dormant but can siphon off the wielders energy in non fatal levels but will drain the blood of the one who holds it through the handle until death if used and not supplied with the blood of an enemy, this can be reversed for five hours(As the human body holds five liters of blood) The rate it drains the wielders blood is two quarters or a liter every four minutes. If a sufficient(Two hundred) people are killed the axe will bestow the vision of beauty they see in the axes reflection at the cost they will look like a hideous figure(Or lich in some cases)as there natural beauty is slowly diminished until they have killed the people it desires.

History/Legend/Fairy tale: This axe was crafted as a gift for the red queen of Valesa, crafted by the Duke of snow, king of Scerous. It was meant to be a gift for the queen on her birthday as a token of good will. However the queen and king of both nations were secretly in love and wished to have the weapon as a ceremonial item should either pass away to allow them to be together. Word slowly spread across to both as the queen and king of the nations heard wind of this with a malicious plot fueled by spite and hatred for their own. On the day of their kingdoms peace treaty ceremony both the red queen and white king ordered their guards to capture the others ruler, the red king and white queen. The axe was delivered and used by the red queen to decapitate the white queen and the white king used the weapon to split the red king in half down the middle. This sparked outrage of the citizens of both kingdoms which led to the eventual execution of the other parties, trading hands with guards, maidens, princes, princesses and common folk as it soaked in the blood of those killed in the traitorous skirmish which only left one survivor who soon died days later the from weapons curse. There it has rested in the now abandoned home of the survivor for a decade before being found by looters who have sold the artifact countless times to various hands along with it's crimson trail of killing of beauty for the sake of a love that was severed before it could begin.
