This magic item for Dungeons & Dragons is a sword enchanted with the power of a white dragon. Fangenfrost grows in power with its wielder, eventually unlocking the white Chromatic Armor.
Fangenfrost
Weapon (longsword), rare [Tier 2]
(requires attunement)
Damage: 1d8+1 slashing
Weight: 3 lbs.
Properties: Versatile (1d10+1)
The white chromatic blade is translucent like a shard of ice with a hilt that is cold to the touch. It contains the soul of Kyllisairu, an ancient white dragon.
You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.
Frost Blade. You can use a bonus action to frost the blade with a freezing sheen. The frost remains for 1 minute. Any creature struck by the frosted blade takes an additional 1d6+3 cold damage. That creature must also succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take one level of exhaustion. If the creature takes more damage from the frosted blade and fails its saving throw again, it takes another level of exhaustion. This feature can be used a number of times per day equal to your proficiency bonus.
Cold Resistance. While attuned to Fangenfrost and holding it, you have resistance to cold damage.
Very Rare [Tier 3] upgrade
When you achieve level 10 while attuned to Fangenfrost, you have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.
Fangenfrost has 8 charges and regains 1d4 + 4 expended charges each day at midnight.
Spellcasting. You can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC: fog cloud (1 charge), ice storm (4 charges), or freezing sphere (6 charges).
Cold Gust. When you draw this weapon, you can extinguish all non-magical flames within 30 feet of you. This property can be used no more than once per hour.
When you find the Moonstone Amulet while attuned to Fangenfrost, you can also use the Chromatic Armor.
Chromatic Armor. Once per long rest, you can use a bonus action to activate a matching set of power armor from the Moonstone Amulet. Fangenfrost is temporarily attached to the armor, which remains active for 5 minutes before it deactivates and returns to the amulet.

Fangenfrost has 12 charges and regains 1d6 + 6 expended charges each day at midnight.
Cold Breath. You use an action and expend 3 charges to exhale an icy blast in a 30-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 14 Constitution saving throw, taking 8d6 cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
When you find the Dragon Queen airship while attuned to Fangenfrost and your companions are attuned to the four other Chromatic Blades, together you can form the Chromatic Titan.
Chromatic Titan. Once per day, you can use an action to merge your white chromatic armor with the other four armor and the Dragon Queen airship to form the Chromatic Titan.
The Chromatic Titan’s stats and rules for Mecha vs Kaiju combat will be included in an upcoming project.
Background
The five Chromatic Blades were created by Livi Tombledink after her home was devastated by Tiamat. The gnome artificer forged the powerful weapons with the help of several magic users including drow matron Maricosa Fiett and the ancient gold dragon Augeris the Broken.
Tombledink enlisted a party of adventurers to help her trap five ancient chromatic dragons within the magic swords. Fueled by the captive dragons within, the Chromatic Blades became legendary tools in the fight against the evil forces of Tiamat.
The white Chromatic Blade was wielded by the human warrior Talon Shin who named it “Fangenfrost”. It was stolen from Shin’s tomb by agents of the white dragon Vinciarakin. Instead of freeing her captive mother’s soul, Vinciarakin hid Fangenfrost in her lair beneath the Ruins of Gilandrian.
