The Baneful is a rare +1 shortsword that only functions if bound to an Eldritch Knight or is a Warlock's Pact weapon. It applies the Bane condition on hit.

The wizard Otiluke wrote about bound weapons and their propensity to coalesce with their wielder as the pair come together. He also wrote about their dangers, which are manifold, and their benefits, which make the danger worth it.

Bugs
- If this weapon is bound by an Eldritch Knight or Pact of the Blade Warlock, the weapon will retain its Favoured Weapon passive until the next long rest even if the character binds another weapon. The weapon will even retain this passive if the weapon is used by another character, different from the one who bound it.
