# Nine Lives Stealer
*Very rare (requires attunement)*
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.
## Life Stealing
The weapon has `1d8 + 1` charges. When you attack a creature that has fewer than 100 [Hit Points](3-Mechanics/CLI/rules/variant-rules/hit-points-xphb.md) with this weapon and roll a 20 on the `d20` for the attack roll, the creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be slain instantly as the sword tears its life force from its body. Constructs and Undead succeed on the save automatically. The weapon loses 1 charge if the creature is slain. When the weapon has no charges remaining, it loses this property.
