Grave Digger is a formidable magical weapon forged from dark, enchanted metal and inscribed with necrotic runes that lit up when used. In its unactivated state, it appears as a heavy, grim shovel—a tool once used for digging graves. With a command, the shovel’s edges magically extend and reshape into a fearsome greataxe, channeling the corrupt energies of death.
