Brunnandu

Description:
This ancient-looking battle axe has a head of bronze, of plain utilitarian construction, though the patina that has formed over time gives the impression of a leering, devilish face. It resists all attempts to polish it. The handle looks newer than the head — a plain shaft of ash with snake skin wrappings on the grip. Three lines of text, in the Jogishk tongue, are faintly etched along the shaft:
Brunnandu hundur.
Prýstungur vundur.
Pramhjá vugg.
The last owner of the axe simply called it Brunnandu, after the first of the six words inscribed on it.
Bio:
The bronze battle axe detects as magical. In combat it functions as a +2 magical battle axe. In addition, anyone reading the words inscribed on the haft out loud can trigger one of three spell effects: Burning Hands, Gust of Wind, or Passwall. Each spell takes effect as if cast by a 9th-level wizard, and each may be used up to three times per day. A spell effect may not be activated in the same round that the axe is used to attack.
