Spell Sheet; Monster List; Magic Items; Encounter Size Calculator; Initiative Tracker; Random Generator; Random Dungeon Generator. Well it seems to me the player is asking to buy a specific magic item. As the DM, you decide if you want them to have it; now, maybe later, maybe never. You also get to decide if you would like to give them something 'like' the thing they want and is better balanced for the situation. One thing I liked about 3E magic items is their piecemeal approach. I could design whatever I could think of. I could take spells and make them permanent and BAM, new magic item. The book gave me a value for this item and made me feel like they were fair against others of similar cost. 5E items feel infrequent.

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, while you are attuned to this weapon, your hit point maximum increases by 1 for each level you have attained.

While the sword hovers, you can use a bonus action to cause it to fly up to 30 feet to another spot within 30 feet of you. As part of the same bonus action, you can cause the sword to attack one creature within 5 feet of it.
After the hovering sword attacks for the fourth time, it flies up to 30 feet and tries to return to your hand. If you have no hand free, it falls to the ground at your feet.

At the start of each of the wounded creature’s turns, it takes 1d4 necrotic damage for each time you’ve wounded it, and it can then make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, ending the effect of all such wounds on itself on a success.

The creature dies if it can’t survive without the lost head. A creature is immune to this effect if it is immune to slashing damage, doesn’t have or need a head, has legendary actions, or the GM decides that the creature is too big for its head to be cut off with this weapon. Such a creature instead takes an extra 6d8 slashing damage from the hit.
