⚔️ Dawnsinger

Weapon (shortsword), Legendary (requires attunement by a Bard or an Elf)

You gain advantage on attacks made with the sword whenever you inspire someone.
You can use a bonus action to toss this sword into the air and speak the command word. The sword begins to hover, flies up to 30 feet, and attacks one creature of your choice within 5 feet of it using your attack roll and ability score modifier.
While the sword hovers, you can use a bonus action to cause it to fly up to 30 feet and attack. After the fourth attack, it returns to your hand.

The sword never gets dirty.
