Brain Eaters are illithid weapons with the capacity to devour the brain of those struck. The victim's brain can then be transformed into an intellect devourer that grudgingly serves its creator. The weapon's enchantment range is contingent on the level of the consumed brain, where every three hit dice/levels equate to a +1 enchantment, up to a maximum of +5 for the brain of a 15th level adversary.
The haft of the weapon is crafted from deep crystal attached to a glassteel sphere. When lacking a power source, this sphere is partially filled with a briny ichor; following the consumption of a brain, it presents a macabre spectacle of pulsating brain matter and bubbling ichor.
