Daggers Of Self Destruction

Full Item Description
Long, thin and deadly, these blades have been forged of silver steel which has now been tarnished quite a bit, and set into handles of ebony inlaid with a thin silver wire which curls around the handle.

History
Van Torxes was the most accomplished mage that lived in the city known to the high elves as karonie karile, the shining city.
One day he was summoned to the chamber of the high mage in the late afternoon, where he was confronted by a congregation of people who then falsely accused him of murder and plotting against the king so that they could get a step closer to grasping the throne for themselves, by removing all people who they knew posed a potential threat to them. Torxes was utterly shocked by what had happened and denied all accusations laid against him.
When the king heard of what had happened he was shocked and because he placed such trust in the high mage he agreed with
him that he should be exiled from the city of his birth.
his heart and mind consumed with fury, he turned to darkness.
In his anger and frustration Van Torxes forged twelve daggers; one for each of the people who had a hand in displacing him. He then ensocelled each of the daggers so that they ensured that they disposed of those who had gotten rid of him.
He then swapped the daggers using his powers to persuade a friend of his who by day was a merchant and by night a deadly killer and almost untraceable, with those that his enemies had. A few days later they all wound up dead each with a dagger stuck through his heart.
Since then the daggers have disappeared and have not been found since, all apart from three, two of which have been destroyed and the other which resides with the new high mage who is trying to break the spell on them and trace their creator.The blades of the daggers dissovle into the unfortunate victims bloodstream a few hours after they have killed themselves with the dagger, unless somebody pulls them out before then, in which case the dissolvement spell ceases to take effect. After that the handles of the daggers also dissovle into a fine silvery vapour that sinls through the floor and keeps on going until it lies several feet under the earth where it then goes on to manifest into a small, smooth shard of blue crystal in which resides a death wraith that will gathjer strengh over time until it is summoned.(i am currently working on a sub for death-wraiths.)
Magic/Cursed Properties
Each of these daggers is cursed and drains their bearers of will and eventually drives them insane, depending on how strong of mind they are, and forces them to kill themselves with the dagger.
