Created by a myopic wizard who found it difficult to see without either full sunlight or a roaring fire and multiple lamps blazing brightly, Whiteblade resembles a simple, elegant dirk, with the exception that the weapon - from tip to the end of the tang - is a milky white color. A rough grip of leather is wrapped around the weapon’s hilt, to help the owner keep hold of it, as well.
Whiteblade is not really a combat-ready weapon; the same enchantments which imbued the metal with the strange color also rendered it brittle, although it will gradually repair itself over time.
Magical Properties:
Whiteblade has two simple magical functions:
It will correct any natural vision problem - near-sightedness, far-sightedness, astigmatism, cataracts, and the like. The result is perfect 20/20 vision.
Second, it confers the ability to see in the dark to the person carrying it, banishing shadows from their sight. The result of the two powers is the ability to see clearly without any bothersome shadows getting in the way.
The weapon’s powers are active as long as it remains in contact with the skin. If used in combat, this can be disconcerting to anyone struck with it, as the blade’s magic is placed upon them as well as the wielder for the length of time that it touches them.

The first ability would be pretty useless to those with already clear vision, though it would help sharpen people eyesight, perhaps. The second ability is perfect for assassinations or thievery. An assassin can douse the light in a large hall, plunging it into pitch-black, then run up to the main table, kill the head figure and leave without tripping on anything or bumping into anyone.
A nice dagger. I would have liked a bit more depth on the background, but its all sound as it is.

Given that I concieved of an wrote this in the 20 minutes right before I left for work, I think I did reasonably well, though...

I can definiatly see this becoming really addictive, especally in the hands of elderly royalty. Another potential drawback would be that illusions would now be seen with perfect clarity, and since nothing has shadows now, would be rather hard to discren.
