Magical sword names have always been a fascinating aspect of fantasy literature and films. These names give the swords a distinct identity and often represent their unique abilities or origins. They add an element of mystique and power to the wielder, showcasing their connection to a greater destiny or magical world. The names of magical swords often reflect their specific properties or the mythical lore surrounding them. Examples include Excalibur, the legendary sword of King Arthur, which is said to be unbreakable and possess incredible power. Another famous sword is Sting, from J.
So I collect my sword and the next morning I set off to Scardale with its mayor to preform at some big city function. In just one days travel we run into 10 goblins (NBD), then an Ettin and then after that not one but two Hill Giant Wereboars (that one was more tough) So first of all the only ones to damage me? Goblins. I took no damage in either fight with the giants, and not because I was standing back letting the fighters/barbarians/clerics do all the fighting. I entangle one of the Wereboar and try to coup de graw it. And I actually can't because I do so little damage (Mofo's have a +20 to their Fort save)
After finding some really awesome treasure and leveling up one of the guys in the party asked me what my sword's name was. (because I explained that it wanted to kill giants, and every one lol'd) And I had to pause and go "Well I hadn't thought of it yet" And really I have no idea, so I was hoping to get an appropriate name for it.

Magical sword names
Okay so I am playing in a campaign as a pixie rogue bard and in game I just got a magical sword made for me. I wanted to do something to increase damage some because well I have a 6 in strength (thats after putting another point in there at level 4) So with my small sized rapier I was doing a whopping 1d4-3 damage. Anyways so I got it like 1 day ago in game and I found out that my pixie's colour splash rapier wants to hunt giants. Seriously when I found that out I almost died laughing.
Here are its stats

INT: 13
WIS: 10

May I ask first why you have it described as "Spell Storing: Color Spray"? Unless it's a custom enchantment, spell storing weapons can store any targeted spell of up to 3rd level.
