Description.
These finely crafted silver knives resemble swallows in flight—each blade ending in a gleaming wing-shaped flourish. A faint breeze follows them wherever they go.The Swallow Blades
Throwable Only. These knives are not designed for melee use and can only be thrown.Guiding Wind. Each knife is carried by subtle air currents when thrown. Attacks made with the Silver Swallows ignore half and three-quarters cover.
Dancing Birds.
Once per day, as an action, you can activate the knives to hover and circle around you like a murmuration of birds for 1 minute.The knives orbit you in a graceful pattern. Knives rush to you if they are within 1 mile.
As a bonus action on your turn, you can command one of the knives to fly out and strike a target within 40 feet that you can see. This is treated as a ranged weapon attack using your Dexterity modifier, and you do not suffer disadvantage at long range.
Each knife can only be used once this way. After all 5 have been used, they automatically return to your side.
