Once a year, the crystal encasing the base of the Sword of Galas'nor produces a single crystal that can be plucked from the base. Each crystal contains the magical properties of the sword itself, though, to a lesser degree and not as potent as compared to the original artifact's abilities. However, the shards still are powerful. The Guild of Galas'nor currently keeps charge of distributing these crystals to its member, as they stand vigilant with protecting the sword locked away deep in their vaults.

The crystals themselves shine with a strong glow, and a powerful aura can be felt from each of the shard pieces.

Shard of Illusory Movement
Cost/Classification TBD

If you were to take damage from an attack, you may instead shift 5 feet out of the way as an immediate action, leaving behind a seemingly perfect after-image of yourself to take the blow instead. This effect can be used 3 times per day, and will not work with area of effect spells unless you leave the area of effect with your shift.

Spells involved: Major Image (Wizard 3), a lesser version of Walk Through Space (Wizard 7)

I'll take a closer look in a bit, but I'm gonna write down my idea for an additional one while I remember.
