Just Fantisizing,
Feel free to add your own:

------------

Giant Dervish Tuning Fork
Uses 2H Blunt Skill
13 31
Wt: 10.0
Tuning Fork
Race: Human, Woods Elf, Half Elf
Class: Bard
Magic: Can occasionally cast Chords of Dissonance in combat at the range of
a: RND DMG / L 13-31 CHR:100 bard equivelent
Gotten off a Hill or Sand Giant, Dervish Type. The Giant Dervish's
instrument's are of such huge size they are of little use, and abandoned
with the bodies usually. However some smiths of the gigantic races have
fashioned Tuning Forks, far too unwieldy as a weapon by anyone but bards,
whom by some divine ability can swing the things with the skill only a
musician can wield. Foreign by the way it is weighted so heavily in the
bottom area, near the fist, ordinary practioner's of bashing skill find it
crude and ackward. However, in the hands of a bard, innate musical
abilities give these individuals the power to swing it as a weapon, each
strike an ominously deadly chrous of a truly deafening melody.
(:::The item has a high damage value, for the weapon is only valuable
as a "last ditch" weapon, the inherent spell effect of the weapon a
detriment in everyday hunting, most bards still relying on dual wield or
instruments:::)

Unicorn Horn Scimitar
Uses 1H Slash (using resource Glowing Unicorn Horn, only gives L Lightstone
light)
6 27
WT: 1.4
Unicorn Horn
Race: Any
Class: Brd, Pal, Ran, War
Magic: Casts a Greater Lightstone glow, combat Hymn of Restoration

Only made from a smith with the average ability to create banded, using the
"Glowing Unicorn Horn" and sufficient ore to fashion a handle. This Horn
can only be found on the corpse of a Unicorn's natural enemy, the Trickster.
Slaughtering (and not through predation) a unicorn for it's horn is an evil
act, and such evil goes into her horn itself, making that resource (Dark
Unicorn Horn) capable of making up an entirely different weapon. The soul
of the unicorn itself can come from glowing yet still living horn, the
weapon virtually weightless (but for the smith's handle) and depending on
the wielder's Charisma, there is a random chance for Hymn of Restoration at
the level 14 Bard equivelent upon each swing of the weapon.

Dark Horn
Piercing (Using resource Dark Unicorn Horn, 15 Wt)
7 29
WT: 8
Unicorn Horn
Race: Any
Class: Brd, Thv, Shd, War
Magic: +60 Hide, +40 Sneak
Unusually heavy in one's hand, with straps of thick, polished leather to
give it grip, the thing actually makes a sphere of darkness around itself.
Created weapon by a tailor of the reinforced ability, along with sufficient
hides and a Dark Unicorn Horn. Chopped from a freshly slain unicorn,
slughtered--harvested only for her horn itself: No matter who holds it, the
weight of the act follows the item like a consuming cloud, regardless any
virtue of the new owner. The item itself is white, but heavy, and eerily
always in shadow. So much so, an individual can hold out the horn and step
behind it, becoming virtually hidden from view.
(::: The skill bonuses will not have any effect unless one has
actually learned the basics of either Hiding or Sneak:::)


Just hoping for bard weapons, sorry they're only made-up
