Item: Blade of the Black Sovereign
This +2 greater striking Shock greatsword is forged from standard-grade adamantine, with inlays of broken circuitry and a robot's ocular lens on the cross guard. A soft thrum comes from the blade, which you feel as a subtle pulse through the grip when wielding it. It sparks when unsheathed, emitting dim light within 5 feet.
On a hit against a foe made of metal, wearing metal armor, or using a metal shield, if the foe takes electricity damage from the blade, the makes the foe Off Guard for 1 round; if the Strike was a critical hit, it also makes them Clumsy 1 for 1 round.

The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Sword: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming off-guard until the start of your next turn.
