Jax was a caravan guard who died defending her charges from a pack of Lamashtan cultists in the Spellscar Desert. Her spirit of fury and hopelessness infused her weapon upon her death, imbuing the firearm with a fragment of her soul and intelligence. The rifle, upon awakening, remembered just enough of Jax's former life to think of her former wielder's name as her own.
Jax is a +1 striking fearsome piercing wind whose driving purpose is to protect innocent travelers in the Spellscar Desert from raiders, bandits, and cultists. Jax allows any creature to wield her, but she doesn't reveal her intelligence or powers until she detects an innocent in danger or if her wielder has proven themselves a worthy champion of justice. If she deems a wielder to be unworthy, Jax uses her dominate ability to control the wielder until she can find a new one.
If ever used to attack an innocent traveler, or if, in Jax's opinion, the attack could be considered banditry, the weapon automatically misfires. If Jax witnesses an innocent harmed or killed, she empathically urges her wielder to avenge the victim. If the wielder doesn't comply, Jax attempts to cast dominate (below). Even if the dominate spell fails, Jax withholds all magical abilities, including the +1 weapon potency rune and striking rune, until her wielder redeems themself.

Effect Jax deems you an unworthy agent of justice. She casts Dominate on you (DC 24 will). If you're chaotic or a worshipper of Lamashtu, you take a -2 penalty to your Will save, and the result of your save is one degree of success worse than the result you rolled. Jax orders you to fight banditry and protect innocent travelers in the Spellscar Desert, renewing the spell as often as necessary until you cease your lawless ways.
Traits
A rules element with this trait is one-of-a-kind. The DC of Recall Knowledge checks related to creatures with this trait is increased by 10.
CombinationThis is a trait for weapons that combine the functionality of melee weapons and firearms in unique or unusual ways. A combination weapon has both a firearm form or usage and a melee weapon form or usage.
ConcussiveThese weapons smash as much as puncture. When determining a creature's resistance or immunity to damage from this weapon, use the weaker of the target's resistance or immunity to piercing or to bludgeoning. For instance, if the creature were immune to piercing and had no resistance or immunity to bludgeoning damage, it would take full damage from a concussive weapon. Resistance or immunity to all physical damage, or all damage, applies as normal.
CursedAn item with this trait is cursed to cause trouble for its owner. A curse isn't detected when the item is identified, though a critical success reveals both the presence and exact nature of the curse. Cursed items can't be discarded once they've been triggered or invested the first time. The item can be removed only if the curse is removed.
DivineThis magic comes from the divine tradition, drawing power from deities or similar sources. Anything with this trait is magical.
EvocationEffects and magic items with this trait are associated with the evocation school of magic, typically involving energy and elemental forces.
FatalAimIt's possible to hold the stock of this weapon under one arm so you can fire it with a single hand as long as the other hand isn't holding a weapon, shield, or anything else you would need to move and position, to ensure the weapon doesn't slip out from under your arm. However, if you use both hands, the weapon can make fatal attacks. When you wield the weapon in two hands, it gains the fatal trait with the listed damage die. Holding the weapon underarm stably enough to fire is significantly more complicated than just releasing one hand from the weapon, so to switch between the two grips, you must do so with an Interact action rather than Releasing or as part of reloading.
IntelligentAn item with this trait is intelligent and has its own will and personality, as well as several statistics that most items don't have. Intelligent items can't be crafted by normal means, and they are always rare or unique.
