Spellbreaker is an ancient bronze short sword, forged for use by Magekillers during the Mage Wars. Its crafters did their job too well, however, as once attuned to Spellbreaker, its wielder is immune to ALL spells that target them - for good or ill. Attuning requires a permanent loss of 1 point of Charisma and lasts until someone else attunes to the blade.
Potions still work, but spells cast from beings, scrolls, wands, and some spell traps do not. Area effect spells fail if wielder is the targeted point, but splash damage from such spells works normally, requiring saves as per the spell. For example, a Fireball thrown at Spellbreaker's wielder fails to go off, but a Fireball targeting the ground next to the wielder goes off as normal.
Spellbreaker is a +2 short sword that can Dispel Magic on the target on a successful strike (useful for piercing magical defenses). 1/day (or 1/long rest), the wielder can create an Anti-Magic Field, centered on themself. If the wielder holds their action, they can attempt to use Spell Cleaving - effectively cutting a spell off in midair; spells have an effective AC of 10+their level. On a critical hit, the Spell Cleaving instead sends the spell back at its caster.
