Typically though, they involve massive treks to distant uber-volcanoes to throw them in, or epic quests to rid the world of the evil whatever. In other words, ask your DM, because without any actual rules to cover this sort of thing, he's the one that will set how you could do it, not us.

If you can't, ask him why not, and why you can't get rid of it (if you can't). Or, maybe you could just drop it on the side of the road and walk away. Someone else's problem now. :P http://img30.photobucket.com/albums/v91/yawgmoth/kittyjig.gif

Drop it in the ocean. Drop it in a volcano. Feed it to the Tarrasque. Let a gold/red dragon breathe its breath weapon on it. Take it to the Abyss. You don't necessarily need to destroy it... just get rid of it as best you can. However, if a Fiendish Dire Orca Whale ever comes back with the sword.. then you're in mucho trouble! ;)

Dominate? Why not become Friends? Psionic Weapons/Items have personalities and attitude and you have to communicate with them often to establish a relationship. In the case of an artifact it may have a "Mission" you can talk to it about and even maybe agree to help with the "mission" in exchange for the thing being a little more friendly and cooperative.

It is an extremely powerful soul-stealing sword and at the very least its a +12 along with vorpal, keen, and many other nasty things, and it has a resevoir of magical power that could fuel a 20th level spellcaster's spells for a year, if I get rid of it, and someone else takes it, essentially I've doomed the world.

Mordekaine's disjunction which requires a 17th level wizard who is willing to take a 1/20 chance of forever losing all of his spellcaster capacities and a 95% chance of attracting the attention of a power planar entity. If both happen odds are that wizard will die. 2. Destroy it in the specific way which that major artifact can be destroyed.
L33T 1 08-12-04, 09:14 AM	Is there a magical item that mimics the disjunction spell?
