Hey guys, I just got a Flame Tongue greatsword in my campaign tonight. This is an awesome weapon but i'm wondering if there is any way I can transfere the magic into my maul? 

 

Just for RP purposes i'd rather wield a maul then a greatsword, but if there is nothing in game to support something like this i'll just bite the bullet and keep the flame tongue greatsword.

Nothing in the rules. You're into "Ask your DM" territory.

Call it a Maul. Refluffing's leniant like that.

Well, is it organized play? Like Adventurer's League? Those guys can be pretty strict on stuff like that.

 

If it's a home campaign? Ask your DM. You're asking to change it from Slashing (Greatsword) to Bludgeoning (Maul), basically. I don't see any sort of issue there.

The DMG says Flame Tounge must be a sword and I have not seen any way of transferring the magic from one item to another. However, nothing should be mechanically broken in dealing bludgeoning instead of slashing as previously stated, so I agree with those saying "ask your DM".
