While holding Wave, you gain the following benefits:
- **Combat Ready.** You have [Advantage](advantage-xphb.md) on [Initiative](initiative-xphb.md) rolls.
- **Underwater Adaptation.** A bubble of air forms around your head while you are underwater, allowing you to breathe normally in that environment.
## Aquatic Command
Wave has 3 charges and regains `1d3` expended charges daily at dawn. While you carry it, you can expend 1 charge to cast [Dominate Beast](dominate-beast-xphb.md) (save DC 20) from it on a Beast that has a [Swim Speed](swim-speed-xphb.md).
## Globe of Invulnerability
While holding Wave, you can cast the level 9 version of [Globe of Invulnerability](globe-of-invulnerability-xphb.md) from it. Once used, this property can't be used again until the next dawn.
## Sentience
Wave is a sentient weapon of Neutral alignment, with an Intelligence of 14, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 18. It has hearing and [Darkvision](senses.md#Darkvision) out to 120 feet.
The weapon communicates telepathically with its wielder and speaks Aquan.
## Personality
Wave zealously encourages mortals to worship sea gods and has a habit of humming sea chanteys. Conflict arises if the wielder fails to further the weapon's objectives in the world.
## Destroying Wave
Wave can be destroyed only on the island of Thunderforge, where it was forged. The weapon must be melted down by a [storm giant](storm-giant-xmm.md) or someone imbued with a storm giant's strength. Destroying Wave angers a god of the sea, who sends powerful agents to attack the island and punish the destroyers.
