Maul of Racism (From the Set of Bual'Atha)
This maul was created by the famous bigot Bylli Bab Bual'Atha. He devoted his life to the creation of powerful magical items that would lay low any race that was not his. Bylli Bab was a giant who was raised in a secluded village far north of most civilization. He wanted for nothing else but to lie on a warm sunny beach. In his mind it was the other race's fault his tribe was in that terrible northern wasteland, so very far away from the beaches. His plan was to make weapons of great racist powers for all the races except Giants and then sell them. Within each of his weapons wasn't a curse per se, but a hint of a suggestion. Anyone wielding one of his weapons would slowly begin to hate the race the weapon was made to fight. Due to his secluded locale, Bylli Bab wasn't able to procure any samples from races other than Giants in order to attune the weapon against them.
So, in order to practice and gain in skill, Bylli Bab created Giant killing weapons with the plan of melting them down and starting over once he got ahold of another race. He actually wasn't sure what all races were out there, but he hated them all so very badly. One late night in his workshop Bylli Bab was working on his racist enchantment when something went wrong. The metal of the weapons, instead of holding the enchantment, instead conducted it in one side and out the other into Bylli Bab's other hand. Try after try the enchantment failed to stick. Unknowingly to Bylli Bab he was infecting himself with the racism against Giants. It was a truly subtle spell. So subtle that he himself didn't notice he was being effected. Layer upon layer slowly Bylli Bab stopped blaming other races for his lack of beautiful beaches and instead blamed his tribe for settling there. Giants where to blame! Full of new ideas Bylli Bab created as many Giant Killing weapons as he could. Hoping his tribe would go to war with another and kill all those to blame for him not being on a beach.

For the magic maul: "When you hit a giant with it, the giant takes an extra 2d6 damage.
For the purpose of this weapon, 'giant' refers to any creature with the giant type, including ettins and trolls."
