Chrysamere

"Chrysamere, the Paladin's Blade and Sword of Heroes, is an ancient claymore with offensive capabilities only surpassed by its defenses. It lends the wielder health, protects him or her from fire, and reflects any deletory spells cast against the wielder back to the caster. Seldom has Chrysamere been wielded by any bladesman for any length of time, for it chooses not to favor one champion."
— Codex Scientia

Chrysamere is an adamantium claymore artifact that can be obtained by taking part in its artifact quest.

Chrysamere is unique in that unlike most of the other weapon artifacts in the game, its enchantments are wholly defensive in nature. It is most notable for its incredibly powerful healing enchantment: already at level 1, Chrysamere is capable of instantly healing its wielder for 200 points of health when used, and by level 20 this reaches an impressive 2,100 points. While it doesn't heal for as many health points total as some artifacts with health regeneration enchantments, such as the Staff of Magnus and particularly the Lord's Mail, those enchantments take a significant amount of time to be fully effective, and the scaling amount of healing Chrysamere is capable of means it can instantly heal any player to full health regardless of class or level. Even a very high level Barbarian with the maximum amount of health possible will still not have nearly as many health points as Chrysamere can heal. Combined with its spell reflection and fire resistance enchantments, which while 100% effective even at level 1 are somewhat shorter in duration than other artifacts with similar effects, this makes Chrysamere an ideal artifact for highly dangerous encounters requiring massive immediate healing and magical protection at any stage of the game.

Perhaps because of its potent healing ability, the casting cost of Chrysamere's enchantment is relatively high (though not nearly as high as the Ebony Blade's), about on par with that of Auriel's Bow. As such, its enchantment should ideally be used relatively sparingly and when it is most needed. Keep in mind that physically using it as a claymore will gradually wear out the artifact and slowly contribute to decreasing its condition as well.
