And Stormbringer has an awful lot of associated bad stuff - Elric makes several attempts to ditch it, but in the end it kills him.

Any of my players who found themselves anywhere near someone carrying Stormbringer would immediately do all they could to make sure they couldn't be described as a friend of the wielder.

If Stormbringer somehow turned up in my game and someone was fool enough to want to cement it I'd be entirely happy for him to do so for 1 HP.
