Tsuba of the Lotus

Tsuba of the Lotus
Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)
-
You can attach this tsuba to a longsword, greatsword, rapier, shortsword, or scimitar by pressing the tsuba against it for at least 1 minute, at which point it replaces the sword’s hand guard. Thereafter, the tsuba can't be removed unless you detach it as an action or the weapon is destroyed. A sword can only have one tsuba attached to it at a time.
-
While this tsuba attached to a sword you are wielding, you gain the following abilities:
-You are immune to disease.
-You can move across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.
-Each time you hit a creature with this sword, you cannot be killed by that creature until the end of your next turn. For the duration, if damage inflicted by that creature reduces you to 0 hit points, you drop to 1 hit point instead.

Ciroji kneeled on a jumble of blankets, sharpening her blade next to the lake. The stars danced below in shallow ripples, shining their light into her sightless eyes.
The journey had been long and hard, and dozens of scars created constellations of endurance across her skin. Still, she waited patiently.
Something moved across the water. When it touched the shore before her, Ciroji reached out and retrieved the small object. Cupped in her palm, a steel lotus blossom unfurled.
Without hesitation, she attached the tsuba to her katana and felt its magic mingle with her spirit. Slowly, with each breath, an ember of light began to grow, expanding ever brighter. A tapestry of color emerged from this light, and took the shape of a moonlit lake surrounded by towering pines.
For the first time since she was a young child, the blinding sickness left her body. Ciroji gazed upon a world that had hidden its beauty from her for too long, and readied her blade for the path she could now see before her.
