Render of Mind and Body is one of the Shortsword Weapons in Baldur's Gate 3. Render of Mind and Body is an enchanted shortsword that deals bonus damage on attacks with advantage.

You can proc an additional Hex damage roll with Psychic Steel Virtuoso, actually pretty strong!
Also procs the 2 damage from Gallous Glow Ring.

Worth keeping in mind that the bonus damage applies to each (base)damage instance of a weapon attack.
This means that sneak attacks or clerics with divine strike will get 2d8 instead of 1d8 with this weapon. Doesn't work with additional damage riders though, only ones that apply to the basic attack. Still, quite the amazing sword for backstabbing with.

While this weapon is "just +1 uncommon weapon", actually its super strong in the hands of a dual wielding dex fighter, or a thief. Pair the Risky Ring with this, and every attack you make with this, will give you that sweet +1-8 conditional damage, making the weapon very lethal.

The psychic damage only applies to attacks with *this* weapon, not all weapon attacks while the weapon is equipped. Also, it is not in Lann Tarv's offerings by default; when talking to Disciple Z'rell about the mission she has for you, you must pass an insight check, and then pass the persuasion check in a dialogue option opened up by passing the insight check. If those are succeeded, she will tell you to tell Tarv to show you the 'secret stash,' which includes this weapon.
It would be even better if while equipped we could proc the psychic damage with other weapons attacks and also spells. It would be a must have to any Eldrich Blast + Risky ring build. And the description didn't even says that it applies only to this weapon.
