Okay, so if a nature cleric goes adventuring and is always using the same stick for applying beat downs using shillelagh, would you eventually have this hunk of wood become something a little more?
Example: cleric has been given a holy task of defeating the vile fiends that oppose his might god, deciding his usual walking stick isn't exactly up to the task of imposing fear, he concludes he needs a proper weapon, but not having access to a holy avenger he says "screw it, I'll make my own!" (With blackjack and hookers optional, your god's will may very) and carves himself a wooden axe with runes and images representing his god, possibly from a holy tree that was felled by some fiend that needs a righteous reckoning, and after using it for however such time, it becomes a magic weapon!
Something like having a permanent shillelagh effect (no need to use a bonus action to cast the cantrip) and maybe a +1 to hit and damage.
It would be after a few levels of using the same wooden weapon and/or the slaying of a sworn enemy.
Just trying my hand at coming up with something unique to a character, something my dm has done for players before (which includes having a player roll a d20 on every attack with a sun sword with two hands, till he got a nat 20 to will the sword to become a greatsword from a long sword) and I'm trying to come up with flavor stuff for my players should an opportunity to do so arises, Opinions?
