Khilat Moonblade - Timmor

From House of Khilat

Dates: -8,406 to - DR (years)

Powers

Shadow Wolf

The blade can manifest a ghostly image of a large grey wolf that serves as a companion. The wolf is typically only visible to the blade owner, but can become visible to anyone it chooses. The wolf can roam of its own accord anywhere within 5 miles of the blade, but may be sent to destinations of any distance at the request of the sword owner. The wolf leaves no trace of its passing, but can easily track any quarry.

 Natural wolves in the area will automatically treat the wolf spirit as part of their pack and obey basic requests.

Any Lythari will recognize the spirit as one of their own, and will render assistance to the wolf or blade owner as they see fit. If the sword is unattended, they will secure and defend the sword.



Elfshadow

Once per week, the sword wielder may transform the wolf spirit into a semi-corporeal Elfshadow creature under the complete command of the wielder. The Elfshadow can easily shift between wolf and Elven form, appearing as the wielder or any of the past owners of the sword. The Elfshadow operates at the same level, hp, AC, etc. as the wielder, and can fight or take other actions for 2d10 turns, or until slain. The Elfshadow doesn’t have the magic items of its owner, but it can wield the Moonblade on its owner’s behalf. If slain, the wolf spirit returns to the sword, and cannot be summoned again for one week + 2d4 days.



Wolf Form

If the owner is able to shapechange into animal form like a Druid, then one additional transformation per day may be made to assume a wolf form only. During this time the wolf spirit must merge with the owner and may not perform separate actions.



Wild Shape

The sword has a wild shape ability. Whenever its owner changes shape, the magical powers of the sword will become part of the form, typically becoming part of a claw or the mouth, though other body parts typically used to attack are also suitable, including tails, tentacles, etc. Most powers are limited by the transformation, but melee powers such as moonglow, speed, and sharpness, typically remain available. Should the transformed owner be slain, the sword will always revert to its true form; even if the owner does not.
