<blockquote>
==== Proficiency ====
=== Combat ===
Regardless of class, the sword owner can wield Teuvel’Khilat ambidextrously with the same capability as a single class fighter with specialization.
The sword veers towards its target, negating concealment penalties from invisibility, darkness, camouflage, hiding and existence on another plane.
* '''Specialization''' (+1 to hit, +2 damage, +1 attack per 2 rounds)
* '''Ambidextrous''' (no penalty using off hand)


If the sword wielder has achieved specialization in any sword of the long blade group, then Teuvel’Khilat is wielded at that same level of mastery.
This power is available during melee and when thrown.


* '''Mastery''' (+3 to hit, +3 damage)
* '''High Mastery''' (+1 weapon speed, critical on natural 16+)
* '''Grand Mastery''' (damage die type increased, +1 attack per 2 rounds)


All benefits of proficiency and specialization are gained, including additional attacks per round, hit and damage bonuses, and special maneuvers associated with the level of mastery or sword form.
=== Backstabbing ===
The sword can seek out vital organs on surprise attacks. This is not limited to humanoid targets, but any creature with a vital organ is subject to potential backstabbing damage multipliers.  


==== Bladesong Proficiency  ====
Wielders with the thief class gain an additional rank and damage multiplier on a successful backstabbing. Top level thieves achieve x6 damage when using the sword.  
If the sword wielder is proficient in bladesong with a sword from the long blade group, then bladesong style can be used with equal skill with Teuvel’Khilat.
* '''Bladesong''' (+1 AC, '''or''' +1 to hit, '''or''' attack and parry)
* '''Bladesong Mastery''' (+2 AC, '''or''' +2 to hit , '''or''' attack and parry)
* '''Bladesinger''' (+1 to hit, +1 damage, cancel maneuver penalties at +1 per 4 levels, defensive AC +1 per 2 levels)

=== Spell Sheath ===
Non-thief wielders can backstab with double (x2) damage equivalent to a 1st level thief. Stealth skills are not granted by this power, so opportunities must be achieved by the wielder’s skill or favorable circumstances.
The wielder can cast spells into the blade, sacrificing their magical power to enhance the sword. The spells can be cast from memory or device. The type of spell determines the magical sheath power as indicated below. The sword can only be enhanced with one sacrificed spell at a time, with a new spell immediately replacing the benefits of the previous.
<blockquote>
==== Energy Sheath ====
If the sacrificed spell dealt damage of a particular energy type, the blade radiates that energy type, including any special properties (moonlight affecting lycanthropes, etc.). If the spell has more than one energy type, the wielder selects which type the sword radiates at the time the spell is cast. Subsequent spells with energy types immediately replace the effects of the previous spell. The energy radiated lasts for as many rounds as the spell level plus an additional round for every 3 class levels of the spellcaster. Every successful melee attack delivers an additional 1d6 of damage of that energy type, while a critical hit will deliver 1d10 instead.


==== Bladethirst ====
=== Warning ===
If the sacrificed spell doesn’t have a particular energy type, the sword’s bonus to hit increases by +1 per spell level of the sacrificed spell. The bonus to hit decreases each round until it reaches +1 which will last an additional round for every 3 levels of the caster.  The wielder also gains an initiative bonus of +1 for as long a the blade retains the bonus to hit.  
The sword will provide warning when invisible or hidden enemies are within 100 yards. It will wake the wielder from sleep when enemies approach.  


Sacrificing a subsequent spell only provides benefits if bonuses exceed the current bonuses (casting a fifth level when when the sword has dropped to +4 will bump the sword back to +5 for a round), otherwise the new spell is wasted.
