Teuvel'Khilat / Mageblade

From House of Khilat


Powers

Mageblade

In addition to its base powers, 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 sword can only be enhanced with one sacrificed spell at a time, with a new spell immediately replacing the benefits of the previous.

Weapon Skill

Proficiency

Wielders without a fighter class, wield Teuvel’Khilat with proficiency as a fighter using a weapon of choice.

  • Weapon of Choice (+1 to hit)

Wielders with a fighter class can wield Teuvel’Khilat ambidextrously with the same capability as a single class fighter with specialization.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Bladesong Proficiency

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)

Azure Flame

Upon command, the sword becomes sheathed in flickering sky blue flame, which can be adjusted in intensity from as small as a candle to the brightest of a flaming torch. The illumination ranges from 5’ to 15' radius. The blue light does not inhibit infra vision, or other light properties such as moonlight or sunlight.

When the spell sheath is activated, the flames takes on the properties of the sheath energy type. Fire energy generates a blue guttering torch like flame. Electricity emits intense blue lightning bolts.

Spell Sheath

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.

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

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.

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.

Feature

The blade from the cross guard to the tip has changed to clear crystal sapphire, while retaining the properties, strength and flexibility of the original metal construction. The details of the craftsmanship with intricate structures are clearly visible in the crystalline composition of the blade, including the circles with inset stars and metallic laminates. The quarter moon circlets have a faint glow and the stars shimmer like star sapphires in the sun.

Rite

Lord Belsilvar

gathered 3 Starsingers and 7 Knights of the 7th Order of the Seven Sacred Mysteries, along with the silver dragon Khilat. The ceremony was held in an ancient moon temple high in the Star Mounts, under a bright full moon and clear sky in a field of Motes of Moonlight and a Moonbeam spell. The Starsingers called Moonfire onto the alter to bathe Lord Elian and the sword. Each of the knights called forth Moon Blade spells in the shapes of their preferred swords and dubbed Lord Elian and the Moonblade which absorbed each of the seven Moon Blade spells. Lord Elian cast Detect Spirits at the same moment his own spirit was bound to the blade and he watched it pass into the moonstone.
