Teuvel'Khilat / Defender
Dates: -8,406 to - DR (years)
Powers
Defender
The sword increases the wielder’s defensive abilities.
Defending
The sword's standard to hit bonus can be shifted to defense, as the sword deflects incoming attacks. Each round, the wielder can choose how many pluses of the sword should be applied as a bonus to armor class. Only the swords normal pluses are eligible to be used for defending, and all pluses for special circumstances are reduced commensurate with the number of pluses transferred to defense.
Disarm
The wielder can make a Called Shot to disarm an opponent, disregarding the standard called shot penalty.
Deflecting
The sword can deflect normal and magical projectiles aimed at the wielder, including missiles and thrown melee weapons, but excluding spell based attacks. The number of projectiles that can be deflected in a round is equal to the number of attacks the wielder has available for the rest of the round; each deflection using up one of the attacks left in the round. The wielder may roll to hit at -4 to redirect a projectile as an attack with a range equal to the distance the projectile initially travelled.

Appearance
Rune
Owl - on back.
Feature
Two owl wings of silver, gold and bronze extend from each side of the ricasso. The feathers are sharp and separated at the outer edge. In long sword form, the tines are 4 inches wide for a 10 inch wingspan. On the back side of the ricasso, the body of the owl is worked onto the blade in silver, gold and bronze work with two golden tiger's eye gemstones framed in platinum circles appearing like the owl's face.
Rite
Lady Aviel requested that three of Eilistraee's Sword Dancers bless her sword with a Sword Dance. Lady Aviel called a Moonbeam down into their midst while each dancer danced and cut themselves upon the blade to cover it in their blood and gain Eilistraee's favor on the moonblade. Once the blade began to glow with the goddess's moonfire, Lady Aviel lifted the blade into the air with telekinesis while the priests combined their powers in Spellsong to cast Bladedance upon it. As Lady Aviel bound her spirit to the blade, a Gust of Wind blew through the dancers and the illusory form of an owl passed from her to the blade.
