Powers

Dancing

the sword can be released into the air where it will attack of its own accord at the same level as its owner. The blade will typically fight bladesinger style, sweeping around like a whirlwind, but can choose other fighting styles known by its current or past owners. The owl style of bladesong includes silent strikes, and the blade can be completely silent while flying. The blade can fly at a rate of 40 with a maneuverability of class A, but will not typically move further away than it can return to its owner within 1 round, which becomes unlimited range with the teleport ability. If the owner falls in battle, the blade often rises and defends the body until aid can be rendered.  

Weightless

The sword can become weightless at will and doesn't add any encumbrance when carried. The blade is often weightless during melee combat until just before the strike, requiring special training to wield it effectively.   

Gust of Wind

Once per round, the blade can generate a gust of wind from the tip of the blade. The wind forms a 10' round tube traveling up to 150'.   

Telekinesis

Once per day, the wielder can cause one or more objects totaling up to 25 pounds to fly in complete silence for 1 turn. The wielder can choose to have the objects fly in a 450 foot range either slowly in sweeping arcs or move swiftly to strike like birds of prey. The striking objects can cause a total of 15 points of damage at which point the spell ends. Concentration is not required once the objects are flying in a general pattern, but they can be redirected at will. The power can't be used at the same time that the sword is dancing.

Interactions

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.

-The wielder has benefits similar to ''Articus's Melee Manager''. The Speed function only works while the sword in held for hand to hand combat, though it may be used to throw the blade.

-* The sword always strikes first in a melee round, even though some magic effect might have otherwise slowed the wielder’s speed or reaction time.
-* The wielder’s attacks per melee round are increased by one place; 1 attack per round is increased to 3 attacks every 2 rounds, etc.
-* An additional attack is gained for every 5 levels gained above 5th level.
-* Armor class is enhanced one place.
-* Rolls for initiative and surprise are better by -1.
-=== Blur ===
+=== Weightless ===
-During hand to hand combat, the blade itself routinely shifts back and forth through time with the appearance of a blur spell, making it difficult to parry with a -2 penalty. When the blade sheds light while in the dark, this creates a strobe like effect. This effect can be disconcerting to the inexperienced wielder who may watch the blade in combat instead of feeling and becoming one with the blade.
+The sword can become weightless at will and doesn't add any encumbrance when carried. The blade is often weightless during melee combat until just before the strike, requiring special training to wield it effectively.
-=== Haste ===
+=== Gust of Wind ===
-Once per day, the sword can cast Haste to affect up to 12 allies within 40’ for 15 rounds.
+Once per round, the blade can generate a ''gust of wind'' from the tip of the blade. The wind forms a 10' round tube traveling up to 150'.
-=== Time Stop ===
+=== Telekinesis ===
-Alternately, the sword can cast Time Stop, causing all creatures, objects and spells within a 15’ radius shimmering sphere to freeze in time. The sword wielder gains 1d3 rounds to perform actions within the sphere. During the Time Stop a large hummingbird often appears within the sphere of effect. Once the Time Stop spell has completed, the sword will not be able to use the powers of speed, Haste or Time Stop for one month.
+Once per day, the wielder can cause one or more objects totaling up to 25 pounds to fly in complete silence for 1 turn. The wielder can choose to have the objects fly in a 450 foot range either slowly in sweeping arcs or move swiftly to strike like birds of prey. The striking objects can cause a total of 15 points of damage at which point the spell ends. Concentration is not required once the objects are flying in a general pattern, but they can be redirected at will. The power can't be used at the same time that the sword is dancing.
