Khilat Moonblade - Aviel

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

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. If the owner falls in battle, the blade often rises and defends the body until aid can be rendered.



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.

It can be commanded to stand guard, or perform other simple tasks like push objects, cuts ropes, etc.

Throwing

The sword can be thrown like a spear. At the end of its flight path, it can:

• impale its target for double base damage
• begin dancing to attack one or more targets
• make a slashing attack and return to its owner

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. 



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

• Teleport - Flying range becomes unlimited with the teleport ability. Sword can blink while dancing in melee, up to 10 feet including between opponents.

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.
