Powers

Singing

Already imbued with song from previous blade owners, including Lyassa and Halel, the song has been enhanced. The blade anticipates the song of any singer within hearing, perhaps as a function of its ability to manipulate time. It can sing on its own, or harmonize with any and all singers. It has the uncanny ability to tie the songs of others together, no matter how different. It is effective at countering any singing opponent, including canceling any opposing counter songs.

The blade's song makes its wielder confident and immune to charm, command, confusion, fear, friends, repulsion, scare and suggestion. An emotion cast on the wielder only causes rage, focused on the one who cast the emotion spell. The sword's song also cancels the effects of a harpy's song, silences shriekers, and can entrance weak, earthly, living creatures, although this ability could be negated by a bard's counter-song.

Spellsong

By planting the sword tip down into the ground, while dancing and singing around the blade, the wielder can cast Eilistraee's Spellsong spell, once per day. The owner is treated as one of Eilistraee's Spellsinger specialty priests, and the sword counts as a second priest. Additional priests of Eilistraee can join in to augment the power of the spell without the need to cast their own spell. Any one of the following effects can be achieved:

Cast any priest spell of 5th level or below with standard range, duration, casting time, saving throws and effects. Spells can be any Drow priest spell, or standard spells from any of the following spheres: all, combat, creation, elemental, guardian, healing, necromantic, protection, sun, weather; animal, charm, divination, plant, summoning
Recall any single priest spell cast in the last 48 hours.
Restore a lost level to any one creature embraced during the song, including the caster.
Heal the caster or one creature touched for 1d4+1 hit points, plus 1d4 hit points per additional priest participating in the Spellsong.
A chorus of 7 priests can cure blindness, slow poison or cure disease.
A chorus of 9 priests can dispel magic, remove curse, or neutralize poison.
A chorus of 12 priests can cast regeneration or spell immunity to one specific spell.

The wielder can participate in the Spellsong casting of another priest, counting himself and the sword towards the total number of priests.

Vorpal

By singing and dancing around the blade for one turn, the blade can be empowered as a vorpal sword against one single specific opponent for the next 24 hours. That opponent must be uniquely identified by name or unambiguous characteristic. No other opponent can be specified during that same 24 hours. When their heads are severed, they are permanently slain or banished to their home plane.

17-20 normal/armored (16-20 with chromatic edge)
18-20 larger than normal size (17-20 with chromatic edge)
19-20 solid stone or metal (18-20 with chromatic edge)
20 adamantium metal (19-20 with chromatic edge)
20 Demi-God or Unique outer plane creature

Interactions

Chromatic Blade - Enhanced sharpness.
Teleport - Flying range becomes unlimited with the teleport ability. Sword can blink while dancing in melee, up to 10 feet including between opponents.
Wind - the sword can fly at a move rate of 60 while retaining a maneuverability class of A.

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.

-== Dancing ==
-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 ===
+== Singing ==
-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.
+Already imbued with song from previous blade owners, including Lyassa and Halel, the song has been enhanced. The blade anticipates the song of any singer within hearing, perhaps as a function of its ability to manipulate time. It can sing on its own, or harmonize with any and all singers. It has the uncanny ability to tie the songs of others together, no matter how different. It is effective at countering any singing opponent, including canceling any opposing counter songs.
-=== Haste ===
+The blade's song makes its wielder confident and immune to ''charm'', ''command'', ''confusion'', ''fear'', ''friends'', ''repulsion'', ''scare'' and ''suggestion''. An ''emotion'' cast on the wielder only causes rage, focused on the one who cast the ''emotion'' spell. The sword's song also cancels the effects of a harpy's song, silences shriekers, and can entrance weak, earthly, living creatures, although this ability could be negated by a bard's counter-song.
-Once per day, the sword can cast Haste to affect up to 12 allies within 40’ for 15 rounds.
-=== Time Stop ===
+== Spellsong ==
-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.
+By planting the sword tip down into the ground, while dancing and singing around the blade, the wielder can cast Eilistraee's ''Spellsong'' spell, once per day. The owner is treated as one of Eilistraee's Spellsinger specialty priests, and the sword counts as a second priest.

+* A chorus of 12 priests can cast ''regeneration'' or ''spell immunity'' to one specific spell.

 == Feature ==
-gem stones surround the Khilat family symbol on front and back in a circle of white gold. The top cardinal point is a clear King's Tear, the bottom cardinal point is a moonstone and the other two cardinal points are star sapphires, and the remaining stones are smaller cut diamonds. During a time stop, the stones will glow and turn off one by one to count the duration of time stop. Haste will light a number of stones equal to the number of allies affected, pulsing in a counter clockwise circle, starting fast and slowing until the spell expires. At all other times, a faint glow of one or two stones shows the hour of the day, while the moonstone shows the current phase of the moon.
+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.

 = Rite =
-Lord Walian conducted his ceremony in the temporal disturbance of a time gate with the assistance of two other Knights Paradoxical; a Chronologian of Labelas Enoreth and a Temporal Champion Bard historian. All three cast Time Stop in the same area at the same time and once inside the sphere of stopped time, they cast Blur, Haste, Slow and Temporal Anomaly, while Lord Walian cast Temporal Stasis as he bound his spirit to the blade's moonstone. Lord Walian's familiar, a giant hummingbird, disappeared into the time stream.
