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 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 ===
+== Singing ==
-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.
+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.
-=== Gust of Wind ===
+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 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 ===
+== Spellsong ==
-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.
+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:
