Powers

Planes

The sword exists on multiple planes, using this nature to protect certain aspects of its magical power, while enhancing others. The sword doesn't lose any of its combat bonuses when traveling to the ethereal. astral, inner and outer planes. Other powers of the sword are retained on the various planes, but their operation may be altered by the fundamental nature of the plane.

The sword can strike creatures whose primary existence is on a different plane than the wielder. This typically applies to astral, ethereal, negative, positive and even the plane of shadows, but can also be effective against creatures using planar portals or windows, including one way or viewing only. The sword appears solid and substantial against such opponents, while the wielder appears as a shadowy indistinct figure that can be attacked at -2 penalty.

The sword gains an additional +1 bonus against extra planar creatures who can only be hit by magical weapons. This bonus only applies when the creatures is not on its native plane, and may be applicable when the sword is on an alternate plane.

When the sword travels to various planes, or operates across planes, its material composition will alter to conform to the nature of the plane; thus while on the elemental plane of earth the sword may appear crystalline composed of precious gems, or as solid cloud while on the plane of air, or as precious petrified woods in the feywild. The sword can also manifest different powers while operating across multiple planes of existence, for example it could be sheathed in lightning when reaching into the plane of air, while simultaneously shedding moonfire on the prime material.

Planar Vision

When the sword operates on more than one plane of existence, the wielder may see up to 30' on that plane by concentration. Such images are overplayed as a translucent image over the current planes reality. While the wielder can easily choose to see into typical adjacent planes such as the astral, ethereal and shadow plane, this will also allow sight into other planes through portals or when being scried.

Planar Transport

When holding the sword, the wielder can travel to any plane desired at will, but only one visit to a particular plane per day. Thus, the wielder could visit the astral plane, return to the prime material plane, then visit the ethereal plane, but could not return to the prime material until 24 hours had elapsed since the first return to the prime material, though he could choose to move on to other planes with ease. All gear carried, including several tiny and small animal companions or a single larger companion up to 170 pounds, can accompany the wielder.

Transportation to other planes is safe in that the travelers will never arrive inside solid objects, but ability to survive in the environment of the new plane is not conferred to the travelers. The wielder may spend time to preview the location prior to transport.

Plane Shift

Once per day, the wielder may transport up to seven additional creatures and their gear to another plane. All creatures to be transported must be touching the wielder or the sword. Transport is instant, arriving in a location large enough to accommodate all travelers.

Unwilling creatures can be sent by touch from either the wielder or sword, allowing a saving throw to avoid being sent to the destination plane designated by the wielder. No saving throw is granted on a successful hit with the sword. There is only a 10% chance of sending the creature to an exact location, who otherwise appears in a random location on the plane.

Banishment

Once per week, the wielder can cast power word, banishment. Extra-planar creatures that currently have less than 70 hit point are banished to their properly named home plane for a year and a day.
