Powers

Falconblade

The amber glow adds 30’ to the bearer’s infravision.
Falconstrike (1 per 2 rounds) – The strike has a range of 50’, made at the wielders “to hit” and gains all bonuses, including the +2 enchantment. The strike appears as a spectral falcon of amber light.
Fly (1/day) for a total of one hour per day.

Falcon Spirit

The sword has the spirit of a peregrine falcon from the astral plane bound into the blade to provide the magical falconstrike power. Typical of the more advanced abilities of astral animals, the spirit is sentient with an animal like personality and intelligence score of 13, though unable to communicate effectively while bound in an inanimate form. The spirit is of neutral alignment and its only desire is to fly, hunt and experience life, so has an ego score of 6. It has learned fighting skills as a sword from its many masters, and provides sword fighting guidance at a subconscious level. If treated well, the falcon spirit will form a bond with its owner and seek to protect him.

During the Time of Troubles, the sword was merged into Chiliad allowing the spirit to fly in the nearby vicinity bound to Chiliad by an astral silver cord.

Kiira

When the Kiira of Bladesong was placed on Chiliad’s forehead intersecting the silver cord of the astral falcon spirit, the Kiira bonded with the falcon spirit. Falconblade increased in intelligence to 15 and ego of 10 and can communicate via telepathy. All the memories and fighting skills contained in the kiira are available to the falcon spirit and can be shared with the sword wielder.

The falcon spirit can project in a spectral form of amber light from its host object (initially Chiliad, but later its sword form) with the appearance of a golden falcon or flying golden sword. While the falcon essence is projected, the powers of flight and falconstrike are not available.

Gaining powers from the kiira, Falconblade can leave behind a small token of its spirit essence in the form of a small golden gem/kiira or plain golden ring, tangible only in the mind of the token owner. Typically one token is worn by the sword wielder, either a ring or a gem bonded to the forehead. Up to 15 tokens can be created, allowing the sword and its wielder to see and sense what is happening around each token. Empathic urges and simple guidance can be given to those possessing the tokens with unlimited distance on the prime material plane. The empathic connections can be used to establish clairvoyant and clairaudient connections.

-== Nature's Friend ==
+== [[Falconblade]] ==
-The wielder is naturally attuned to plants and animals within 1 mile, and has wilderness survival proficiency in the immediate terrain by observing the plants and animals.
-=== Animal Friendship ===
+* The amber glow adds 30’ to the bearer’s infravision.
-Up to 24 hit dice of natural animals of neutral alignment and animal intelligence can be attracted as companions. Wolves and dogs, rams, owls, hummingbirds and snakes are treated as half their actual hit dice, allowing twice the number to be attracted. All animal friends will become docile and follow the blade owner about unless the habitat is not suitable or the blade owner dismisses them. Neither will they attempt to harm each other while under the friendship influence. Natural animals not befriended generally behave as is the blade owner were not there; completely ignoring in most cases. Natural wolves will never attack the blade owner, even if not befriended.
+* Falconstrike (1 per 2 rounds) – The strike has a range of 50’, made at the wielders “to hit” and gains all bonuses, including the +2 enchantment.  The strike appears as a spectral falcon of amber light.

-=== Speak with Plants ===
+=== Falcon Spirit ===
-The sword wielder can speak with plants on a very rudimentary level and exercise limited control over them such as causing thickets to part to allow passage, or vines to entangle pursuers.

-=== Druid Spells ===
+During the Time of Troubles, the sword was merged into Chiliad allowing the spirit to fly in the nearby vicinity bound to Chiliad by an astral silver cord.
-The wielder gains additional Druid spells in the plant and animal spheres as if they were one level higher than their current level, even allowing spells for a non-Druid as if they were first level.
