A layer of silver over a wider layer of blue mithral plating on the sword's cutting edge creates a halo effect around the darkmetal blade core. The moonglow of the blade comes from the shiny halo area and the moonstone. Near the base of the blade, a couple of inches above the cross guard, the blade is flared in a circle with the image of the moon. Imbedded in the blade to be visible from both sides, just below the moon circle, is a 1/2 inch round clear moonstone that always displays an image of the moon in its current phase.

Lord Elian gathered 3 Starsingers and 7 Knights of the 7th Order of the Seven Sacred Mysteries, along with the silver dragon Khilat. The ceremony was held in an ancient moon temple high in the Star Mounts, under a bright full moon and clear sky in a field of Motes of Moonlight and a Moonbeam spell. Using a quart of Khilat's dragon blood, the Starsingers called Moonfire onto the alter to bathe Lord Elian and the sword. Each of the knights called forth [http://www.nj-pbem.com/data/Gods/humangods/Sel%FBne.htm Moon Blade] spells in the shapes of their preferred swords and dubbed Lord Elian and the sword which absorbed each of the seven magic blades. Lord Elian cast Detect Spirits at the same moment his own spirit was bound to the blade and he watched it pass into the moonstone.
When the Silver Dragon Khilat chose to ascend to serve Bahumat at the twilight of his life, he took the magic ring that contained the soul of his first wife, the Silver Dragon Halel, and sang a draconic ballad as part of the ritual to ascend. Lady Lyassa sang with him and the spirit of Halel who was released during the magic of Khilat's ascension song. Lady Lyassa, with the help of several high mages of the Khilat family, created a link between the moonblade and the ascending spirit. This seemed to be the best way for Khilat to continue to guide his elven and dragon family, since the elves do not establish a clan lair.

Powers

Dreamwarning

The sword's owner receives a prophetic dream warning of danger within one day. The pommel stone will glow blue if danger is imminent, starting pale when the danger is within a turn and moving towards brilliant blue as it gets closer. The glow can be cancelled by the wielder at will.

Attempts to surprise the wielder are reduced by 5 on a d6 or 8 on a d10. 

Spending 2 hours within a radius of motes of moonlight allows the wielder to cast divination to garner one piece of advice for any event in the coming 7 days. Spending the time in revere or sleep allows for up to two pieces of advice each hour in the motes, but the information is hazier due to the dream state. 

 



Singing

The sword is also imbued with Elven and Dragon melody that can be called forth on command, but often times the sword sings of its own accord, particularly when its owner is sleeping and dreaming. The words of the melody can only be heard in the owner’s dreams.

Feature

A layer of silver over a wider layer of blue mithral plating on the sword's cutting edge creates a halo effect around the darkmetal blade core. The moonglow of the blade comes from the shiny halo area and the moonstone. Near the base of the blade, a couple of inches above the cross guard, the blade is flared in a circle with the image of the moon. Imbedded in the blade to be visible from both sides, just below the moon circle, is a 1/2 inch round clear moonstone that always displays an image of the moon in its current phase. 


Rite

When the Silver Dragon Khilat chose to ascend to serve Bahumat at the twilight of his life, he took the magic ring that contained the soul of his first wife, the Silver Dragon Halel, and sang a draconic ballad as part of the ritual to ascend. Lady Lyassa sang with him and the spirit of Halel who was released during the magic of Khilat's ascension song. Lady Lyassa, with the help of several high mages of the Khilat family, created a link between the moonblade and the ascending spirit. This seemed to be the best way for Khilat to continue to guide his elven and dragon family, since the elves do not establish a clan lair.
