== Moonblade ==
The sword is +2 to hit and damage with properties similar to the  [http://www.nj-pbem.com/data/Gods/humangods/Sel%FBne.htm Moon Blade] spell.  The sword can shift between metal and moon light, and can alter its size from 1-5 feet in length and can assume any standard sword form in that range including a dagger, short sword, long sword, bastard sword and great-sword. It wields as a short sword with regard to encumbrance, weight, speed factor and ease of use, and always gains the Elven racial short sword benefit. Anyone proficient in any of its forms is proficient with this blade. The sword's shape can be changed at will, taking as little as half a second to resize; and the sword will often do so during combat if its wielder is proficient in more than one of its forms. Transforming between shapes restores the weapon to perfection, removing any nicks or damage; effective even when shattered and all the pieces are in physical contact.




When melee is engaged, silvery moonfire baths the blade making it effective against creatures only hit by +4 or better weapons. Its strike drains vitality or life force causing an additional 4 points of damage. Undead are visibly wounded by the moonfire; their substance boils away from its touch, and they suffer double damage (weapons base+magic bonus+4 times 2) per blow. 

On a successful strike against an opponent, the moonglow temporarily scrambles their magic. On the round after being hit, victims cannot cast spells or call on any spell-like abilities. Existing spells cease to function for the round, and magical items wielded by the victim do not function either.
== Mercy Subdual ==



The wielder my choose to attack to subdue, gaining 1d6 additional temporary pummeling damage. One quarter of base sword damage inflicted is real damage. All other damage is temporary pummeling damage, including the 1d6 bonus. Once they receive temporary damage in excess of their hit points, they are considered subdued, unless they make a morale check to continue fighting.
=== Motes of Moonlight ===
seven times a day, the sword can generate 50 glowing silvery motes of pale moonlight which remain in place for up to 2 hours unless dismissed early or negated by magical means. The motes can form a line extending 150' or a 30' radius circle. Priests of Eilistraee, Sehanine and Selune standing among the motes are treated as if they were standing in the light of a full moon. The wielder can also detect Elven spirits within the area of motes, including those contained in objects, magic items, animals, plants or free roaming. The Moonfire blessing of Selune increases the mote count to 75 in a radius of 45' or line of 220' for a duration of 3 hours. 




=== Cone of Moonlight ===
A critical hit delivers double temporary damage, while real damage remains at one quarter of the base sword damage. All other critical hit powers are suspended.
Once per day, the sword can project a Cone of Moonlight that extends to 50’ with a 20' width. It reveals shape changed or polymorphed creatures, forcing them to their true form on a failed save, otherwise outlining them. The cone negates all electrical attacks in its path. The Moonfire blessing of Selune increases the extent from 50' to 70'.

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 spirits. This seemed to be the best way for Khilat and Halel to continue to guide their elven and dragon family, since the elves do not establish a clan lair.

Feature

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 spirits. This seemed to be the best way for Khilat and Halel to continue to guide their elven and dragon family, since the elves do not establish a clan lair.
