Sehanine's Blessing

Motes of Moonlight

The tip of the blade can place a mote of moonlight where it will remain for 2 hours, unless cancelled by the wielder, dispelled or negated by magical darkness. One mote can be placed per minute, for a maximum of 120 motes at any given time. Priests of Eilistraee, Sehanine and Selune standing in the center of a cluster of at least 7 motes are treated as if they were standing in the light of a full moon.

The silvery moonlight shed by the blade can also contain motes of moonlight, with up to 7 motes per 5' radius of shed light, with a maximum of 49 motes when shedding light out to 35'. The motes wander around within the globe of illumination like fireflies.

Moonfire

The moon light can be detached from the blade and sent as a cloud of up to 14 cubic feet of radiant light in any direction at 40' per round. The light is strong enought to read by and is treated as moonlight as strong as a full moon. The cloud can include up to 7 motes. The light lasts 14 rounds once it has left physical contact with the blade or wielder.

Once per day, the drifting moonfire can be set afire, unleashing a 10' wide and 30' long line of Moonfire directly away from the sword. The effect is equivalent to the 5th level Moonfire spell granted by Sahanine. The fire does 14 points of damage to any undead caught in its path, and 2d4 points of damage to any living creature. The path of "cold white fire" remains active for 1d4+2 rounds with the following lingering effects. All magical auras, including glyphs and wards, are revealed by a green glow. It reveals shape changed or polymorphed creatures, forcing them to their true form on a failed save, otherwise outlining them in silvery fire. All electrical attacks initiated within the path are negated, while those from outside are deflected.

Morphing

Due to the Silver Dragon blood enhanced Moonfire, the sword can shift its shape at will into any object of a single piece or multiple interconnected pieces. Thus, the sword could become a chain, but not two separate daggers, though two separate daggers connected by a chain or cable would be acceptable. Changing shape takes as little as half a second to complete.

Transforming between shapes restores the weapon to perfection, removing any nicks or damage. This transforming magic can even mend the sword should it ever become broken or shattered, if all the pieces are available and in physical contact.  

Disguise

The sword change change its appearance as well, creating patterns and designs on its chosen form at will. It can attempt to mimic objects its owners have seen, though there is a chance the deception can fail depending on how well the object has been copied versus who well someone knows the original.

Combat

Due to its original lightweight construction with mithril, 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. The sword can assume the shape of any single piece weapon, including a dagger, short sword, scimitar, long sword, broad sword, bastard sword, great sword or two-handed sword. It can also assume other weapon forms, including a staff, hammer, or mace. The sword will often change shape during combat if the change is a benefit during combat and its wielder is proficient in more than one of its forms. This feature can be disconcerting to wielders if they are not familiar with this feature of the blade.

Kiira

The blessing of Sehanine's moonfire binds three Kiira to the blade.

Ar'Gisir'Khilat

Khilat's blood, used as the base to create the moonfire, binds Ar'Gisir'Khilat to the Moonblade. Any wielder of the sword automatically gains access to the knowledge and mantle of the Kiira gemstone. Each wielder can augment the mantle. The spirits of past sword wielders can access and activate the powers of the mantle on behalf of the sword or its current wielder.

Qu'Kiira'Aravae'drannor

Teuvel'Kiira'Khilat

The mantle spell from Ar'Gisir'Khilat has been extended to Teuvel'Kiira'Khilat creating a magical binding between the stones. Teuvel'Kiira'Khilat can be merged into the blade, or called out where it can easily be removed and worn by the blade owner or the expected heir. Blade owners will often give the Kiira to their heir late in life, and wearing the Kiira improves the chance that the blade will accept the new owner.

Interactions

Chromatic Blade - The motes can shine any color but lose their moonlight quality.
Shadow Sword - The Shadow Sword cancels the moonfire features of the moonblade during melee combat.
Flame Tongue - Flaming and Sunshine cancel the moonfire features of the moonblade during melee combat.

Selune's Blessing - The Moonfire blessing enhances the Moonfire to last 22 rounds, and the flash causes 22 points of damage to undead in a 50' length path. The Motes of Moonlight increase in count to 75 with a radius of 45' or line of 220' for a duration of 3 hours.

Appearance

Moon - on front.  

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

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 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.
