Powers

Shadow Sword

At will, the sword can become sheathed in shadow similar to Shaundakul's Shadow Sword spell. The blade becomes non-reflective and easily concealed in the shadows. Wisps of shadow swirl from the blade.

While sheathed in shadows, the sword gains +1 to hit and damage against ogres, trolls, goblinkin, giantkin and giants.

Against undead creatures, the shadow sword is +2 to hit and damage.

Shadow

On command, the blade can shed shadows. The shadows seep from the blade like swirling wisps of purple and gray smoke or mist. The swirling shadows can extend up to 30 feet from the blade in all directions, entirely filling the sphere if desired. The wisps are chaotic, flowing as they will, but large dumps can be formed into vague shapes according to the wielder's desire. Though the wisps appear to be driven by currents, eddies and winds, actually wind has no impact on their movements or shape.

At will by contact with shadowy tendrils from the blade, the sword can dispel any magical light or darkness spell of less than 5th spell level that is within 30', including continual light or continual darkness spells.

Spells based on illusion and shadows that are cast using the swords shadows as a base are enhanced. Shadow monsters have maximum hit points and shadow magic causes maximum damage.

Portal Influence

The sword has a 50% chance to influence the destination of any magical portal that has a random nature.

Feature

A thin spine of black adamantium runs up the center of the blade, starting just above the family symbol, running through the center of the broad fuller and extending to the very tip to form a pointed needle like punch. The base of the spine is set with a rainbow colored iridescent rogue stone that shows on both sides of the blade. The sharp tip of the spine is covered in a coating of glittering fine diamond dust.  

Rite

Lord Feyfalcon had an adamantium dirk with a rogue stone pommel forged. He travelled to a dozen shrines to Shaundakul seeking a blessing from the Windwalkers by having them cast Shadow Sword while holding the dirk, and casting it himself when a suitable priest was not available. He took the dirk to Shaundakul's Throne in a Myth Drannor and cast Wind Blast to seek the god's favor. The Helping Hand appeared above the throne, accepted the offering of the dirk, and blessed the moonblade as Lord Feyfalcon empowered the blade with a portion of his spirit.
