Teuvel'Khilat / Mageblade

Powers

Sword Casting

The wielder can cast spells through the sword. Spells that can be cast through the sword include memorized arcane and divine spells, as well as spells cast from various worn magic items, including beluths, bracers, mantles, rings, etc.

The blade provides the verbal, somatic and standard material components. Spell components valued less than 50 gp are provided by the sword, unless the component is the object of the spell. Special or costly components of a spell must still be provided by the spellcaster, as needed. Spells delivered by touch can be delivered with a touch of the blade.

While casting spells, the wielder can only take defensive actions such as parrying and improving Armor Class. The only offensive actions allowed include delivering spell effects by touch, which may require a successful hit. Any actions that would ruin spell casting still apply, including being successful struck by an opponent.

Spells from the wielder’s area of specialty are cast through the sword with an additional level of spell casting. This includes a wizard’s school(s) of specialization, a war wizard’s spells of choice, priest spells exclusive to their chosen deity, a specialty priest’s granted powers, and bards casting spells from the school of song.

Azure Flame

The blade can shed a nimbus of flickering sky blue flame at will. The light can illuminate out to 20’.

When Fey’ri are within 30’, the blade will detect them and glow with blue flames, but this can be quelled by the wielder.

Bladethirst

While shedding azure flames, the sword gains +1 to hit above and beyond any other magical bonus to hit already active.

In the round following casting a spell through the blade using Sword Casting, the bonus to hit increases by +1 with an additional +1 per every 3 spell levels, lasting for a number of rounds equal to the caster’s level divided by 3 and rounded down. The wielder also gains an initiative bonus of +1 for every 3 spell levels on the round following spell casting. Casting subsequent spells does not provide cumulative time, but starts a new set of bonuses effective the round following the last spell cast, though benefits of a higher level spell previously cast will continue until they expire before the benefits of the last spell take effect.

Flame Tongue

If the spell cast through the blade involves fire, the blue flame of the blade will radiate heat sufficient to light flammable items similar to a Flame Tongue sword and inflict an additional 1d6 of fire damage.

Frost Brand

If the spell cast through the blade involves cold, the blue flame of the blade will radiate cold similar to a Frost Brand sword and inflict an additional 1d6 of cold damage. The cold flame has a 50% chance to extinguish fire within a 5’ radius. The cold flaming sword can be used to ward off fire based attacks when interposed between the fire and wielder, providing protection equal to a ring of fire resistance.

Weapon Skill

• +1 to hit

Ambidextrous use

• No penalty is incurred while using Teuvel’Khilat in the wielder’s off hand.
