Teuvel'Khilat / Mageblade save
Powers
Azure Flame
The blade can shed a nimbus of flickering sky blue flame at will. The light of the flame illuminates out to 20’.
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.
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.
Spell Components
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.
Spell Enhancement
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.
Spell Sheath
The wielder can cast spells into the blade, sacrificing their magical power to enhance the sword. The spells can be cast from memory or device. The type of spell determines the magical sheath power as indicated below.
Energy Sheath
If the sacrificed spell dealt damage of a particular energy type, the blade radiates that energy type of the spell. If the spell has more than one energy type, the wielder selects while type the sword radiates. Subsequent spells with energy types immediately replace the effects of the previous spell. The energy radiated lasts for as many rounds as the spell level plus an additional round for every 3 class levels of the spellcaster. Every successful melee attack delivers an additional 1d6 of damage of that energy type, while a critical hit will deliver 1d10 instead. Common energy types include:
- Cold
- Electric
- Fire
- Negative
- Positive
- Sonic
Bladethirst
If the sacrificed spell doesn’t have a particular energy type, the sword’s 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.
