Aura strong Nature; CL 12th
Slot none; Price 80,320 gp; Weight 3 lbs.

This +3 fey-forged wooden dueling sword is difficult to master, but also a popular choice among agile and charismatic magic warriors who have the traits required for getting the most from it. It’s particularly popular among elite elven warriors, who often carve the sword by hand as part of the long process of making it. Unlike regular dueling swords, the alfur vendi deals bludgeoning damage due to the difficulty of properly sharpening its edge. In addition to its regular weapon traits, this weapon is a +4 Nature implement that helps spherecasters gather and control their powers.

More expensive but also noticeably more powerful than their lesser cousins, these +3 decisive gladiuses also bestow a +6 enhancement bonus to Charisma upon their wielders, helping to maximize the chance of banishing extraplanar creatures away from the material realm. Rumors exist of banishing blades that also have the keen enchantment, though most people who specialize in using this weapon prefer to focus their training on achieving critical hits without needing to rely on weapon enchantments.

This +1 holy mithral longspear has a gleaming banner tied to its end. Once per day, as an immediate action, a creature can activate the banner of the saints to create a ward that repels magic. This functions as the Spell Ward (aegis, ward) talent of the Protection sphere, but instead of attempting a check against your MSD, creatures must attempt a check against a DC of 10 + your character level. This ward remains for one round per caster level of this item.

Flask Shard Effect: Increase the CL of this item to the next increment of 5, increase its enhancement bonus by +1, increase the number of times the Spell Ward can be used each day by 1, and increase the DC to overcome the spell ward by 2. At +2, this item becomes a minor artifact. Flask Shard Limit: +4

Barbarian’s furry is a +2 battleaxe adorned in furs and skulls which brings out the inner beast of its victims. Twice per day, when the wielder of barbarian’s furry deals damage to a creature with an attack action, the wielder can choose to activate its secondary effect. The target must succeed at a DC 13 Will save or be affected by a shapeshift, gaining the Animalistic Transformation and Bestial Mind trait, and must succeed at an additional DC 13 Will save or be affected by the Bestial Mind trait. This shapeshift lasts 6 minutes. The barbarian’s furry’s ability cannot be used alongside other strike talents.

Description
The bard-king’s tongue is a +1 resonant rapier that also functions as a masterwork flute. The wielder gains an enhancement bonus to Perform (wind) checks equal to twice the bard-king’s tongue’s total enhancement bonus.

10th Level – 18,600 gp: The bard-king’s tongue is treated as though it were made of singing steel (Adventurer’s Armory 2) in addition to any other materials it is made of, but does not suffer the normal penalty to damage due to being treated as silver. Additionally, it gains the benefits of the Precious Material Refinement flourish (which does not count towards the number of flourishes that could be applied to it). When the wielder uses singing steel as part of starting a Performance sphere instrumental or lyric, its effects persist for 1 round after the wielder stops maintaining it (or after a creature expends it, in the case of a lyric).
12th Level – 32,400 gp: The bard-king’s tongue gains the fey-forged (Ultimate Spheres of Power) special quality. Additionally, whenever the weapon’s resonant weapon quality is active, the wielder can use their Charisma modifier in place of the normal ability score modifier they use to determine its attack bonus.
14th Level – 55,500 gp: The bard-king’s tongue increases its enhancement bonus by +1. Additionally, the singing steel can be used up to three times before it needs to be brushed free of any lingering vibrations.

This long, thin +1 destructive focus elysian bronze club has ornate runes carved down its length that glow and smolder when the wielder casts a spell. Casters with the Destruction sphere may upgrade this weapon’s enhancement bonus or improve its special ability to the greater destructive focus ability as if they possessed the Smith Magical Weapons And Armor feat, but their base caster level (not counting any bonuses, such as from implements or class abilities) must be at least 3x the total enhancement bonus. This cannot be bypassed by raising the DC of the Spellcraft check to finish crafting. Casters must also provide the appropriate amount of additional crafting materials to upgrade this item; this item counts as half its total value in crafting materials and may be used normally throughout the crafting process. (For example, upgrading the blasting stick to a +2 weapon, which gives it +3 total bonus, changes its base cost from 9,300 gp to 19,300 gp and requires an additional 5,000 gp in materials, a caster level of 9, and 10 days of crafting to complete.)

Three times per day, when you or one of your allies within 45 feet is making an attack roll, skill check, ability score check, or saving throw, you may activate the bow of order as an immediate action to allow them to make the roll twice and take the highest roll. You must activate this effect before the roll in question is made. You may only activate the bow of order’s reroll effect if your alignment is lawful.

This +1/+1 grounding monk’s spade looks rough and well-used, with a thin layer of dirt and grime on its shovel side. Twice per day, the wielder can use the Survivalism sphere dredge ability with the Disrupt Terrain (ground) talent (using the wielder's Hit Dice as their associated ranks in the sphere to determine its effects).

Additionally, whenever the wielder would make an off-hand attack with the burrower’s spade in the same round as a main-hand attack, the wielder may forgo the off-hand attack to dredge up to two adjacent squares.

One of the most fiendishly complex (and intimidating) weapons, the chainblade is a +1 blast vessel tenebrous chainsaw^{Inv. HB} in the shape of a two-handed sword that can hold three charges that let it run for up to one hour each, and they can be recharged by spending 15 minutes with it. In addition to their ability to be stored in shadows and channel destructive energies, chainblades also contain sockets to attach up to three chainblade spell engines (although only one can power the blast vessel effect at once). The price of this item includes one of these spell engines. The blast vessel effect of this weapon is inactive unless the chainblade is running, but immediately takes effect (if it has been applied that day) whenever the wielder begins running it.

This +1 anarchic tekko-kagi^UE is a flexible piece of equipment favored by warriors who have erratic combat styles. Three times per day, when a creature within 45 feet succeeds at a saving throw, skill check, or ability check, or hits with an attack, you may activate the claw of chaos as an immediate action to force them to reroll the saving throw, skill check, ability check, or attack roll. However, starting after the reroll, they gain a +4 bonus to that category of roll until they succeed at another such saving throw or check or, if they reroll an attack roll, until they hit with another attack. Succeeding on the rerolled saving throw or check or hitting with the rerolled attack does not end this effect. You may only activate the claw of chaos’s reroll effect if your alignment is chaotic.

This +1 adamantine gladius has ornate gold decorations covering its broader sides, making it as much a work of art as a weapon of war. Three times per day, when an enemy misses an ally within 520 feet (including yourself) with a melee attack, you may spend an immediate action to allow that ally to make an attack with a natural or manufactured weapon against the enemy that missed them. If the attack hits, the ally gains a +4 dodge bonus against that enemy until the end of their next turn. If the ally was flat-footed against the enemy, they are no longer flat-footed, unless they are somehow immobilized or the attacker successfully feints after the counterattack.

The +1 ghost touch handaxe has a head that lets you look through daylight, cloud cover, and all physical objects to show the view of space through it, allowing one to check constellations and other stellar phenomena even during the day, and through the entire planet if need be. A thin, opaque metal band surrounds the axe head and provides its cutting edge. As a standard action the user can take once per day, the wielder of the cosmic axe can summon a transparent image of the cosmos around them. This functions as the Illusion sphere’s Blur (glamer) applied to the user, granting a miss chance of 35% to all attacks made against them for 3 minutes.

Awakening Effect: The cosmic axe becomes a +5 anchoring^UE ghost touch handaxe, and the miss chance from its blur effect increases to 50%.

This +1 plasma blade dagger allows the user to activate or deactivate its blade by speaking a command word. However, what sets this dagger apart from most others is that creatures slain by it are turned to ashes, as if subjected to a disintegration effect. Each time this weapon turns a Small (or larger) creature to ashes, it gains one charge of ashes, to a maximum of five charges stored. As a standard action, the wielder of this blade can use five charges of ashes to envelop a 50-foot sphere in heavy ash, as the severity level 4 effect of the Weather sphere. This weather condition persists for 5 minutes, but does not affect or hinder the wielder of the cremator.

Awakening Effect: This weapon becomes a +5 igniting plasma blade dagger, and the weather effect it can create is upgraded to severity level 6.

This +2 radiant edge blood crystal^UE battleaxe can project deadly light in combat, allowing its wielder to reach foes who are farther away. When bleeding foes are struck this way, the blood crystal at the weapon’s core draws the target’s blood up through the light, creating bright red lines in its radiant edge and briefly increasing the intensity of its glow when the blood reaches the crystal. The wielder may activate or deactivate the radiant edge effect as a free action during their turn.

This +2 obsidian^UE morningstar slowly heals any damage done to it, as if it were made of living steel^UE. When the wielder strikes an enemy with a standard action attack, or when making an attack with this weapon as a special attack action if the wielder has the Spell Attack feat, the enemy takes an additional 1d4 piercing damage per caster level and must succeed at a Reflex save or be entangled (as the effects of the Destruction sphere’s Crystal Blast (blast type, crystal) talent). This effect does not activate if the user is already applying a strike talent to their attack. The DC of this effect equals 10 + 1/2 this effect’s caster level. This effect’s caster level starts at 6, and the wielder may spend a spell point from this weapon to increase the DC of the Reflex save for this effect by their casting ability modifier (or by their highest mental ability score modifier if they do not have a casting ability modifier). This does not work if the wielder can already apply their casting ability modifier to the saving throw for this effect. The additional piercing damage and entangling effect have a separate caster level from the item’s regular caster level and do not improve if the user increases this item’s enhancement bonus. A creature who has the Destruction sphere may recharge this item’s spell points as if it were a spell engine.

Flask Shard Effect: Increase the caster level of this item’s Crystal Blast effect to the next increment of 4, and increase the maximum number of spell points it contains by 1 (at +1) or by 2 (at +2, +3, and +4). The item immediately gains the new spell points when a flask shard is added to it. Adding a flask shard increases the value of this item as if it were a spell engine. Flask Shard Limit: +4

Awakening Effect: The crystalspawn mace becomes a +5 impact^UE phase locking^UE obsidian morningstar, and its flask shard effect immediately increases to +4 (if it is below that level).

This +1 hungry thirsty battleaxe actively tries to devour enemies in combat, greedily tearing at their flesh and drinking their blood.

Description
A dragonbone pistol is a +1 flaming pistol that appears to be mostly carved from a single piece of bone, with small pieces made of other bone fragments. Draconic runes are inscribed along its barrel, and a DC 20 Heal check will reveal that it is alive. In fact, if damaged or even destroyed, the weapon will regenerate in 1d6 hours.

A dragonbone pistol can be used to deliver sphere effects. The spell must have a single target, require an attack roll, and must have a range beyond touch, such as a destructive blast (Destruction sphere) or ghost strike (Death sphere). When used to deliver magical sphere effects this way, an attack is made as part of the casting, and if it hits, the target takes the effects of the spell and of being hit with the firearm. The firearm must fire a single shot as part of the spell, the charge can not be held and used later. A critical hit does not change any damage the sphere ability might do.

A misfire with a dragonbone pistol causes the spell to be immediately lost. The enhancement bonus from a dragonbone pistol increases the caster level of a spell used with it in the same way an implement would, and the bonus from an implement does not stack with the bonus from this weapon.

Construction Requirements

Wiki Note: A dragonbone pistol's enhancement bonus as an implement is equal to its constant enhancement bonus as an item. Other effects which would increase the dragonbone pistole's enhancement bonus, such as using the Enhancement sphere, do not increase the pistol's caster level bonus.

This +2 arcing seeking darkwood shortbow is favored by martially-inclined druids and others who hunt in the wilderness. The grip of this elaborately-decorated weapon is marked with the symbol of a unicorn, while each of the limbs is patterned after an outstretched wing. In addition to functioning as a weapon, this bow provides the benefits of a pair of timeshifting glovesTS, allowing the wielder to fire more rapidly when needed.

Awakening Effect: The dream of the wild becomes a +5 arcing nimble shot^UE seeking darkwood shortbow. The timeshifting gloves effect immediately upgrades to +4 if it is below that level. In addition, once per day, the wielder can touch a creature and heal them of all poisons, curses, diseases, and broken or mangled limbs. This effect does not require attempting a check to cure those problems, even if a check would normally be required.

Description
When activated, an energy sword’s ornate handle projects a quantum field that contains energized plasma in a 2- to 3-ft.-long “blade.” Attacks made with an energy blade resolve as touch attacks. Half the damage it deals is electricity and the other half is fire. This damage bypasses resistance to fire and electricity, but not immunity. Creatures which are immune to fire or electricity take half damage from an energy sword and creatures immune to both take no damage. When the wielder attacks an object, damage from an energy sword ignores the first 20 points of hardness and its damage is not halved (even though energy damage is usually halved when applied to objects). Thanks to its quantum containment, an energy sword deals half damage against incorporeal creatures, despite not being a magical weapon.

The life of a highlander’s sword is not an easy one, especially for the eternal blade.

When first created, the eternal blade takes the form as a greatsword, and is of masterwork quality in all its various forms. Once an eternal blade in greatsword form is damaged enough to gain the broken condition, it changes form into a masterwork bastard sword with full hit points. Similarly, the eternal blade continues to change form each time this happens; changing form from bastard sword to longsword to shortsword and finally to dagger. Only once an eternal blade has reached dagger form can it be broken and destroyed.

Whenever you would score a critical threat against an opponent using the eternal blade, you can give the eternal blade the broken condition to automatically confirm the critical hit. The eternal blade changes form to a smaller blade, if applicable, only after damage has been dealt. An eternal blade can be returned to an earlier form by spending 1/3rd of the eternal blade’s current price in raw materials and 8 hours of work, 4 hours of work if you possess the Smith Magical Weapons and Armor feat (or similar ability) or have levels in blacksmith, or 2 hours if you have both the feat and the levels in blacksmith.

• 6th Level – 2,400 gp: The eternal blade in all of its forms gains a +1 enhancement bonus.
• 8th Level – 4,900 gp: The eternal blade in all its forms turns a shade of green as it becomes made of the living steel special material. Being made of living steel causes the eternal blade to regain 2 hit points each day (or 1 hit point each day if it is in dagger form and with the broken condition). Each day that the eternal blade begins the morning with full hit points, it returns 1 step closer to its original form as a greatsword.
• 10th Level – 9,300 gp: The eternal blade in all its forms gains the impervious weapon special ability, which makes it immune to rust, doubles the normal bonus to its hardness and hit points for each point of its enhancement bonus, and gain a +2 bonus to the eternal blade’s break DC and the wielder’s combat maneuver defense against sunder maneuvers.

This +2 nimble shot^UE rifle^UE is covered with scorch marks. The muzzle is a little heavier than usual thanks to a box crudely clamped on its end. Whenever a creature fires this rifle, it belches a blast of flames into the first square the bullet moves into after leaving the user’s square. This flame deals 2d6 fire damage (Reflex DC 13 halves) to all creatures in that square. This is an area-of-effect blast and is effective against swarms and similar creatures.

This one-headed +2 icy burst frost-forged steel^UE battleaxe is decorated like a dragon’s head. In addition, this weapon provides the effects of a thunderbolt ring^TS, except that it deals cold damage instead of electricity damage, strikes creatures in a close-ranged cone (25 feet + 5 feet per 2 caster levels) instead of a line, and does not gain a bonus effect based on the target’s armor. Creatures within the cone may attempt a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 this item’s caster level, initially DC 13) to halve the damage. Rumors claim that similar axes that deal fire, acid, or electricity damage exist.

Awakening Effect: The frost drake’s maw becomes a +5 icy burst frost-forged steel^UE battleaxe. The thunderbolt ring effect immediately upgrades to +4 if it is below that level. Finally, by speaking a command word as a free action, the wielder can cover both the weapon and their arm in ice. This does not hinder the use of the weapon or hurt the user unless they are vulnerable to cold damage (in which case it deals 1d6 cold damage/round), but while this ice is present, the wielder cannot be disarmed of this weapon and all of its damage is converted into cold damage. Speaking the same command word causes this ice to vanish.

This +1 arcing revolver is excellent at striking foes behind cover, making it a favored tool of gunslingers who often find themselves fighting foes in cramped, complex areas.

This +1 virulent^MCodex living mercury warhammer occasionally ripples somewhat and always seems perpetually on the verge of losing its shape and draining into the ground. Treat living mercury as living steelUE, except that it is silvery-white in color and is not affected by anything that specifically affects steel. In addition, as a standard action, this hammer’s wielder can use it to create any poison they know of whose cost is equal to or less than the gp amount for this item’s caster level, as detailed in the Creation sphere’s Alchemical Creation (material) talent. This poison is immediately applied to the hydrargyrum hammer and cannot be extracted or used for other purposes. This poison remains until used or overwritten by another poison. The wielder is never at risk of being poisoned by any poison this weapon contains.

Flask Shard Effect: Increase this item’s caster level to the next increment of 4. At base, this effect is worth 9,000 gp. At +1, this effect is worth 12,000 gp, and its value increases by another 12,000 gp for each increase thereafter. This effect is different from, and not changed by, the item’s regular enhancement bonus. Flask Shard Limit: +4

Awakening Effect: The hydrargyrum hammer becomes a +5 toxic^PPC:AoE virulent^MCodex living mercury warhammer, and the flask shard effect immediately upgrades to +4 if it is below this level. In addition, while it is held, this weapon creates a field of mercury that hovers around the wielder and automatically intercepts attacks. This has the same effects as the wielder wearing a suit of living steel armor if the opponent rolls a natural 1 on their attacks, and the field of mercury has the same properties as the poison currently infused in the hammer. Any creature that makes physical contact with the mercury field (such as through an unarmed strike or natural attack) is exposed to the poison.

“Craftsman, I fear you may have misunderstood me. I did not say I wanted this sword enchanted with some fire. I said I wanted it enchanted with ALL the fire. The funds you need will be in your account this evening.”

The inferno blade is a +5 flaming burst plasma blade fire-forged steel^UE greatsword, though its plasma blade special ability only deals (and bypasses resistance, but not immunity, to) fire damage, rather than being half fire and half electricity. Its blade may be activated or deactivated by the wielder as a swift action; none of its other special abilities function while it is deactivated, and the blade completely disappears in this state, leaving it looking like nothing more than an ornate hilt.

The inferno blade also functions as a CL 20th Destruction spell engine with the Energy Strike (blast shape) and Searing Blast (blast type) talents, as well as the Energy Focus (fire) and Shape Focus (Energy Strike) drawbacks. The inferno blade’s wielder can activate its spell engine as part of making a single attack as a standard action, or as part of an attack action if they possess the Spell Attack feat, though they cannot activate this special ability when making attacks or attack actions faster than a standard action. The spell engine adds 10d8 fire damage to a successful strike when used, or 20d8 fire damage if the wielder spends one of its spell points.

As a standard action a wielder can activate any number of times per day, the inferno blade can unleash a torrent of fire in a 30-foot radius burst, a 75-foot cone, or a 300- foot line (Reflex DC 20 halves). This wave of power deals 20d8 fire damage to all creatures and objects in range, affects ethereal targets, and is not halved or subject to a 50% failure chance against incorporeal targets.

Rumors hotly contest the origins and purpose of this item. Some say it was crafted at the behest of an efreeti king, while others say it is part of a set of legendary elemental blades, the lost sword of an angelic general, or even the personal weapon of a harbinger of the apocalypse. Whatever the reality, there’s no denying that it is one of the most expensive weapons ever forged.

This item can be rather clingy and jealous, and it often activates its attendant power to fly towards its current owner anytime they start to get too far away from it. This knife is known to use its diplomatic prowess to convince potential owners to pick it up and start using it… or to interject in conversations and convince potential challengers to go away.

Phasing glaives are +1 phasic glaives, endowed with the ability to strike foes straight through their cover. Twice per day, on a successful hit, a creature wielding a phasing glaive can teleport the struck creature (as the Warp sphere effect) to any location within close range (25 feet + 5 feet per 2 caster levels of this item). A Will save negates this teleport. Creatures teleported this way suffer 1d6 damage per 2 caster levels; this damage bypasses hardness, damage reduction, and energy resistance. While often considered something of a specialty weapon, warriors occasionally use these to teleport foes into prepared traps.

Flask Shard Effect: Increase this item’s caster level to the next increment of 5 and increase the number of times it can teleport a creature each day by 1. This weapon is already considered a +1 item for the purpose of flask shards, and therefore can only start its upgrade process with a +2 shard. Flask Shard Limit: +4

Description
This special, mithral and silver laced glove allows a creature to create pulse shots, as a 1st-level arcanopulser. The glove is worn over one hand and pulse shots can only be created in the hand it is worn on.

Alternatively, the glove can grant melee or ranged weapon special abilities. Special abilities count as additional bonuses for determining the market value of the gloves, but do not modify attack or damage bonuses. A pulsemage’s gloves of channeling cannot have a modified bonus (enhancement bonus plus special ability bonus equivalents) higher than +10, and may not have an enhancement bonus higher than +5 (prices for gloves higher than that require any bonus above +5 to be spent on special ability bonus equivalents). A pulsemage’s gloves of channeling must have a +1 enhancement bonus to grant a weapon special ability.

Description
This +1 bladed scarf is almost more blade than scarf—that of which is dyed a deep crimson.

While maintaining a Performance sphere dance, the wielder deals 1d6 slashing damage to enemies that start their turn within the wearer’s threatened area—if the wielder’s dance has the Belligerent Choreography talent applied to it, the wielder deals slashing damage instead of bludgeoning damage with it, as well as increasing the number of damage dice by +1 and the damage die by +1 step (d6 > d8 > d10).

8th Level — 9,000 gp: The razorquill scarf gains the keen special weapon quality.

12th Level — 35,000 gp: The razorquill scarf gains the sharding special weapon quality, although the range increment of such a ranged attack is 40 feet instead of 10 feet. Whenever the wielder successfully confirms a critical hit with the razorquill scarf, they can make a special ranged attack (as though using the sharding quality) at their highest base attack bonus – 5 against a different target.

14th Level — 56,500 gp: The razorquill scarf increases its enhancement bonus by +1, and increases its critical multiplier to ×3. On a successful critical hit, the wielder makes two sharding attacks instead of one—each one must target a different creature.

This +2 adamantine two-bladed scimitar^SoM pulses with a faint warmth in battle and leaves a trail of flames in the air when swung. However, it is most notable for the effect it can have on foes during battle. Once per day, as a standard action, this weapon’s wielder may create an aura that causes all foes in 30 feet to become shaken (no save) as long as they remain within the aura. This aura functions as the War sphere’s Totem Of Doom (totem) talent, lasts for five minutes, and moves with the wielder. By spending one minute focusing when part of a large battle, the wielder can instead cause this effect to cover an entire battlefield and last for five hours.

Awakening Effect: The scimitar of the sultan becomes a +5 adamantine two-bladed scimitar^SoM. In addition, the user may create the Totem Of Doom effect at-will.

The range of this search effect is increased to long against any creature whose bleeding was caused by the shark spear. This weapon’s caster level is always at least 3x its normal enhancement bonus.

Awakening Effect: The shark spear becomes a +5 bane (aquatic) hypochondriac^USoP wounding longspear, and the bleed damage dealt by its wounding effect is doubled. In addition, the range of its bleed detection increases by one step, to long range (400 feet + 40 feet per caster level) for normal searches, and to extreme range (1,000 feet + 100 feet per caster level) against bleeding caused by this weapon.

Once per day, as part of making an attack with a shrapnel glove as a standard action (or when making an attack action, if you possess the Spell Attack feat), you may trigger the shrapnel glove’s additional effect and deal an additional 10d4 slashing damage and 5 bleed damage to the creature you attacked as a barrage of tiny blades shoot out of the front of the glove. This effect ignores spell resistance, spell turning, and can penetrate a globe of invulnerability, antimagic field, or other forms of antimagic, and is not treated as a spell or as magical for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction, damaging incorporeal creatures, or for creatures or classes that gain a bonus to saving throws against magic. If you did not strike the creature with your original attack, they avoid the additional burst of blades from the shrapnel glove.

Although not an artifact, this blade is too expensive and difficult for any regular crafter to create, so only a few have ever been made. While wielded by a creature, the sword of oaths emits a blue glow that sheds light as a torch, although any magical darkness effect can suppress this power. It also functions as a +3 longsword. Its true power, and value, lies outside of its use as a weapon. Each sword of oaths is attuned to a particular code, edict, or similar set of tenets chosen when it is created. While the exact oaths vary, they may resemble a paladin’s code of conduct, the edicts of a samurai order, or a set of monk vows. A creature who has sworn to follow the oaths of one of these blades can use it to cast a binding compulsion on anyone who swears the same oaths in the blade’s presence. This functions as the Fate sphere’s Geas (advanced, word) talent augmented by the Greater Geas and Mark Of Judgment advanced talents, except that it is a permanent effect and is no longer a curse. Swearing oaths this way creates a permanent, visible symbol on the oathtaker’s body that thematically represents the oaths themselves. As long as they uphold the oaths, this symbol appears vivid and new. If they ever break their oaths, the symbol becomes faded. This symbol can be covered, but cannot be changed or hidden by illusion magic.

Awakening Effect: The sword of oaths becomes a +5 longsword. In addition, the user can use the Fate sphere’s Atonement (advanced, word) talent at-will, without needing to spend any spell points. This Atonement effect can reverse the effects of any Mark Of Judgment.

This +1 arcsilver^USoP heavy mace is also an accurate orrery of the solar system of the world it was created on, showing the relative position of the sun and all major planets and moons (albeit not with the true distances). Despite the apparent delicacy of the rings, they strike as hard as any solid weapon. When the wielder strikes an enemy with a standard action attack, or as part of an attack action if the wielder has the Spell Attack feat, they can create an area of bright light centered on the system scepter and moving with it, as the basic effects of the Light sphere and with its caster level equal to this weapon’s caster level. This bright light reveals all invisible creatures and objects within its range and lasts for 1 round per caster level. The wielder may also activate this effect as a standard action by holding the system scepter up.

A shatter shot is a special type of alchemical cartridge designed to hold a single dose of a contact poison, inhaled poison, formulae, liquid alchemical item, potion, oil, or dust. The shatter shot is designed to shatter upon impact, releasing its content on or centered on the target. A shatter shot deals no weapon damage. Filling the vial requires a full-round action. This type of ammunition targets touch AC.

A splatter shot is designed to hold 2 doses of a contact or injury poison; if only loaded with one dose or a dose from 2 different poisons, it is ineffective. When fired, every target damaged by the scatter shot are also affected by the included poison. Filling a splatter shot requires a full-round action. This type of ammunition targets touch AC.

This greatsword has different powers, composition, and names depending on the time of day. During the daytime, the solar eclipse blade is a +5 brilliant energy glorious^UE greatsword that can still harm undead, constructs, and objects. Whenever the user makes an attack action with the solar eclipse blade, they may create a bright light that binds the target; this functions identically to the effects of the Light sphere’s Bound Light (light) talent applied through the Solar Strike strike talent and the Spell Attack feat, but does not apply if the user is already applying a strike talent to their attack. During the night, the lunar eclipse blade is a +5 shadowstrike shadow wake umbral^UI adamantine greatsword. Whenever the user makes an attack action with the lunar eclipse blade, they may create a blot in all of the struck creature’s squares. This blot functions as the Dark sphere Hungry Darkness (blot, darkness) talent and lasts for one minute. The user cannot activate this effect if they are using a strike talent. During the 30 minutes of dawn and dusk, the user may change this weapon between the solar eclipse blade and the lunar eclipse blade as a free action at any time, even when it is not their turn.

During a natural solar or lunar eclipse, not a temporary event caused by magic, the weapon gains all the special abilities of both forms and can apply both the Bound Light and Hungry Darkness effects with the same attack action. All DCs of effects from this weapon are equal to 25 + the user’s highest mental ability modifier + the user’s mythic tier, including the DCs of any effects caused by its weapon special abilities.

Destruction
The eclipse blade can only be destroyed if a deity of darkness uses it to kill a deity of light, then immediately kills themselves. An ancient prophecy says that if this occurs, the eclipse blade will absorb the powers of both deities and become something entirely new.

This legendary blade and the tales of Meowlin are known through all catkind as Meowlin who guided this fated hero to free this blade from its fey-forged prison in the petrified forest. Wielded by a legendary long cat of great renown, this blade was raised to defend the defenseless kittens and drive back many ferocious foes to eventually establish a peaceful kingdom in which catkind prospered comfortably.

Description
This +4 advancing greater transformative impervious mithral longsword is also known as the sword of the feline lords. This blade may only be wielded by a chosen few, and is treated as a non-magical masterwork longsword to anyone whom Expawlibur deems unworthy. Expawlibur may determine the worthiness of its wielders in many ways, such as by being pulled out from an ancient stone or tree, or by being gifted the blade by a noble cat spirit of the lake from the island kingdoms.

While wielded by someone recognized by Expawlibur as worthy, the wielder also gains the following abilities:

• Saviour of Cats: Felines innately recognize the wielder’s status as one of the feline lords. The attitude of any felines which observe Expawlibur being wielded is always a minimum of indifferent. Additionally, Expawlibur’s wielder may always communicate with any feral feline, as though under a constant Nature sphere Speak With Wildlife effect, and any intelligent feline as though the wielder possessed truespeech.
• Lord’s Calling: As a standard action, Expawlibur’s wielder may concentrate on the wielders of the past. This functions as a blade tutor spirit spell (Melee Tactics Toolbox) with a caster level equal to the wielder’s Hit Dice. In addition, the previous wielder’s spirit summoned by this effect may help by providing information that they knew while they were alive as though under a speak with dead spell. In each world that Expawlibur is found, the experiences of its wielders may vary, and the information they might provide is subject to GM discretion.

Destruction
Expawlibur’s source is its weakness, and as such it can only be destroyed by sundering it or ritualistically treating it with something made from its source. Each time Expawlibur surfaces, its source varies – be it a piece of the stone it was pulled from, or water from the lake it resided in. The source is always a physical object or location with resources which could be used to craft something to destroy Expawlibur, be it a spear made from the rock it was embedded in or blessed waters from the lake it was bestowed from.

If Expawlibur would be destroyed, the blade’s “soul” lays dormant, resurfacing the next time its people are in need.

Description
Upon first inspection, Finis is a pure black greatsword in a silver sheath. When sheathed, Finis functions as a normal greatsword and can be wielded as normal, although it deals bludgeoning damage instead of slashing or piercing damage. When drawn, all attacks made with Finis resolve against touch AC. A living target takes no damage; the creature instead must succeed at a DC 25 Fortitude save or be rapidly reduced to black smoke, killing it instantly. Against non-living targets, Finis instead deals bonus damage equal to three times its wielder’s base attack bonus. When drawn from its sheath and each round it remains drawn, Finis drains 1d4 spell points or twice that number in spell levels from the wielder. If the wielder lacks sufficient spell slots or spell points, 2 Constitution damage per round is instead dealt to the wielder. The costs of wielding the sword doubles every 1d6 rounds.

If not in the possession of a good creature (even if simply set on the ground in an open area), any creature of non-good alignment within 60 feet of Finis must succeed at a DC 20 Will save each round at the start of its turn or be compelled to attempt to take the sword. Finis will attempt to overwhelm the mind of any such creature, forcing it to slay every creature that has failed a save against this ability. Once there are no more such creatures, Finis will force the wielder to kill itself.

Destruction
A wielder of a good alignment must bear Finis for 50 years without drawing it, after which the item loses all power.

The holy king’s blade is a +5 attendant holy longsword with the unusual ability to switch between two different modes. Normally, it has the invisible weapon special ability while held, making it difficult for foes to see and excellent at piercing their defenses. However, by speaking a command word as a free action during their turn, a wielder can remove the invisible weapon special ability and replace it with the plasma blade weapon special ability, allowing it to deal both electricity and fire damage (and bypassing resistance, but not immunity, to both elements). Repeating the command word restores the invisible special ability and removes the plasma blade special ability. As a standard action that can be made three times per day, though only while the plasma blade special ability is active, the wielder can unleash a blast of destructive light taking the form of either a line or a cone in close (75 feet) or medium (300 feet) range. This blast deals 20d6 sacred damage to creatures and objects, increasing to d8’s against evil undead and evil outsiders, but dealing no damage to good-aligned creatures. This blast deals its full damage to incorporeal targets (rather than being halved, as many attacks against incorporeal targets are) and bypasses all hardness. Effects that hide or change alignments must either have a higher caster level than the holy king’s blade or be mythic abilities to fool it.

Destruction
The holy king’s blade cannot be destroyed, but it can be reclaimed from mortal hands if the rightful bearer (or their designated representative) tosses it into a specific heavenly pool in the Neutral Good plane and calls upon the gods to take it back.

This dagger is made of an unknown metal and looks a little like an exaggerated lightning bolt with unreadable runes carved into the sides. The canceller normally acts as a +1 keen dagger; its enhancement bonus increases for higher-level characters by +1 at 4th level and every 4 levels thereafter (to a maximum of +5 at 16th level). In addition, the canceller is capable of negating magical effects it comes into physical contact with; this includes all effects that are subject to (counterspell) feats, as well as all effects that can be removed by break enchantment, remove curse, miracle, or wish. The wielder may choose to not negate specific magical effects, but they must be aware of those effects to exclude them from this artifact’s powers.

The canceller does not affect most instantaneous effects after they have been used, but if the wielder possesses the Smash From The Air (Weapon Mastery) feat or any reasonably similar ability, they may ready an action to use the canceller and negate any spell effect that targets them or would include them in its area of effect. A character who readies this action must use one attack of opportunity for each spell they negate (spells with multiple attack rolls targeting them count as one spell), but can negate multiple spells each round if they have enough attacks of opportunity. The canceller does not affect other artifacts or magical effects created by deities.

Destruction
The canceller can only be destroyed by using it as part of a ritual designed by the dagger’s creator on a world with access to magic. The backlash of its destruction encases the entire planet in a permanent magic-dead zone where only artifacts, godly powers, and self-powered magic items function.

This scythe looks organic in origin, as if it was made from the limb of an enormous spider that had developed a mantis’ claw on the end of one leg. Treat the white scythe as a +5 vorpal adamantine scythe (though it is made of organic materials instead of metal). If you make a single attack with this weapon as a standard action, or as a special attack action if you have the Spell Attack feat, this scythe deals an additional 20d6 untyped damage and may reduce objects or creatures to dust (as described in the Disintegrate advanced Destruction talent).

As a standard action a wielder can activate five times per day, the white scythe can unleash a disintegrating burst of energy in a 30-foot radius burst, an 80-foot cone, or a 320-foot line (Reflex DC 30 halves). This wave of power deals 20d6 untyped damage to all creatures and protected objects (such as magic items) in range, affects ethereal targets, and is not halved or subject to a 50% failure chance against incorporeal targets. This blast simply disintegrates unprotected objects and matter (such as walls or dirt) within range, but does not harm the scythe’s bearer or the bearer’s other equipment.

Destruction
The white scythe can only be destroyed by striking it with an attack that does at least 20d6 damage to it and rolls maximum damage on all of its damage dice. These dice must be rolled and cannot be modified by effects like the Maximize Spell metamagic (although abilities that reroll damage dice still work). It is otherwise impervious to harm.

This +3 longbow is covered in ancient sigils of fire and light. As a standard action, the wielder of this bow can use it to launch a blast of deadly energy anywhere within the bow’s range. This acts like a destructive blast dealing 1d6 fire/untyped damage per caster level with the Destruction sphere Radiation Blast (blast type) and Calamity (blast shape) advanced talents, though the shape is always a close-range burst centered where the arrow hits. The user may choose to attack less than the maximum radius. In the hands of most creatures, this attack has a saving throw DC of 17. Mythic creatures may instead use their normal casting DC (or their DC for the Destruction sphere, if higher), and add their tier to the DC. In addition, this weapon increases in caster level to match a mythic user’s character level if they are level 15 or higher, and in the hands of such a creature, it also becomes a +4 weapon at 16th level and a +5 weapon at 18th level. These increases for mythic users immediately end when they are no longer wielding the weapon.

This special ability may only be applied to ranged weapons.

You may alter the trajectory of your attack once when making a ranged attack with an arcing weapon. Rather than having your attack travel in a straight line, you may have it make a single turn of up to 90 degrees, and determine the effects of cover from the square in which your attack turns. You may even use this to attack a target that would normally be behind total cover. However, you still determine line of sight from your own square, suffering concealment normally.

This special ability may only be applied to firearms and heavy weapons. When making an attack with this weapon, the user may have the weapon fire off a storm of shots which target everything in a 10-foot by 10-foot square (as opposed to a single target). The wielder makes a separate attack roll against every target in the area when firing this weapon. The attack damage cannot be modified by precision damage or damage-increasing feats such as Vital Strike. Effects that grant concealment, such as fog or smoke, or the blur, invisibility, or mirror image spells, do not foil an array attack. If any of the attack rolls threaten a critical, confirm the critical for that attack roll alone. Any abilities that would function differently or fail to function for a scatterUC attack are changed in the same manner for an array attack.

This special ability may only be applied to any handheld magic item, including weapons, shields, or implements. An attendant item springs to hand when you send for it. As a swift action you can call for an attendant item, and if it is within 50 feet it attempts to leaps to your hand. If it is currently held by another creature or trapped or bound in some way it fails to arrive, though it can extricate itself from a backpack or sheathe. You must possess an attendant item for at least 24 hours before you can use this function, and only one creature can have the ability to use this function at a time.

This special ability may only be applied to firearms and heavy weapons. An automatic weapon allows its wielder to make attacks with it as if they had the Rapid Shot feat. If the wielder has the Rapid Shot feat, they can use the additional shot from that as well, but the penalty for all shots fired in that round increases to -6.

This special ability may only be applied to a non-light melee weapon.

Like the avalanche of a mountain, avalanche weapons apply the power of momentum from the wielder’s full body to the attack instead of its Strength. A wielder of an avalanche weapon can choose to apply her Constitution modifier to damage rolls with the weapon in place of her Strength modifier.

This modifier to damage is not increased for two-handed weapons, but is still reduced for off-hand weapons.

Aura moderate Enhancement; CL 7th; Smith Magical Weapons And Armor, Enhancement sphere (Physical Enhancement); Price +1 bonus

A blast vessel weapon may be imbued with a (blast type) talent that the wielder possesses as a standard action. Once imbued, it deals 1 die of bonus damage, with die size, damage type, and additional effects as appropriate to the blast type. The weapon keeps this blast type for 24 hours or until another blast type is imbued. The save DC of any additional effects are equal to that of the creature imbuing the weapon. Blast type talents that carry an SP cost cannot be imbued.

Aura moderate Destruction; CL 10th; Smith Magical Weapons And Armor, Destruction sphere; Price +2 bonus

This special ability may only be applied to melee weapons.

Whenever a blood dowsing weapon is used to deal damage to a creature, as a free action the wielder may attune the weapon to the damaged creature. A willing creature can be attuned by using the weapon to inflict 1 point of damage on themselves. Once attuned, the wielder can spend a full-round action to have the weapon point in the direction of the attuned creature. This effect has a range of 1 mile per point of enhancement bonus of the weapon. A blood dowsing weapon may be attuned to a number of creatures equal to its enhancement bonus; if the wielder attempts to attune additional creatures beyond this limit, he may choose which previously attuned creature to become unattuned. This is a (divine) effect but is not blocked by wood or stone, though is still blocked by lead.

Any creature that wields the weapon becomes aware of the creature type and age of any attuned creatures as well as how long ago they were attuned, but not any further information.

Aura faint Divination; CL 5th; Smith Magical Weapons And Armor, Divination sphere (Dowsing (divine)); Price +6,000 gp

This special ability can be placed only on slashing or piercing melee weapons. While the wielder benefits from a raging song performance (whether her own or from an ally), this weapon gains the keen weapon special ability. If the wearer confirms a critical hit while under the effects of a raging song, she gains 1d10 temporary hit points until the raging song ends. If the weapon's critical multiplier is x3, add 2d10 temporary hit points instead; if the multiplier is x4, add 3d10 temporary hit points instead. While its powers are active, the weapon vibrates and makes a barely audible hum that rises to a shriek of triumph when it confirms a critical hit.

You can charge up a weapon with this special ability as a move action.

This special ability may only be applied to firearms and heavy weapons. A weapon with the burst special ability can attack all targets in a line with length equal to its first range increment or a cone out to half its first range increment. In either case, the weapon targets creatures as if it had the scatterUC quality for all purposes, rolling unique attack rolls for each creature and applying the quality’s normal changes regarding precision damage, miss chance, and penalties to attack rolls. If the weapon already possesses the scatter quality, it uses its normal range for the cone and doubles its first range increment when fired in a line). A weapon with this special ability is considered to have the scatter quality.

Certain advanced psionicists have opted to combine firearms and psionic power to create weapons capable of channeling their supernatural might into their ammunition. This special ability may only be applied to weapons which can deal damage in a line, cone, or burst. Whenever the wielder uses a spell, power, or other ability that affects creatures in the same shape that the weapon deals damage in (such as a cone-shaped breath weapon and a vortex gun), they may channel the ability through the weapon, using the weapon’s range in place of the ability’s normal range and adding the weapon’s enhancement bonus as a bonus to the ability’s attack roll and saving throw DCs.

When channeling the ability in this way, the wielder makes an attack roll with the weapon covering the same altered area as the ability, using the longer of the two actions needed to use the ability or use the weapon. If the weapon requires an attack roll, only creatures hit by the attack roll are affected by the associated ability.

A conscription weapon forces enemies to become allies, often turning the tide of battle in wars where such weapons are common. Creatures who take damage from conscription weapons must attempt a DC 17 Will save. Failure means that the creature must cease attacking the weapon’s wielder or known allies of the weapon’s wielder. The creature is then under the influence of the Command powerful charm, as if cast by the wielder of the sword. This control lasts for 12 rounds, but the creature may attempt a saving throw at the end of its turn every round to try and shake off the effect. Similarly, if the sword leaves the wielder’s possession, the effect immediately ends. When the weapon successfully conscripts a creature in this fashion, the weapon’s power cannot be used again for 1d6+1 rounds.

Aura moderate Mind; CL 9th; Smith Magical Weapons And Armor, Mind sphere (Command (charm), Powerful Charm); Price +3 bonus

This special ability can only be applied to melee weapons which deal slashing damage.

A cord-cutting weapon can be used to attack the invisible silver cord which ties a creature’s astral projection to their physical body. This requires a successful sunder combat maneuver against the CMD of the creature connected to the cord, applying the normal miss chance for attacking an invisible target. A silver cord is considered to have a hardness of 0 and a number of hit points equal to 5 x the caster level of the Astral Projection effect which created it. If the cord is successfully sundered, the astral projection returns to the target’s physical body.

If a weapon possesses both the cord-cutting and vorpal special abilities, successfully sundering a target’s silver cord destroys the cord, killing the target as normal and ending their astral projection rather than returning their astral projection.

As a standard action, the wielder of this weapon may make an attack on a creature not native to the current plane of existence. If the attack hits, in addition to normal damage, the outsider must attempt a Will saving throw against a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the Hit Dice of the attacker + their Charisma modifier. If they fail, they are forced to return to their home plane of existence. If the attack is a critical hit, they must save against this ability twice.

A destructive focus weapon allows the wielder to transfer the weapon’s enhancement bonus to the destructive blasts of the wielder. As a free action, at the start of her turn before using her weapon, the wielder chooses how to allocate her weapon’s enhancement bonus, either to his attack with the weapon or his destructive blast. The bonus to the destructive blast lasts until the weapon’s wielder’s next turn. The enhancement bonus from the weapon applies to attack rolls and damage of the destructive blast.

The wielder of a dispelling weapon may store a spell point or dispel magic spell into the weapon, as if using a spell storing weapon. Just as with a spell storing weapon, the wielder may expend the spell or spell point to perform a targeted dispel against a target damaged by the weapon. However, the magical skill check to dispel gains an additional bonus equal to the weapon’s enhancement bonus. This bonus also applies to a magus’s dispelling strike arcana or a barbarian’s spell sunder or sunder enchantment combat maneuver check.

Aura faint Life; CL 5th; Smith Magical Weapons And Armor, Life sphere; Price +1 bonus

A dispelling burst weapon functions like a dispelling weapon but may store greater dispel magic spells or up to 2 spell points, which may be spent jointly as if using the Improved Counterspell feat. In addition, the spell or spell point may be discharged when the wielder of a dispelling burst weapon confirms a critical hit. When the wielder does so, the bonus to the check made to dispel (including from dispelling strike, spell sunder, or sunder enchantment) increases by an amount equal to the weapon’s enhancement bonus or the weapon’s critical multiplier (whichever is higher).

If a dispelling burst weapon confirms a critical hit while it is not currently storing a spell point or dispel magic or greater dispel magic spell, yet if the wielder has the Counterspell feat or either spell prepared (or is a spontaneous caster able to cast either spell), she may cast either spell into the weapon as a swift action or place 1 or 2 spell points into the weapon as a swift action, and then immediately discharge it into the target as a free action.

This special ability may only be applied to weapons that use charges. When this special ability is applied, the creator chooses acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic damage. As long as it is charged or is using charges to make attacks, the weapon deals all of its damage as energy damage of the chosen type and targets touch AC rather than normal AC. If the weapon has the blocking special feature, the shield bonus on AC from blocking also applies to the wielder’s touch AC.

The cost increase of this weapon is equivalent to a +1 bonus for firearms and heavy weapons that deal acid, cold, electricity, or fire damage, +2 bonus for firearms and heavy weapons that deal sonic damage, +3 bonus for other weapons that deal acid, cold, electricity, or fire, and +4 bonus for other weapons that deal sonic damage.

Expanded Energized Weapon Properties

If a weapon has the energized or hybridized special ability and deals damage of certain types, the following additional modifications can be applied to it at no additional cost.

Antibiological: If acid, cold, or sonic damage is chosen with this special ability and applied to a ranged weapon, the creator may choose to have the weapon’s attack operate as antibiological. Antibiological weapons deal no damage to objects, undead, or constructs but deal 1d6 additional damage against living creatures.

EMP: If electricity damage is chosen with this special ability and applied to a ranged weapon, the creator may choose to have the weapon’s attack operate as an EMP. An EMP attack deals no damage to non-cyborg living creatures but deals 1d6 additional damage against robots, androids and creatures with cybernetic implants. A creature that takes damage from a critical hit by an EMP cannon must succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save or be staggered for 1d4 rounds.

Laser: If electricity, fire, or sonic damage is chosen with this special ability and applied to a ranged weapon, the creator may choose to have the weapon’s attack operate as a laser. A laser attack can pass through force fields and force effects, such as a wall of force, to strike a foe beyond without damaging that field. Objects like glass or other transparent barriers do not provide cover from lasers—but unlike force barriers, a transparent physical barrier still takes damage from a laser passing through it. Invisible creatures are immune to damage caused by a laser weapon. Fog, smoke, and other clouds provide cover in addition to concealment from laser attacks. Darkness (magical or otherwise) has no effect on lasers other than providing concealment, and though a laser consists of highly focused light, it does not provide any illumination. ||

When a weapon with this special ability scores a critical hit on a target, it also bestows the entangled condition to that target. A creature entangled by this special ability may, on its turn, attempt to break free as a move action, attempting a Strength or Escape Artist check against a DC equal to 15 + twice the weapon’s enhancement bonus. The entangled condition ends on its own after 1 minute.

This special ability can only be applied to ranged weapons which use charges. As a full-round action, you may fire a blast with the weapon rather than making a normal attack. When an exploding weapon is used to launch a blast, no attack roll is made—you simply target a 5-foot-radius spread within the weapon’s first range increment. This blast radius increases by 5 feet for every point of enhancement bonus the weapon has beyond +1.

You must have line of effect to your target when you launch a blast; if the blast impacts a solid object before reaching the target area, it explodes at that point. All creatures caught in the blast radius take damage as if struck with the weapon but are allowed a DC 14 Reflex save for half damage. If the attack has any special effects other than damage, they are negated with a successful saving throw. Firing a blast in this way consumes 10 charges.

This special ability may only be applied to a light or one-handed melee weapon. A wielder of a fey-forged weapon can choose to apply her Charisma modifier to damage rolls with the weapon in place of her Strength modifier. This modifier to damage is not increased for two-handed light weapons nor reduced for off-hand weapons. If a fey-forged weapon is used to attack a creature with the fey creature type, the attacker suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls and damage rolls.

This weapon uses special guidance or dimension-warping effects to launch attacks from unusual angles. When you make an attack with this weapon, you may choose a point within the weapon’s first range increment to determine line of sight to a target, and this square is considered the new origin square of the attack. Use that square to determine the effects of cover, and your own square to determine the effects of concealment.

You can push or pull creatures with this weapon. This functions as the driving special ability, save that you can also perform drag combat maneuvers in the weapon’s first range increment. In addition, when you confirm a critical hit against a target with this weapon, you may perform a bull rush, drag, or trip combat maneuver against them as a free action which can be taken outside your turn.

This weapon lashes out against nearby creatures. Whenever you deal this weapon’s damage to a target as part of an attack action, full attack, or attack of opportunity, make an additional attack at the same bonus against another creature of your choice within range.

This special ability can only be placed on melee weapons. A heartseeker weapon is drawn unerringly toward beating hearts. A heartseeker weapon ignores the miss chance for concealment against most living targets, though the attack must still target the proper square.

This functions as the energized* ability, save that you may select two energized types rather than one. Half of the weapon’s damage is of the first type and the other is of the second type. Alternatively, the creator may select only a single energized* type and have the other half deal the weapon’s normal damage type.
The cost of a hybridized weapon is one +1 bonus higher than the highest-cost energized* weapon special ability used in its effect.

Injuries made by this weapon seem worse than they actually are. Creatures damaged by this weapon take nonlethal bleed damage equal to twice the weapon’s enhancement bonus. Unlike normal bleed damage, this can only be ended if the creature succeeds at a Will save DC 15 + the weapon’s enhancement bonus. Afflicted creatures are allowed a save every time they take damage from this effect. This is a mind-affecting effect.

When an informing item is first created, its creator chooses one skill sphere. An informing item increases the chosen sphere’s save DC by an amount equal to the item’s permanent enhancement bonus (maximum +5). This increase also applies to the sphere’s associated skill ranks when determining its effects (this excludes its save DC and its check modifier). This increase only applies to the base effects and talents of that sphere.

If a sphere ability grants the ability to command subordinates or similar creatures (such as Faction sphere retainers or Tinker sphere mechanoids), this effective skill rank improvement does not increase the Hit Dice or the user's maximum number of controlled Hit Dice of creatures that can be maintained through those effects. Instead, such creatures gain a bonus to attack rolls and skill checks equal to the enhancement bonus provided by the object.

An item can gain this enhancement multiple times, choosing an additional sphere each time.

Invisible weapons can only be seen by creatures making physical contact with the weapon, or if no creature is making physical contact with the weapon. Being stowed in a worn pocket, bag, sheath or similar arrangement counts as physical contact for the purpose of this special ability. The first attack each round made with an invisible weapon denies the target their Dexterity bonus to AC. This special ability interacts with spells and sphere effects as the glamer version of Suppression when cast upon an object. Creatures with Uncanny Dodge (or similar effects) do not lose their Dex bonus to AC against a weapon with the invisible special ability.

This weapon’s ethereal presence strikes at the minds of targets rather than their bodies. This weapon deals untyped damage with its attacks but deals no damage against targets immune to mind-affecting effects. In addition, if the target possesses any bonuses to saving throws against charm, compulsion, or mind-affecting effects, any damage from this weapon is reduced by the highest of these bonuses.

A weapon with this special ability can bend its way through space, bypassing barriers between itself and its target. Attacks from this weapon bypass all cover. If the attacker cannot see the target on the other side of the cover, then the attack suffers a 50% miss chance as if the target were invisible. Only a single object that provides cover can be bypassed by a weapon with this special ability, with a thickness of no more than 2 feet (thus, while a bow with this enhancement could fire through a wall to hit a target on the other side, it could not bypass an entire house, which contains several walls).

A plane-attuned weapon, shield, armor, or implement draws its power from a specific plane and as a result grows in strength within its boundaries. When the item is created, its creator chooses a single plane other than the Material Plane. While on the chosen plane, the item’s enhancement bonus increases by +3. While on a plane adjacent to the chosen plane (in that the character can directly travel to the chosen plane without going through any other planes), the item’s enhancement bonus increases by +2. While on any other plane, the item’s enhancement bonus only increases by +1. While in the area of an effect that negates planar travel, the item’s enhancement bonus is not increased at all.

This special ability can only be placed on ranged weapons. A polarizing weapon creates electrical instabilities in the body of the target which draw your continued attacks towards them. Each time the wielder damages an opponent with the weapon, its enhancement bonus increases by +1 when making attacks against that opponent (to a maximum total enhancement bonus of +5). This extra enhancement bonus goes away if the opponent dies, the wielder uses the weapon to attack a different creature, or 1 hour passes.

A professional weapon has numerous additions or adjustments to make it functional outside of a combat context. The creator chooses a single Perform or Profession skill when creating this weapon.

Projectiles fired with this weapon fly forward with immense power, piercing multiple targets. When making an attack with a puncturing weapon, make a single attack roll and compare that result to the ACs of all creatures in a line extending out to the weapon’s maximum range. This weapon damages all targets with an AC equal to or lower than the attack roll. However, if the attack’s damage fails to penetrate any target’s hardness, damage reduction, or energy resistance, this shot is blocked and cannot damage targets that are farther away.

A radiant edge weapon projects deadly light from its edge when wielded correctly, allowing its wielder to make attacks as if their reach was 5 feet longer than normal. However, it takes specific motions and precise setup to use this effectively and so this does not increase the wielder’s threatened area, only their reach when making attacks on their own turn.

In addition, you can use a radiant edge weapon much like a torch. It sheds normal light in a 20-foot radius and increases the light level for an additional 20 feet by one step, up to normal light. You may turn this light on or off as a free action.

This special ability makes siege weapon ammunition more effective against sails and rigging, creating a burst of flame upon striking its target to ignite what it does not tear apart. This special ability may be applied to a single piece of siege weapon ammunition. Upon striking a target the ammunition releases a burst of flame, which deals 3d6 fire damage in a 15-foot burst. Any creature or object that takes damage must succeed at a DC 12 Reflex save or catch fire, taking 1d6 fire damage per round. This fire damage ignores the hardness of normal sails and rigging.

A shade-hexed weapon feeds on darkness and is more powerful when wielded inside it, but is weaker when in areas of illumination. When in areas of darkness, shade-hexed weapons gain a +1 to their enhancement bonus (maximum +5), but they suffer a -1 to their enhancement bonus when wielded in areas of bright light. In areas of dim light or normal light their enhancement bonus is unchanged. A shade-hexed weapon with an effective enhancement bonus of 0 no longer counts as a magic weapon for bypassing damage reduction, but retains its +1 bonus to hit as a masterwork weapon.

A spell stealing weapon allows its wielder to siphon protective magic from a target and transfer it to herself. When the wielder rolls a critical threat against a target, she can forgo confirming the critical hit and instead automatically learn which magical effects are active upon the target. The wielder may then attempt a magic skill check to steal her choice of one of those effects, using the spell stealing weapon’s caster level plus its enhancement bonus against the effect’s MSD. If the check succeeds, the target immediately loses the benefits of that effect and the wielder gains the effect for 1 minute (or until the effect expires, whichever comes first). If the spell stealing weapon has a critical multiplier greater than x2, the wielder may attempt to steal one additional effect per additional multiple beyond x2 (two effects for x3, and so on).

A spell storing weapon allows a caster to store a single targeted sphere effect that does not cost a spell point, or a spell of up to 3rd level, in the weapon itself. (The spell or sphere effect must have a casting time of 1 standard action.) Anytime the weapon strikes a creature and the creature takes damage from it, the weapon can immediately use the sphere effect or cast the spell on that creature as a free action if the wielder desires. (This special ability is an exception to the general rule that creating a magical effect from an item takes at least as long as creating the magical effect normally.) Once the spell or sphere effect has been cast from the weapon, a caster can cast another targeted spell or sphere effect into it that fits the criteria listed above. The weapon magically imparts to the wielder the name and nature of the spell or effect currently stored within it. A randomly rolled spell storing weapon has a 50% chance of having a magic effect stored in it already.

When confirming a critical hit with a thirsty weapon against a creature that is not immune to bleed damage, the wielder may cause the weapon to absorb a portion of the creature’s blood as a free action. The wielder may instead expend a blood point from the Reservoir feat to fill the weapon as a full-round action. This stored blood counts as having a blood point as per the Reservoir feat and may be spent per that feat. A thirsty weapon may store a number of blood points equal to its enhancement bonus. Blood points stored in the weapon last indefinitely.
