[QUOTE="Cloudgatherer, post: 17815, member: 66"] This what you are thinking of? Shadow Blade: This sword is the size of a bastard sword. However, its enchantment enables the shadow blade to be wielded as if it were a short sword with respect to weight and ease of use. (In other words, the weapon appears to all viewers to be a bastard sword, and deals bastard sword damage, but the wielder feels and reacts as if the weapon were a short sword.) Any individual able to use either a bastard sword or a short sword with proficiency is proficient in the use of a sun blade. Likewise, Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization in short sword and bastard sword apply equally. In normal combat, the dark shadowy blade of the weapon is equal to a +2 bastard sword. Against good creatures, its enhancement bonus is +4. Against Positive Energy Plane creatures or good outsiders, the sword deals double damage (and x3 on a critical hit instead of the usual x2). Furthermore, the blade has a special darkness power. Once a day, the wielder can swing the blade vigorously above her head while speaking a command word. The shadow blade then creates a dark sphere centered on the blade. The darkness begins emitting in a 10-foot radius around the sword wielder and spreads outward at 5 feet per round for 10 rounds thereafter, to create a globe of darkness with a 60-foot radius. When the wielder stops swinging, the darkness recedes to a faint shadow that persists for another minute before disappearing entirely. All shadow blades are of evil alignment, and any good creature attempting to wield one gains one negative level. The negative level remains as long as the sword is in hand and disappears when the sword is no longer wielded. This negative level never results in actual level loss, but it cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells) while the sword is wielded. Caster Level: 10th; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, darkness, creator must be evil; Market Price: 50,335 gp; Cost to Create: 25,335 gp + 2,000 XP. [/QUOTE]
