Do be aware, however, that you will be setting a precedent, and magic items can be Sundered when their owners don't want them to be. The prerequisite spell for the holy special ability is holy smite. If I were going to allow the player's idea to work, I'd rule that the "contained spell" is released from the sword: so you'd get a 20-ft.-radius burst that deals 7d6 damage to evil outsiders and blinds them for 1 round (DC 16 Will save for half damage and no blindness). The DC to bend an iron bar is 24, but snapping a sword blade should be significantly easier than that. I'd probably set the DC at 15 for a normal blade, and add 1 for each point of enhancement bonus. So....17?</blockquote>
