Power (at Will): Healing Strike (Cleric 1), as a standard action.Power (Encounter): Break the Spirit (Cleric 7); as written, but minimum penalty 1 (e.g. if wielder has no charisma bonus). Power (Daily): The sword acts as a Holy Lantern (Cleric 6), which can be activated once per day (for up to 10 hours), or deactivated as a standard action. Goals of the Raven's Feather / Blade of the Sun:Encourage people to accept their fateTo punish those who try to change their fateTo kill undead (those who resist their fate)RoleplayingThe sword does not speak to its owner until the first encounter with undead. At that point it springs to life, urging its owner in bright, nonverbal images, to do battle with the undead. It is capricious, and will not tell the owner what makes it more or less satisfied. If anyone uses powers that attempt to change the owner's fate (e.g. rerolling a die roll, or rerolling an attacker's die roll against the owner), the sword becomes angry and punishes the owner (see concordance). It may also become angry at the person who resists fate, giving the owner dreams about attacking the character who altered fate.

Angered (0 or lower)The sword's enhancement bonus drops to +3Special: You take -5 penalty to attack and damage rolls against any creature other than undead. Moving on: The sword follows fate, and when fate decides it's needed elsewhere, it moves on. When the character next gains a level, the sword disappears, along with its sentience and abilities, to another world. If the sword is at least satisfied, it leaves behind a +5 magic sword (or Holy Avenger sword if character is at least level 20).</blockquote>
