Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cleon" data-source="post: 6101410" data-attributes="member: 57383">I hadn't formally written it up, but I had more-or-less decided on the following:Blacklight Mace: This artifact functions as a +5 life-drinking heavy mace. It continuously radiates blacklight (supernatural darkness impenetrable to normal vision and darkvision) in a 30 foot radius. Ythog-Nthlei can always see through this blacklight normally, even if he is outside the area of darkness. Blacklight counters or dispels any light spell of equal or lower level. A daylight spell will temporarily counter this blacklight, but the darkness returns as soon as the daylight ends. Furthermore, Ythog-Nthlei (but no other wielder) can command the blacklight mace to summon a group of extraplanar undead once per day. The mace can summon any of the following, of the Dark King's choice. This is equivalent to a summon monster IX. 1 devourer? 1d4+1 bodaks? 4d6 [something ~CR5 or 6]? Overwhelming evocation/necromancy [evil]; CL 20th.?I was also toying with the idea of adding a fear power resembling a mace of terror to the above, although that is not in the original writeup.Three times per day, the blacklight mace can create a 30 ft. radius area of terror that causes creatures to become panicked as if by a fear spell (Will DC X partial). Creatures affected by this terror take a -2 morale penalty on saving throws and flee from the mace wielder as long as they are panicked.My alternative idea was to have it be able to switch between blacklight and fear, but upon reflection the latter would require fear saves every round, which doesn't seem much fun.</blockquote>
