[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 5815063, member: 11586"] I created my own thread for this question before I realized this one existed. So, lets say the Magus is level 5, and he decides to expends 2 points. He gives his weapon a +1 Enhancement bonus and the Flaming Property. Lets look at the Flaming property: The sword now has the flaming property, and the flaming propery states that the weapon becomes sheathed in flames upon activation of a command word. Does this means that the weapon is NOT automatically sheathed in flames upon expenditure of the arcane pool points? That the weapon simply has the property, and the Magus must still activate it (per the property rules on flaming)? So a swift action to give it the property, and a Standard Action to sheath it in flames? If this interpretation IS correct, then you also have to follow the rules of activating an item by command word. Meaning, the Magus needs to speak the command word, but there is no rule that states he gets to make up what the command word is. Under the Command Word rules for item activation, it suggest you can make a Knowledge Arcana check or cast Detect Magic to determine what the command word is. So does the Magus need to go through all these extra steps in order to use a magic property he throws into his weapon per his class feature? What is the RAW on this? [/QUOTE]
