Making each type of power selectable at dawn would help balance out the power, so they don't just flip/flop around to get all the abilities they can out of the thing.I would maybe go with something like:Each morning at dawn you select the aspect of the sword that will be dominant that day.Protection: User gains the clerical Protection Domain, and gains the ability to cast spells from the Protection Domain as if he were a cleric equal to his total level. He can only cast 1 domain spell of each level per day.(So a 11th level wielder could cast each of the 1st - 6th level Protection Domain spells once a day).Justice: User gains the clerical Exorcism Domain(Eberron CS), and gains the ability to cast spells from the Wrath Domain as if he were a cleric equal to his total level. He can only cast 1 domain spell of each level per day.(So a 11th level wielder could cast each of the 1st - 6th level Exorcism Domain spells once a day).Vengeance: User gains the clerical Wrath Domain(BoED), and gains the ability to cast spells from the Wrath Domain as if he were a cleric equal to his total level. He can only cast 1 domain spell of each level per day.(So a 11th level wielder could cast each of the 1st - 6th level Wrath Domain spells once a day).Strength and Renewal:User gains the clerical Strength or Healing Domain, and gains the ability to cast spells from the selected Domain as if he were a cleric equal to his total level. He can only cast 1 domain spell of each level per day.(So a 11th level wielder could cast each of the 1st - 6th level Strength or Healing Domain spells once a day).That gets all the basic spells you wanted covered, plus a domain ability.  You could ever do that each spell level can be cast once per encounter if you want(or 1st-3rd spells can be used once per encounter), but that might be a bit much.  Also, this way the spells they can access scale with their level. (Domain list and description of each <a href="http://www.crystalkeep.com/d20/index.php" target="_blank">available here</a> under Cleric Domains.Just presenting an alternate idea to spin the wheels of creativity.  You could tie a type of minor quest to unlock each domain so its not too overwhelming at first.(The wielder has to prove themselves to the aspect controlling each domain).  Also you mention that it housed a devil at one point, you could add something like maybe on a new moon they instead have access the Decay, Destruction, Hatred, or Madness domain (instead of the normal ones).heck, I might just have to put something like this in my campaign. Hmmmmmm.</blockquote>
