I have a friend who wants to build a character that has the ability to shot energy waves out of his sword when he swings it(Yes I know very cheesy). Well, he wants to know if there is a feat or enchantment that can allow you to do that. He wants to stay away from home-brewing something. I told him from what I know, there is nothing that allows you to do that. I told him that I am not too sure, so I figured I would ask and see if there is anything that I might have missed. Does anyone got anything?

To me, this sounds mostly like a Warlock-thing. It seems like you can actually throw Eldritch blasts even when holding things ("When a warlock casts eldritch blast he creates and fires from his hands or implement a purple bolt of crackling arcane energy over a range of up to fifty feet." http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Eldritch_blast )
However, Warlocks don't normally have access to swords so either he'd have to play an elf or multiclass.
Oh, and while Eldritch blasts aren't really "waves" in their normal form, I think some of the Invocations might help with this.

Actually, a character in my campaign presented me with this exact request, and I had him do the research on trying to build one. This is what he came up with, and I signed off on:

For cost breakdown:
1st level spell, 1st level caster, command word, 3/day use.
1800 divided by 5/3 = 1080gp for a 3 times a day Windscar effect.

A Battle-Sorcerer*/Spellsword, perhaps?

Is there a spell that acts like Blood Wind for manufactured weapons? (Note the link points out the Savage Species version, the Spell Compendium version is better)
Or would that just be called "Throwing the weapon"?
With that said, how about a weapon with the Returning property? I know it was also made into a spell. What that will do is allow the player to throw the weapon, hit the enemy, and have it return to his hand. If you wanted to refluff that affect to be a blast of damage with the weapon remaining in the hand, it wouldn't change the mechanics any.
