While fighting in the Storm Blade Style, the stormblade may sacrifice a prepared spell or spell slot to add the shocking weapon enchantment to both of their weapons.  This ability lasts as many rounds as the stormblade's BAB plus the level of the spell.Blossom of Light (Su): At 4th level, the stormblade's lightning blade ability improves to become the blossom of light. When a spell or spell slot is sacrificed, each of the stormblade's weapons gain the shocking blast weapon enchantment rather than the shocking weapon enchantment.This wording is cleaner, and I have reduced the duration of the ability.  Take the Arcane Strike feat from Complete Warrior which gives +1 to hit and +1d4 damage per level of the spell to one weapon for one round.  This ability gives +1d6 damage to both weapons for multiple rounds, but I think that one minute per spell level was to much.  A first level spell would have given a potential +20d6, only counting one hit per weapon per round, where as a 1st level spell with arcane strike potentially gives +4d4 with four attacks in one round.  The Arcane Strike attacks would be at a much lower attack bonus because they would be iterative attacks, whereas the Lightning Blades attacks would be near or at full attack.20d6 or 4d4 which would you pick?My mechanic still allows for a fairly long duration at higher levels.  With rounds equal to BAB + spell level.  I think this scaling is better than a flat out minute per spell level.~hfedit:  I think that adding the "While fighting in the Storm Blade Style..."  to each of the entries would streamline the text a good deal.</blockquote>
