[QUOTE="jaker2003, post: 3892506, member: 18667"] Ok, i've been toying with this idea for a couple of years and this is another try to get it to work. [sblock=Original Version][COLOR=Blue]WARPRIEST BLADE[/COLOR] Evocation [Force] Level: Clr 6? Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Effect: Magic weapon of force Duration: 1 minute /2 levels (D) Saving Throw: None Spell Resistance: Yes [I]As the last word echoes in your mind, your fingers curl and you feel the blade of force in your hand.[/I] A weapon made of pure force springs into existence from your hand. The weapon appears as your choice of sword (Short sword, Rapier, Scimitar, Longsword, Bastard sword, Falchion, or Greatsword) and you may wield it in the same manner as a real sword of its form, even applying appropriate feats and class features. The blade deals 1d8 points of force damage with each hit. It strikes as a weapon, not a spell, so, for example, it cannot bypass damage reduction as a spell usually can. The weapon has an enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls of +1 per four caster levels (maximum +5).
