No moisture on the outside, so its dryness risks clinging to any exposed flesh if held too long. This blade wasn't crafted by any smith, but rather by magic. The faint frost rolling off it suggests that it may once have functioned as more than a dagger (i.e. inflicted cold damage), but no longer.Your immediate association is the ice knife spell. However, the ice knife created by that spell explodes as part of the casting, so there'd be no traces left save for bits of frost and ice.You've heard of long-lasting ice being created through strong conjurations to keep perishables fresh for long caravans, but most magic of this sort has limitations. For example, a continual flame creates a permanent flame but emits no heat. Either this ice dagger was made with a powerful spell (6th+ level), some kind of unique innate magic, or a bestowed gift of a deity of the cold.[/GM]</blockquote>
