When activated, a glowing translucent striking surface composed of magical force springs forth from the base of the hilt. The weapon counts as a ghost touch weapon and sheds light as a candle.  As the striking surface of the weapon has been converted into pure force, it cannot be sundered, though it is affected by a disintegrate spell normally.  For purposes of overcoming damage reduction only, the weapon is treated as the same type of material it was before this enchantment.  It can still gain weapon special abilities and weapon enhancements, except for the Brilliant Energy enchantment.+2 Enhancement bonus (+1 for ghost touch ability, and +1 for unbreakable).  I'd maybe require Mordenkainen's Sword, or Spiritual Weapon as a spell pre-requisite, but probably just leave it at +2.</blockquote>
