Magic Weapon---->Magic Item?

[Egres]

Suppose a Wiz casts Magic Weapon on a non-magical sword.

He leaves the sword unattended, and after some minutes a Sor casts a Fireball in the sowrd's area.

Does the sword get a saving throw due to its temporary magical quality?

From the SRD:

magic weapons (any weapon with a +1 or higher enhancement bonus, not counting the enhancement from masterwork quality)

Sure... it's got a +1 enhancement bonus...

Ok.

Another question:what do you think would happen with a targeted dispel magic?

From the SRD:

Targeted Dispel: One object, creature, or spell is the target of the dispel magic spell. You make a dispel check (1d20 + your caster level, maximum +10) against the spell or against each ongoing spell currently in effect on the object or creature. The DC for this dispel check is 11 + the spell’s caster level. If you succeed on a particular check, that spell is dispelled; if you fail, that spell remains in effect.
If you target an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a monster summoned by monster summoning), you make a dispel check to end the spell that conjured the object or creature.
If the object that you target is a magic item, you make a dispel check against the item’s caster level. If you succeed, all the item’s magical properties are suppressed for 1d4 rounds, after which the item recovers on its own. A suppressed item becomes nonmagical for the duration of the effect. An interdimensional interface (such as a bag of holding) is temporarily closed. A magic item’s physical properties are unchanged: A suppressed magic sword is still a sword (a masterwork sword, in fact


Do you think you can make a double dispel check (one to dispel the ongoing Magic Weapon spell, and, in case of first check failure, another check in order to suppress the magical's item properties)?

I'd rule no.

By targeted-dispelling the item, you are attacking the magic that is making it a magic item. In the case of a permanently magic item, that magic is bound into the blade, etc., and resists being dispelled. In such a case, the best you can do is supress it for a number of rounds.

Since the item is not permanently magic, the spells are less tightly bound to the material. A targeted dispel, in this case, would actually attempt to dispel the ongoing Magic Weapon spell.

I'd say "If you like".

If the second check succeeds, then it becomes a non-magical sword...

... affected by an ongoing Magic Weapon spell that gives it a +1 enhancement bonus, thus making it effectively magical.
