Sword of Truth

Created long ago to destroy arcane magic uses, this intelligent +2 bane longsword became cursed, turning into the Sword of Lies, and was incarcerated in the Banewarrens. It remains dedicated to destroying arcane spellcasters, however. Should the evil curse on this blade can be removed by a 20th-level caster, it will return to its original alignment and abilities, listed here.

Blessing of Fervor (Sp): When in pursuit of its purpose (killing arcane spell casters), the Sword of Truth may cast blessing of fervor at will. Targets may only use the metamagic option of this spell on devine spells.

Bane (Ex): As a bane weapon, the Sword of Truth gains a +2 to hit (and deals an additional +2d6 damage) to arcane spell casters.

Empathy (Su): Empathy allows the item to encourage or discourage certain actions by communicating emotions and urges. It does not allow for verbal communication.

True Sight (Sp): The Sword of Truth provides both it and its wielder with true seeing continually.

Spell Resistance (Su): Grants its wielder SR 18. The weapon also gains this resistance itself.

Strongly Aligned: Non-good characters who try to wield the Sword of Truth gain a temporary negative level. This cannot be removed while character wields the weapon. If they relinquish the sword they gain an immediate save to remove the level.
