Dazzling blade makes targeted weapons appear dazzlingly shiny, as if crafted from pure silver and heavily polished. In combat, the flashing movements of a dazzling blade become almost hypnotic. The wielder of a weapon under the effects of dazzling blade gains a +1 Competence Bonus on all Bluff checks made to Feint in combat. The wielder also gains a +1 Competence Bonus on all CMB checks made to Disarm a foe, and a +1 Competence Bonus to his CMD against Disarm attempts made against the weapon bearing the dazzling blade effect. This bonus increases by +1 for every 3 Caster Levels, to a maximum bonus of +5 at 12th level.

The wielder of a dazzling blade can discharge the effect on the weapon into a blinding burst of silvery light as a Free Action. The wielder selects an adjacent opponent as the focal point of this burst of light-that creature must make a Will Save to avoid being Blinded for 1 round (with a successful save, the creature is instead Dazzled for 1 round).

Despite its shiny appearance, a dazzling blade grants no extra benefit against creatures that are vulnerable to silver.
