Blade of Atropos

The Blade of Atropos is gifted to those willing to do the work of the Fates, bringing an end to chaos-creatures and those bearing the mark of arcane corruption. Casting the spell requires a non-magical sword; if the blade is decorated with jewels and precious metals (worth no less than 1,000 gp), the caster receives a +2 bonus to his spell check. If the blade leaves the caster’s hand, the spell immediately ends. Strength modifiers (positive or negative) have no effect on the caster’s to hit roll or damage rolls while wielding the blade.
Save: Will save vs. 15+CL when appropriate (see below)

Manifestation

Roll 1d4: (1) the caster’s sword shines with righteous power, illuminating all within 60’; (2) the caster’s blade crackles with magic, as electric-blue spider webs crawl up and down the sword; (3) the caster’s blade shimmers in and out of existence, wreathed in tendrils of glowing green mist; (4) violet and purple light emanate from within the blade, shining through cracks that appear in the blade’s surface.
