Description: Enchants a weapon so that on hit, the target must make a will save. Failing the save inflicts a cumulative 5% vulnerability to magic damage and 10% vulnerability to elemental damage. This malus can be stacked up to 10 times, capping at 50%/100%. The malus duration is 6 rounds, but it is refreshed with every new application. This spell also has a target selection (it is not a personal spell only). Damage vulnerabilities can only increase once per round. Damage vulnerabilities applied by Blackstaff are affected by restoration spells and abilities. Also applies vulnerability against negative energy. Non-restricted weapon enchantment.
Notes
- Restricted weapon enchantments cannot be used with magical weapons, weapons with any property, or stacked with each other.
- Non-restricted weapon enchantments can be used freely in any weapon and stacked with one another; even on Restricted weapon enchantments.
- Players commonly seek out bronze weapons (which have no properties) to have blank weapons to be able to apply Restricted weapon enchantments first, and then cast additional Non-restricted enchantments.
- Casting a weapon enchantment on a target with an invalid main hand weapon (due to the weapon already being enchanted or possessing magical properties) will attempt to apply the weapon enchantment to the offhand.
- Additionally, the weapon enchantments Bless Weapon, Darkfire, Elemental Weapon, Greater Magic Weapon, and Keen Edge spells cast from items such as scrolls and wands will:
- Use the Caster Level of the item for the Duration of the spell.
- Use the Character Level of the item user for the Effects of the spell.
- Bless Weapon exceptions:
- Will grant +2d6 damage vs. dragons if the user of the scroll is level 18 or higher. The CL of the scroll is still level 17 and Enhancement bonus is capped at +3.
- Note: It is possible to achieve +4 enhancement with Loremaster scroll + levels (17 CL scroll + 5 levels from LM = 22 CL scroll), but still requires the base character level to be at least 21 for the effects.
- Examples - A Character of various levels using a Greater Magic Weapon Scroll (Caster Level 15)
- A level 30 Character will have a duration of 5 hours (15 Caster Level/3 hours) and an enhancement bonus of +5 ((Character Level +3)/4 - capped at +5).
- A level 15 Character will have a duration of 5 hours (15 Caster Level/3 hours) and an enhancement bonus of +4 ((Character Level +3)/4).
- A level 5 Character will have a duration of 5 hours (15 Caster Level/3 hours) and an enhancement bonus of +2 ((Character Level +3)/4)
