Notes

• Not restricted.
• When bless weapon is cast on crossbow bolts, it adds a temporary blessed bolt item property (also known as "on-hit: slay rakshasa"), which will instantly kill any rakshasa hit by the bolts.
• Properly effects vampire player characters.
• Stacking:

• An existing attack bonus (temporary or permanent) will be replaced by the attack bonus component from this spell if it is greater.
• An existing damage bonus will be replaced by the damage bonus component from this spell if it is both matching and greater, there are noted exception above.

• 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.
