Six Baneblades of Demron

Description and Lore

The Baneblades of Demron were six powerful magic swords forged for the defenders of Fylath Shaeras. The archmage Demron was credited with their creation over some three centuries, but they were cooperative efforts among all the races that dwelled in the ancient city.

Properties

Each was designed for a member of a particular race or profession, and their magic ceased to function for anyone else, leaving only a nonmagical weapon of otherwise fine quality. They were imbued with holy energy and were particularly effective against evil outsiders and undead, and glowed with the light of a torch on command. Each of the blades are +4 Holy Evil Outsider and Undead Bane swords that can glow as a torch as a standard action

Faervian

The longsword appeared to have been forged from a single, solid piece of burnished steel, and its craftsmanship was clearly elven in nature, in contrast to the other baneblades. The hilt of the sword was longer than normal and gently twisted, creating a good gripping surface. It had no quillons (meaning there was no cross guard). Its distinctive feature was a large spherical "eye" that was placed at the top of the hilt (between the blade and the hilt). The carved eye's pupil always faced outward, as if looking at its target, creating an eerie effect for its foes.
Aura Overwhelming Evocation (good) CL 20th
The Blade Faervian can only be wielded by an human or elven arcane spellcaster who is good aligned.

• Armathor Armor Rest - The wielder could briefly step "out" of their armor as a swift action, leaving the armor and sword itself floating in air and engulfed with purple flames, thereby allowing an arcane caster to cast any spells without suffering the effects of armor hindrance. At the end of the character's turn the armor instantly forms back onto them.
• Purple Pyre - Once per day, the wielder of the blade can throw the blade up to 50ft away, where it then explodes into purple flames in an area of 30ft before flying back. Creatures wielding metal weapons who are hit by these flames take damage as if they were hit by the blade and must make a DC 24 Reflex Saving throw or have their weapons pulled from their hands and disarmed.
• Spell Slash - The caster could, three times per day, cast a touch-range spell and store it within the blade for up to 6 hours. Once the wielder hit a target with the sword, the stored spell would be unleashed on the victim.
