Arilyn's moonblade

Arilyn's moonblade is the hereditary moonblade wielded by Arilyn Moonblade, having been passed to her by her mother, Lady Amnestria of Evermeet.
The sword and its hilt appear antique. After Amnestria left Evermeet, the moonstone in the hilt was removed and replaced by a modernly cut topaz stone. This is how Arilyn has carried it for many decades. There was Runic writing on the sword, as well as wards to protect the runes against translation spells. All in all, there were nine runes on the sword, each one indicating an ability of the sword that the wielder had given it.
Like other moonblades, Arilyn's moonblade burns anyone who attempts to touch the sword, and potentially kills anyone who attempts to wield the blade. However Arilyn has since placed a rune on the sword that removes this restriction so that others can touch the sword if needed. The sword would not shed innocent blood.
The sword was wielded by eight of Arilyn's ancestors, each of whom have left with it a special power, as indicated by a rune. The moonstone in the hilt enables each successive wielder to grant a power to the sword over a period of time. The ninth rune that Arilyn placed granted removal of the restriction that prevented people from touching the blade and getting burned; it is implied she did this for Danilo Thann, who had been burned when he carried the sword to her.
The different powers are;

• Rapid strike (the sword can strike abnormally fast)
• Immunity to fire
• Warning glow (glowing blue when danger approached)
• Silent warning (humming with silent energy when danger was near)
• Dreamwarning (waking the wielder with a dream when danger approached)
• Illusion (projecting illusions to disguise the wielder)
• Elfgate (controlling a portal between The Prime and Evermeet)
• Elfshadow (calling forth the shadow of the wielder; the shadow can fight and kill)
