Aura strong evocation; CL 12th
Slot none; Price 32,310 gp; Weight 2 lbs.
Description
An unnaturally cold, razor thin blade of magically hardened ice juts from the pommel of this +2 frost and keen short sword. On a successful critical hit, an ice shard breaks off into the wound inflicting numbing cold. The victim gains the staggered condition and receives 2 points of cold damage per round for the next five rounds before the shard melts. The shard can be removed with a DC 15 Heal check or the application of 2 points of fire damage. A fresh blade reforms from the pommel a round later from the ambient moisture in the air, however the wielder can reform the blade as a swift action by thrusting the hilt into a container of water or swiping it crossed a spill on the floor. Lastly, while wielding the blade of the ice stalker the wielder’s eyes acquire a striking blue gleam and gain the ability to see heat emitted by living creatures. This functions as darkvision to a range of 30 feet, but only for purposes of seeing warm creatures or surfaces.
