Pricing of Specific Weapon from the Pathfinder Core Rulebook

[Nipenthis]

I want to create an item that has one of the abilities of the "Sunblade". I want it to be able to be wielded as a smaller weapon (one size category smaller), like the Sunblade can be wielded as a Short Sword although it is a Bastard Sword.

How do I know how much this ability will increase the weapon's market price? Will it count as a fixed amount of extra gold pieces or as an enhancement bonus?

Assuming you're posting this in the PFS forum looking for an official answer in organized play: You can't have it. This is a specific crafting issue and well outside the rules for Society play.

On a more general note, the Sunblade is a unique weapon. This means its' abilities and form-factor aren't separated out. There is no RAW way to get another weapon that duplicates the spcific magic of the blade. If you want to do this, you're on your own.

I moved this thread to the Pathfinder RPG Rules forum, so that the OP can perhaps gets some advice on how to handle this in a home game. However, the above poster is correct about organized play.
