I and one of my players have arrived at conflicting conclusions about Radiance's stats based on different readings of its entry.
Mine is that these are the total stats
This +2 cold iron longsword becomes a +5 holy cold iron longsword in the hands of a paladin.
When wielded by a paladin, this sacred weapon provides spell resistance of 5 + the paladin's class level to the wielder and anyone adjacent to her. It also enables the paladin to use greater dispel magic (once per round as a standard action) at the class level of the paladin. Only the area dispel is possible, not the targeted dispel or counterspell versions of greater dispel magic.
That's the total of what it gets at first.
One of the players is reading the word holy in the title to indicate the holy weapon quality.

DESCRIPTION
A holy weapon is imbued with holy power. This power makes the weapon good-aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against all creatures of evil alignment. It bestows one permanent negative level on any evil creature attempting to wield it. The negative level remains as long as the weapon is in hand and disappears when the weapon is no longer wielded. This negative level cannot be overcome in any way (including by restoration spells) while the weapon is wielded.
Which would make it the equivalent of a +7 weapon bypassing dr/epic already and giving it more abilities.
Which is these is the correct reading?
