So I was wondering if Flame Blade and Gozreh's Trident are considered light weapons for the purpose of weapon finesse. They are welded as a weapon, but you do not add your strength to damage, and are touch attacks. So I think that it would, but just wanted a second opinion.
Flame Blade = Scimitar
Gozreh's Trident = Trident
Both are 1-handed martial weapons.
You might stretch that Flame Blade works with Dervish Dance, though, since it's treated as a scimitar.

"When wielding a scimitar with one hand, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on melee attack and damage rolls."
It would still allow him to use Dex for his attack roll...
Of course, it's an expensive way to gain that. :P
Hmm yeah, but they are energy weapons that are not physical in nature. And while it is wielded like a scimitar or trident they do not deal damage like them, they seem to have only an natural 20 crit range with a x2 modifier, since they are technically spells that deal damage.
Unfortunately, the spells specifically state what weapons they are wielded like. Neither of those weapons are Light, and therefore don't automatically qualify for Weapon Finesse.
Sorry. :(
Guess it's something that I can house rule if nothing else, but thank you for the clarification with the RAW at least.
