Priest-slayer
This Orgoth blade is consecrated in the blood of the Ordic people and imbued with arcane power by their sacrifice. Crafted during the reign of Lord Governor Creaus in 300BR, Priest-slayer is an Orgoth-style +3 enchanted longsword with a number of useful properties. This blade conferrs Spell Resistance 35 once per day (wielder may declare the use of this ability after the spell is cast, but before any damage or saving throw is rolled). When wielded, Priest-slayer grants Spell Resistance 20 versus divine magic. This SR 20 is always on, and can only be waived (to allow beneficial divine magic to affect the wielder) by sheathing the sword.
When viewing the reflection of a spellcaster in the blade of this weapon, he will appear physically-abused. Arcanists will appear battered and beaten, divine spellcasters appear nearly-dead. This is a shadow of the intentions of the weapon’s crafter, and can be used as a none-too-subtle substitute for the Witch Hound feat that also detects priests.
Moderate abjuration and necromancy; CL 15th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, spell resistence, crafter must sacrifice no less than fifty otherwise-healthy Humans in an Orgoth ceremony no longer known in Western Immoren; Price 48,430 crowns
