Descriptions

Adaptive ( 1,000 )
Aura faint transmutation ; CL 1st
DESCRIPTION
"This ability can only be placed on composite bows. An adaptive bow responds to the strength of its wielder, acting as a bow with a strength rating equal to its wielder's Strength bonus. The wielder can fire it with a lesser Strength bonus (and cause less damage) if desired."

Allying ( 1+ Bonus )
Aura faint transmutation ; CL 5th
DESCRIPTION
An allying weapon allows the wielder to transfer some or all of the weapon's enhancement bonus to one weapon being used by an ally of the wielder. The wielder must have line of sight to the intended ally. As a free action, at the start of her turn before using her weapon, the wielder chooses how to allocate her weapon's enhancement bonus. The bonus to the ally's weapon lasts until the allying weapon's wielder's next turn. The enhancement bonus from the allying weapon does not stack with the enhancement bonus on the ally's weapon (if any).
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, magic weapon Cost 1+ Bonus
Anarchic ( 2+ bonus )
Aura Moderate evocation ; CL 7th
DESCRIPTION
An anarchic weapon is infused with the power of chaos. It makes the weapon chaotically aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against all creatures of lawful alignment. It bestows one permanent negative level on any lawful 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 restoration spells) while the weapon is wielded.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, chaos hammer, creator must be chaotic Cost 2+ bonus
Anchoring ( 2+ Bonus )
Aura moderate transmutation ; CL 10th
DESCRIPTION
This special ability can only be added to a melee weapon or a thrown weapon. An anchoring weapon pins a target in place and prevents it from moving. As a swift action, the weapon can be fixed in place in a point in space, functioning as an immovable rod. This ability can also be used when the wielder hits a creature with a melee attack using an anchoring weapon. This anchors the target to the weapon, preventing it from moving away from the weapon. The target is not entangled or paralyzed; it simply cannot move from its location without first destroying the weapon or making a successful DC 30 Strength check as a full-round action to move with the weapon up to 10 feet. An anchoring weapon remains motionless and cannot be used to attack while it is anchoring a creature. An anchoring weapon has no effect on amorphous creatures, including elementals, oozes, and creatures in gaseous or liquid form. It also cannot anchor incorporeal creatures unless the weapon also has the ghost touch special ability.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, levitate Cost 2+ Bonus
Axiomatic ( 2+ bonus )
Aura Moderate evocation ; CL 7th
DESCRIPTION
An axiomatic weapon is infused with lawful power. It makes the weapon law-aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against chaotic creatures. It bestows one permanent negative level on any chaotic 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 restoration spells) while the weapon is wielded.

Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, order's wrath, creator must be lawful Cost 2+ bonus
Bane ( 1+ bonus )
Aura Moderate conjuration ; CL 8th
DESCRIPTION
A bane weapon excels against certain foes. Against a designated foe, the weapon's enhancement bonus is +2 better than its actual bonus. It also deals an extra 2d6 points of damage against such foes. To randomly determine a weapon's designated foe, roll on the following table.
d% Designated Foe
01—05 Aberrations
06—09 Animals
10—16 Constructs

CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, summon monster I Cost 1+ bonus
Brilliant Energy ( 4+ bonus )
Aura Strong transmutation ; CL 16th
DESCRIPTION
A brilliant energy weapon has its significant portion transformed into light, although this does not modify the item's weight. It always gives off light as a torch (20-foot radius). A brilliant energy weapon ignores nonliving matter. Armor and shield bonuses to AC (including any enhancement bonuses to that armor) do not count against it because the weapon passes through armor. (Dexterity, deflection, dodge, natural armor, and other such bonuses still apply.) A brilliant energy weapon cannot harm undead, constructs, and objects. This property can only be applied to melee weapons, thrown weapons, and ammunition.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, gaseous form, continual flame Cost 4+ bonus
Called ( 1+ bonus )
Aura Moderation conjuration ; CL 9th
DESCRIPTION
A called weapon can be teleported to the wielder's hand as a swift action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if the weapon is in the possession of another creature. This ability has a maximum range of 100 feet, and effects that block teleportation prevents the return of a called weapon. A called weapon must be in a creature's position for at least 24 hours for this ability to function.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor. teleport Cost 1+ bonus
Conductive ( 1+ bonus )
Aura Moderate necromancy ; CL 8th
DESCRIPTION
A conductive weapon is able to channel the energy of a spell-like or supernatural ability that relies on a melee or ranged touch attack to hit its target (such as from a cleric's domain granted power, sorcerer's bloodline power, oracle's mystery revelation, or wizard's arcane school power). When the wielder makes a successful attack of the appropriate type, he may choose to expend two uses of his magical ability to channel it through the weapon to the struck opponent, who takes the effects of the weapon attack and the special ability. (If the wielder has unlimited uses of a special ability, he may channel through the weapon every round.) For example, a paladin who strikes an undead opponent with her conductive greatsword can expend two uses of lay on hands ability (a supernatural melee touch attack) to deal greatsword damage and damage from one use of her lay on hands. This weapon property can only be used once per round, and only works with magical abilities of the same type as the weapon (melee or ranged).
CONSTRUCTION

Corrosive ( 1+ bonus )
Aura Moderate evocation ; CL 10th
DESCRIPTION
Upon command, a corrosive weapon becomes slick with acid that deals an extra 1d6 points of acid damage on a successful hit. The acid does not harm the wielder. The effect remains until another command is given.

Corrosive Burst ( 2+ bonus )

In addition to the extra acid damage from the corrosive ability, a corrosive burst weapon deals an extra 1d10 points of acid damage on a successful critical hit. If the weapon's critical modifier is ×3, add an extra 2d10 points of acid damage instead, and if the modifier is ×4, add an extra 3d10 points. Even if the corrosive ability is not active, the weapon still deals its extra acid damage on a successful critical hit.
CONSTRUCTION

Countering ( 1+ Bonus )
Aura faint transmutation ; CL 5th
DESCRIPTION
A countering weapon gives its wielder a +2 bonus to his combat maneuver defense against combat maneuvers made to disarm or sunder this weapon. If the attempt fails, the wielder can immediately attempt the same maneuver against the opponent without provoking attacks of opportunity. The wielder never risks dropping his weapon with a failed disarm combat maneuver when counterattacking in this manner. This ability can be used even if the attacker is not within the wielder's reach. Countering can only be placed on melee weapons.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Combat Reflexes, Craft Magic Arms and Armor, cat's grace Cost 1+ Bonus
Cunning ( 1+ bonus )
Aura Moderate divination ; CL 6th
DESCRIPTION
This special ability allows a weapon to find chinks in a foe's defenses using the wielder's knowledge of the target. Whenever the weapon's attack is a critical threat, the wielder gains a +2 bonus on the confirmation roll if she has 5 or more ranks in the Knowledge skill related to the target's creature type (such as Knowledge [planes] for an outsider opponent).
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, true strike Cost 1+ bonus
Dispelling ( 1+ Bonus )
Aura strong abjuration ; CL 10th
DESCRIPTION
A dispelling weapon functions like a spell storing weapon, but it may only store dispel magic; however, the caster level check to dispel gains an additional bonus equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus. This bonus also applies to a magus's dispelling strike arcana or a barbarian's spell sunder or sunder enchantment combat maneuver check.
CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, dispel magic, creator must be a caster of at least 10th level Cost 1+ Bonus
Dispelling Burst ( 2+ Bonus )
Aura strong abjuration ; CL 12th
DESCRIPTION
"A dispelling burst weapon functions like a dispelling weapon but may store dispel magic or greater dispel magic. In addition, these spells can be discharged as a free action when the wielder of a dispelling burst weapon confirms a critical hit. When the wielder does so, the bonus to the check made to dispel (including from dispelling strike, spell sunder, or sunder enchantment) increases by an amount equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus or the weapon's critical multiplier (whichever is higher). If a dispelling burst weapon confirms a critical hit while it is not currently storing a dispel magic or greater dispel magic spell, yet if the wielder has either spell prepared (or is a spontaneous caster able to cast either spell), she may cast either spell into the weapon as a swift action and then immediately discharge it into the target as a free action."

If the weapon's critical multiplier is ×3, add an extra 2d10 points of fire damage instead, and if the multiplier is ×4, add an extra 3d10 points of fire damage.

An incorporeal creature's 50% reduction in damage from corporeal sources does not apply to attacks made against it with ghost touch weapons. The weapon can be picked up and moved by an incorporeal creature at any time. A manifesting ghost can wield the weapon against corporeal foes. Essentially, a ghost touch weapon counts as both corporeal or incorporeal.
CONSTRUCTION

Glorious ( 2+ Bonus )
Aura moderate evocation ; CL 5th
DESCRIPTION
A glorious weapon glows with a dazzling light equal to a daylight spell when drawn.

A glorious weapon flashes with light, and any creature the wielder attacks in melee is automatically dazzled until the beginning of the wielder's next turn. When a glorious weapon confirms a critical hit, the target is blinded until the beginning of the wielder's next turn (DC 14 Will negates); if the weapon's critical multiplier is greater than x2, this blindness lasts 1 additional round per multiple over x2. Only a melee weapon can have the glorious ability.

DESCRIPTION
This special ability can only be placed on melee weapons. After an attack with this weapon drops a living foe (kills it or drops it to negative hit points), the weapon infuses its wielder with vigor. If its wielder is fatigued, the weapon removes the fatigue. If exhausted, the wielder becomes fatigued instead. If neither exhausted nor fatigued, the wielder gains a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls and a +10 foot enhancement bonus to all modes of movement possessed until the end of the wielder's next turn.

This ability doubles the threat range of a weapon. Only piercing or slashing melee weapons can be keen. If you roll this property randomly for an inappropriate weapon, reroll.

Lifesurge ( 2+ Bonus )
Aura moderate conjuration ; CL 8th
DESCRIPTION
"This special ability can only be placed on melee weapons. A lifesurge weapon boosts and sustains the wielder's life energy while he is in the throes of combat. The wielder gains a bonus on saving throws against necromantic effects—including the ability damage, ability drain, and energy drain powers of the undead—equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus. In addition, whenever the wielder receives temporary hit points from any source, he adds the weapon's enhancement bonus to these temporary hit points; this does not stack for temporary hit points from multiple sources, and these points are lost if the lifesurge weapon is not being wielded. In combat, the weapon's critical threat range is doubled against undead; this does not stack with the keen special ability or Improved Critical. Whenever a lifesurge weapon confirms a critical hit against an undead creature, it erupts with 1d8 points of positive energy (2d8 for weapons with a critical multiplier of x3, 3d8 if it is x4); the wielder may choose to deal this as damage to an undead target or to absorb half this amount as healing, with the remaining positive energy dissipating."

Only ranged weapons can have the seeking ability. The weapon veers toward its target, negating any miss chances that would otherwise apply, such as from concealment.

CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, haste Cost 3+ bonus
Stalking ( 2+ Bonus )
Aura moderate divination ; CL 10th
DESCRIPTION
"The longer the wielder of a stalking weapon studies a target, the more effective her strike. As a standard action, a character wielding a stalking weapon can command it to study a creature within 60 feet. The wielder must have line of effect and line of sight to that target. When the wielder attacks the studied creature, on a successful hit the stalking weapon deals +1d6 points of bonus damage per consecutive round spent studying a target, up to a number of bonus dice equal to the stalking weapon's enhancement bonus. This bonus damage is precision damage and only applies to the first successful hit against that creature. If the wielder attacks a creature other than the studied creature, commands the weapon to study a different creature, or ends her turn more than 60 feet from the studied creature, the weapon loses all bonus damage dice against the previously studied creature."
