Slot none; CL 6th; Weight 1 lb.; Aura moderate transmutation

DESCRIPTION

The hilt of this +1 adamantine scimitar has a gritty texture, as if sprinkled with invisible grains of sand. In the hands of a mighty warrior this blade can cut through spell and shackle alike.

When the wielder of the scimitar of deliverance hits a target with a melee attack, as a free action she can attempt to identify any abjuration spells currently effecting the target as if she had studied it for 3 rounds using detect magic.

• 7th Level: The scimitar of deliverance acts as a +2 keen adamantine scimitar.
• 11th Level: As a full-round action, the wielder can flourish the scimitar of deliverance. All creatures within 60 feet who see the display can immediately attempt a new saving throw with a +4 morale bonus against any effect they are under that causes the confused, frightened, panicked, paralyzed, shaken, or staggered condition.
• 15th Level: The scimitar of deliverance acts as a +4 keen adamantine scimitar.
• 19th Level: Once per round when the wielder confirms a critical hit against a target with the scimitar of deliverance, the foe is targeted by a greater dispel magic spell, with a caster level equal to the wielder’s character level.

Goal: The bearer must free at least 50 creatures from captivity, slavery, or unlawful imprisonment.

Reward: As an immediate action a number of times per day equal to his character level, the wielder can use liberating command as a spell-like ability.
