Evocation
Level: Armory 4, Moon 3
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: 0 ft.
Effect: A swordlike beam
Duration: 1 minute/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes


A 3-foot-long blazing beam of moonlight springs forth from your hand.

You call a swordlike beam of moonlight into your hand. Anyone who can cast moon blade can wield the blade with proficiency. However, if you are proficient with any type of sword, you can wield the beam as if it were any type of sword and thus gain the benefits of any special sword skills you may have, such as Weapon Focus.

Attacks with a moon blade are melee touch attacks. Its strike saps vitality or life force, causing no visible wounds but dealing 1d8 points of damage + 1 point per two caster levels (to a maximum of +10) to any type of creature against undead. Undead are visibly wounded by a moon blade. Their substance boils away from its touch, and they take 2d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (to a maximum of +20) per blow. The blade is immaterial, and your Strength modifier does not apply to the damage.

A successful moon blade strike temporarily scrambles magic. On the target's next turn after a hit from a moon blade, the creature must make a Concentration check to use any spell or spell-like ability. The DC is equal to 10 + damage dealt + spell level. (An opponent hit by a moon blade while casting a spell must make the usual Concentration check to avoid losing the spell in addition to the check on its next turn.)

Arcane Material Component: A small candy made with wintergreen oil.
