First, I had it that Elminster gave my character this sword on entering Baldur's Gate for the first time:

Andontur
This mighty blade was imbued by none other than the famed Elminster, Sage of Shadowdale, for Trau, the Bhaalspawn. While meddling in the affairs of others was customary of the Sage, giving away personally created magical equipment was not. No doubt Elminster knew of the troubles that would be brought before Trau, it is unlikely that this reason alone warranted the Sage to go through the labor of producing this mighty sword. Trau was the foster child of the now deceased Gorion, a friend of Elminster, and this probably had much to do the the special treatment of young Trau.

STATISTICS:
Combat Abilities: 25% chance to stun opponent on hit unless a save vs. spells at -4 is made
Damage: 1D10+3
THAC0: +3 bonus
Damage type: slashing
Weight: 8
Speed Factor: 4
Proficiency Type: Two Handed sword
Type: 2-handed
Requires: 14 Strength

Now, I wish to 'upgrade' it to this, having it reforged with Carsomyr:

Andontur: Wrath of the Godchild

Reforged with the Carsomyr holy avenger, the blade was made significantly more powerful. Some of the holy power of the Carsomyr was retained by master-craftsman Cromwell in the forging.

THAC0: +5 bonus

Thoughts?
