Interesting idea dude

Can i show you mine?

Katana +4, Merveilles
The katana is a single-edged, slightly curved sword that ends with a chisel point. The katana is perhaps one of the finest swords ever made, the steps to its creation a long and secret process, that is more art form than anything else. This blade is an important facet of Kara-Tur culture. To touch or wield a samurai's katana is to insult the samurai and to incite his wrath. For a gaijin, or foreigner, to own such a blade is a rare occurrence. Either the gaijin is a greatly honored friend of an important minister, or the gaijin has murdered a samurai.
This blade was specifically created to combat the powers of magic users and clerics, it served it's owner well until she encountered a party of Talosian Clerics who had been tracking her movements and activities for months. Before she could close for combat, several dozen lightning strikes blasted her of the face of Faerun. Her blade was apparently unaffected by the blasts and was recovered along with it's companion "L'arCenciel" by the Clerics. How it left their possesion is a mystery.
"Merveilles" has been heavily enchanted and is particularly devastating against magic users and clerics.
