Maharet: The Dark Gift

[Memnoch]

Here's another one:

Dark Gift:Maharet
This massive sword radiates foul evil and will burn the flesh of any of pure heart who try to wield it. It is an powerful artifact from the shadowy demiplane of Ravenloft.

Dark legends abound that the blade is imbued with the essence of the ancient vampire Maharet, the Dark Giver and Fount from which all vampires are said to have sprung from. Maharet was destroyed in an epic battle with the Lord of Ravenloft, Count Strahd von Zarovich. Rumor has it that Strahd made a pact with Asmodeus, the Grand Duke of the Nine Hells, to capture Maharet's vile essence in this weapon. Occasionally a burst of flame will erupt from the blade, the mark of Asmodeus on the sword.

Maharet is a vampiric blade which drains the life and strength from opponents and adds them to that of the wielder. The blade constantly drips with fresh blood - no amount of cleaning will remove this.

Fixed damage modifier, i can't remember what the opcode is. check the Flame Tongue, it will give you the opcode.

use the fixed/randon damage option. code is:- 00 00 08 00 is FIRE and 00 00 00 02 is MAGICFIRE .

For you Jerome, no problem Just let me know what specs you want and it's done. Try to follow the format I used above with the item effects etc. I'm already making some stuff for the Holy Flame so no worries.
