The weapon is enhanced this way for up to a number of rounds equal to the shining blade's level plus his Charisma bonus (if any), but only so long as the shining blade is holding the weapon. With each use of this ability, he can choose to make the weapon a shock weapon dealing +1d6 damage or a holy weapon dealing +2d6 points of bonus holy (good) damage against evil creatures. This supernatural ability replaces the shock blade ability and can be used twice per day. Holy Blade: At 5th level, the shining blade can bestow two magical enhancements upon his weapon.

Spells per Day: A shining blade continues the magical training he began as a divine spellcaster. These smite evil attempts are gained in addition to any gained through other classes (such as the paladin's ability of the same name). At 10th level, the shining blade can smite evil four times per day. At 7th level, the shining blade can smite evil three times per day. If the shining blade accidentally smites a creature that is not evil, the smite has no effect but it is still used up for that day.Īt 4th level, the shining blade can smite evil twice per day.
