Flame of the North (Magic Sword)

If any being of an alignment other than chaotic good touches the sword, it seems to spit blue fire and the being takes 3d4 points of electrical damage. After its initial contact damage, the sword does no more harm to nonchaotic good beings, but in their hands, it is +3 on all attack and damage rolls.
Flame of the North is a steel two-handed sword +2, with an additional +2 against all creatures of chaotic evil alignment. Its blade is treated to be Everbright: it cannot rust, tarnish, or be stained or harmed by acid, blood, flames, or other substances.
Whenever any spell is cast on someone holding the drawn blade, there is a 10% chance that the spell is reflected back on its source. This effect can happen regardless of the will of the sword wielder. All electrical attacks and magic missiles cast at the sword-wielder are absorbed harmlessly by the sword, and used to recharge its powers.
In the hands of a chaotic good being, the sword blazes constantly with blue-white flames while drawn. The flames give light equal to a faerie fire, but the wielder does not incur the standard com bat disadvantages of that spell. The flames cannot be quelled except by breaking the blade. They are illusory, and cannot heat or ignite anything. Whenever the flame is drawn by a chaotic good being, and any chaotic evil creature comes within 20' of the sword, the sword-wielder hears an inner voice, endlessly chanting, “Strike! Strike! Strike!” This effect occurs regardless of any magical defenses that cloak or confuse the reading of tree alignment: the sword infallibly detects the presence of chaotic evil beings within its range. The sword has no intelligence, ego, or coercive powers beyond its verbal imploring.
