Elven Dagger (Magic Dagger)

This weapon, created for elven warrior commanders, is fashioned of a mithril silver and steel alloy. It possesses the ability to detect giant-class creatures at a range of 200 feet outdoors, 100 feet indoors or underground. The blade of the dagger glows a faint white-blue when such a creature is at the extreme range of its detection ability. The glow intensifies as the giant-class creature gets closer, until the blade is shining with the equivalent of a light spell.
This dagger is +3 to attack and to damage giant-class creatures only. When attacking other creatures, it is considered to be a +1 magical weapon, but it strikes and wounds as a normal dagger. If desired, the elven dagger can be commanded to dim its light or to withhold its radiance when stealth and concealment are important. The blade glows only when giant-class creatures are near, not by any command. Any giant-class creature that holds or touches the weapon receives 1d4 points of damage per round of contact.
