Spectral Weapon (Enhancement)

These eerie weapons were once very popular. Fashioned from the bones of creatures who died violently, they appear only as hilts carved of bone. When grasped by a living or undead being, a weapon of glowing white corpselight appears from the hill.
The spectral weapon is insubstantial, and passes through solid objects: consider targets to be whatever Armor Class they naturally possess (counting Dexterity bonuses and magical protection but not physical armor, unless it is magical). For example, a knight of average Dexterity in nonmagical full plate armor is AC 10 to this blade, not AC 1.
Whenever a spectral weapon hits living flesh, it affects it as a chill touch spell does (the victim must save vs. spell or suffer hf4 points of damage and loses 1 point of Strength for an hour, or if not rated for Strength, loses 1 on its attack rolls for every second successful attack of a spectral weapon).
If this sort of weapon is wielded by an undead creature, it automatically does 2d4 points of damage. (Strength loss still occurs only if the victims save fails). Undead creatures cannot be harmed in any way by this weapon.
