Purple-Leaf (Enhancement)

These magical knives, daggers, and swords are created from the razor-sharp blades of the purple grass that grows in the Athasian wilderness. Each weapon is made from an individual blade of grass that has had one or more plant growth spells cast upon it. The type of weapon gained depends on how many castings were used in the process of enchantment: A knife takes one casting: a dagger two; a short sword three; a long sword, broad sword (the latter created by trimming off the tip a bit), or bastard sword four; and a two-handed sword five. Because of the shape of the grass blades, only straight-bladed swords may be created in this manner; no curved weapons such as khopeshes or scimitars are possible.
A purple-leaf blade does the same damage as its regular steel counterpart. It does not break in combat, but if a natural 20 is rolled upon hitting an opponent, the blade bends out of line. It takes one round of effort to straighten the blade out, after which it may be used as before. These weapons are both fireproof and rustproof. They are worth 10 XP per casting of a plant growth spell required in their creation; a knife is worth 10, a dagger 20, a short sword 30, etc.
