Shock Blade (Magic Sword)

There are perhaps a score or more of these magical weapons throughout the Realms. While of many different sizes, the swords are often identified by the large opals fitted to their hilts.
A shock blade inflicts a bonus of 2 points of electrical damage (over and above its normal bonus) on every strike: metallic armor and shields (even if magical) are discounted for attack roll purposes, as the tiny arc of energy can hit its target even though the sword itself may have missed. In addition, the wielder is protected as if by a ring of shock resistance (+3 on saving throws vs. electricity, -2 per die of damage). Finally, the bearer may call lightning twice daily if a storm is in the area.
