Alignment Detection Dagger (Magic Dagger)

This weapon is a well-made dagger with five small gems set in the hilt. It radiates magic. When a command word is spoken and the dagger is pointed casually in the direction of a person or object within 30 feet, one or more of the jewels glows to indicate the subject. The usual codes are:
Stone 	Alignment
Emerald 	Good
Diamond 	Neutral
Ruby 	Evil
Topaz 	Chaotic
Sapphire	Lawful
Thus, the emerald and sapphire set in an alignment dagger glow if it is pointed at a lawful good character. The target to be identified must be visible to the holder of the dagger. The pointed weapon does not discriminate well; if it is pointed in the general direction of more than one creature or object that has a different alignment, the gems will glow alternately in rapid succession, making their message difficult to interpret. The alignment dagger is a normal weapon in all other respects, giving the holder no combat bonuses.
