Spider Fang Dagger (Magic Dagger)

These daggers are always black or dark purple in color. Their touch causes all nonmagical ropes, bindings, and magical or natural webs to part instantly. Despite the name, this weapon has no effect on poisons and does not itself employ poison. Once every six turns, a spider fang can emit a web from its tip. Such webs are in all respects identical to those created by the spell and last for four turns, if not destroyed earlier. A spider fang can also emit a curtain of cobwebs once a day. This shroud like, oval curtain hangs upright in midair, always 6 feet in front of the point of the dagger. The curtain partially obscures the vision of others, so that they may not be able to identify the wielder of the spider fang, and it causes all nonmagical missile attacks (excluding those from siege engines) against the wielder to be launched at -1 to hit and damage.
A curtain of cobwebs acts in all other respects like a shield spell, except that it has no effect at all on magic missiles. It lasts for seven rounds, moving as the point of the dagger is moved, and may be positioned over a window or portal and left there, if the wielder leaves the dagger on a table or jammed into a crevice.
If a curtain of cobwebs contacts any living being who is not at the same time also touching the spider fang that created it, it collapses instantly all over the being, doing 1d3 hp corrosive damage. A curtain of cobwebs is destroyed instantly by any contact with flame, being consumed with a flash and a roar. If this occurs at the same time that the curtain contacts a creature, the creature suffers an additional 2d4 hp fiery damage (save vs. spell for half flame damage). The creation of spider fangs is known to involve the ichor and web silk of driders or certain monstrous types of spiders, shield and web spells, and a complicated brew of strange ingredients in which the blade must be submerged for several days.
