Mervic's Dagger (Magic Dagger)

This bejeweled, ornate silver blade acts as a +2 weapon in the hands of anyone but neutral good mages. In their hands, it becomes a +5 weapon. It augments their effective character level by 2 when carried, the level increase applying to spells, hit points, and attack tables. It is semi sentient, and can communicate with its owner telepathically. It is rumored to have some other innate abilities, but sages differ on the details. It has a neutral good alignment, an Ego of 19, an Intelligence of 23, and knows the following languages: Common, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, and Gnome.
It once belonged to the renowned mage Mervic, who always carried it with him. It was found by a group of adventurers who searched his fortress after hearing rumors of his mysterious disappearance, but it was lost in later years and is said to be in the hoard of a particularly loathsome lich.
