SPECIALS
The Blade of Awe has an overall 10% chance to perform one of 6 unique specials.

The weapon special starts off as:
Base & Rand: (0.2*XSpecial - 0.1*XNormal)*1000 / (Base + Rand/2)
Lucky Strike: (100 + 6.6*PowerLevel) %

Where:

XNormal:= ((Base + Rand/2)*(100 + 3*PowLvl) + XStat/8*(100 + 6.6*PowLvl)/2) / 100.
XSpecial:= (-0.00000349*PowLvl^3 + 0.000552*PowLvl^2 + 0.0801*PowLvl + 1.67) * (Base + Rand/2)
XStat:= 2.1462*PowLvl + 10.399, rounded to the nearest 5, to a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 200.

The BTH is
 * If Power Level is below 90: (min(2.1462*PowLvl + 10.399, 200) / 8 + max(0.7123*PowLvl - 19.111, 0)/20 + PowLvl/8) rounded down
 * If Power Level is above 90: (200/8 + min(5*PowLvl - 400, 200) / 20 + PowLvl/8) rounded down
