Force (Melee Weapon Magic Property)
The wielder of this weapon may activate this property with a swift action, causing the weapon to fade into an iridescent translucence, and, if examined, it provides glimpses into a vast, deep space inside itself, that seems to be full of mysterious shapes and movement. Once transformed, a force weapon inflicts 3d6+3 points of bonus Force (energy, uncommon) damage on each successful hit as bonus damage, and all of the weapon's damage is delivered as Force damage. The force damage does not harm the wielder. The property's effect remains active until another swift action is expended to turn it off, the weapon is sheathed, or until the wielder takes a full night's rest, whichever occurs first.
When attacking a foe within melee reach, the force weapon ignores any miss chance the target may have due to either partial or total Concealment (due to terrain, lighting, or anything else), though the attack must still target the proper square.
Force weapons, as with any attack that deals force damage, count as both corporeal and incorporeal. Because the weapon exists fully in both a corporeal and incorporeal state, it ignores the 50% reduction in damage that is normally granted to incorporeal creatures, or when the wielder and the target exist in different corporeal states. It also deals normal damage to targets in the same corporeal (or incorporeal) state as its wielder.
