== Magic Item Enchant - Magic Weapon Properties ==
The rules for [[Magic Weapons]] reside here.
Magic weapon properties grant the wearer special abilities while the weapon is wielded.  These abilities vary greatly, but often bear a resemblance to spell effects.  Note that Spell Effects cannot be applied to weapon.


A magic weapon cannot have any magic weapon properties applied to it unless it has at least a +1 Enhancement bonus also applied to it.  For example, you cannot make a longsword with the +2 magic weapon property of Flaming Burst unless it has at least a +1 enhancement bonus (and therefore an Absolute Bonus of +3).  No weapon may be enchanted with Epic magic weapon properties unless it has an Enhancement bonus of at least +6.

== Magic Weapon Costs ==
|}
To determine the cost of a magic weapon, three elements must be added together:
 
* The cost of the weapon.
== +1 Melee Magic Properties ==
* The cost of any special materials used to create the weapon (e.g. mithril, adamantine, etc.), or the cost for masterwork.
{| {{MagicItemTableHeader}}
* The cost of the Absolute Bonus (the sum of the magic properties and the enhancement bonus).
 
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Benevolent}}


{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Called}}


=== Special Materials ===
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Countering}}
Dweomermetals, such as mithril, argent and bloodgold, can grant a weapon special qualities, as well as improved hardness and durability.  The prices and special qualities of each dweomermetal are described in detail on the [[Dweomermetals And Other Special Materials]] page.


Dweomermetals do not alter the Absolute Bonus of a weapon, though the cost for a weapon made with a dweomermetal is added to the overall cost of the weapon.  All weapons made using a dweomermetal are automatically masterwork weapons, and therefore the cost for masterwork does not need to be added to the total cost of the item.
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Dispelling}}


Note that special materials cannot be added to an existing weapon.  The weapon must be built from the special material before it can be enchanted.  If a character already has a +3 longsword, and wants it to be a +3 argent longsword, he would have to sell his old sword and buy an argent one.  He cannot simply upgrade it.  (This rule can be broken, at GM discretion, in cases where the weapon is a family heirloom, an artifact, or any sort of magic item that is meant to grow with the player, where replacing it with a new weapon would disrupt the story continuity for the character.  In these cases, the item may have always been made from the special material, but only exhibits its qualities when the character reaches a high enough level to appreciate it, or perhaps it acquires the special materials qualities after some event transpires (like the character gets splashed with molten mithril).)
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Ghost Touch}}


{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Grating}}


===Masterwork Weapons===
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Impervious}}
A masterwork weapon is a finely crafted version of a normal weapon. Wielding it provides a +1 enhancement bonus on attack rolls.


Without using magic (such as the [http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/m/masterwork-transformation Masterwork Transformation] spell), you can't add the masterwork quality to a weapon after it is created; it must be crafted as a masterwork weapon.
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Keen}}


The masterwork quality adds 300 gp to the cost of a normal weapon (or 6 gp to the cost of a single unit of ammunition). Adding the masterwork quality to a double weapon costs twice the normal increase (+600 gp).
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Limning}}


Masterwork ammunition is damaged (effectively destroyed) when used. The enhancement bonus of masterwork ammunition does not stack with any enhancement bonus of the projectile weapon firing it.
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Menacing}}


All weapons created with a Dweomermetal are automatically considered to be of masterwork quality. Additionally, any magic weapons that are found as loot are also masterwork by default, since you cannot enchant a weapon unless it is either masterwork or made from a Dweomermetal (and therefore masterwork).
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Merciful}}


The enhancement bonus granted by the masterwork quality doesn't stack with the enhancement bonus provided by the weapon's magic.
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Mighty Cleaving}}


Even though some types of armor and shields can be used as weapons, you can't create a masterwork version of such an item that confers an enhancement bonus on attack rolls. Instead, masterwork armor and shields have lessened armor check penalties.
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Shivery}}


{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Smoldering}}


=== Absolute Bonus ===
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Sparking}}
The Absolute Bonus is determined by adding together the plus values of the weapon's Enhancement Bonus and any Magical Properties it will be enchanted with. For example, a +2 Advancing Rapier has a +4 Absolute Bonus, since the Advancing property has a +2 cost associated with it.


{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Spell Storing}}


=== Campaign Level ===
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Stinging}}
Heroic tier characters (characters from level 1 to level 20) can wield a weapon with an enhancement bonus up to +5, and can have up to +5 pluses worth of magic weapon properties applied to their weapon, though there must always be at least +1 Enhancement bonus on the weapon before any magic weapon properties can be applied. As a result, heroic tier characters can wield a weapon with an absolute bonus of anything from +1 to +10.


Epic tier characters (characters level 21 to level 35) can wield a weapon with an enhancement bonus up to +9, and can have a total of up to +9 pluses-worth of magic weapon properties applied to their weapon (resulting in an Absolute Bonus as high as +18). However, the enhancement bonus of the weapon must be raised to at least +6 before it can have any Epic magic weapon properties applied to it.
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Throwing}}


Any attempt to wield a weapon more magically enchanted than your level allows results in the character taking a non-proficiency penalty with the weapon (-4 to attack rolls), and the possibility of even more dire consequences (such as insanity, or being controlled by the weapon).
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Vicious}}


At level 36 and higher (apotheosis) all restrictions on enhancement bonuses and the magic item properties are lifted, at which point the weapon may be enchanted in any way the character can afford.

=== Upgrading and Changing Magic Weapon Properties ===
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Advancing}}
Enhancement bonuses cannot be removed from a magic weapon once applied, but the enhancement bonus can be increased. If the weapon is made from a dweomermetal that offers an alternate way of allocating the enhancement bonus, this can also be changed by a craftsman (or a character with the Creator feat), but performing this work takes one full day of work per change in the Absolute Bonus, with a minimum of 1 full day.


Magic weapon properties can be removed from a magic weapon, replaced with altogether new properties, or upgraded to a higher version of the existing magic weapon property (when applicable). The cost to do so is the difference in cost between the old Absolute Bonus and the new Absolute Bonus. However, if the Absolute Bonus goes down, there is no refund of money unless you can convince the craftsman performing the alterations why he should actually pay you for the privilege of doing that work. Performing magic weapon property swaps and upgrades takes one full day of work per change in the Absolute Bonus, with a minimum of 1 full day. Even if this work isn't performed by a player, the player must wait for the alterations to be performed, and they cannot make use of the weapon while the craftsman is working on it. Some craftsmen might offer to lend or rent out a weapon while their customers wait, though they would expect the loaner weapon to return to them in good condition.
{{MeleePropertiesTableAid|Astringent}}


A magic weapon which is altered in such a way as to violate the limitations of the campaign level will inflict a non-proficiency penalty on the wielder, or worse.
