Simon speaks the command word and points the wand at the sword.
The spell tells him, 'The blade is a +2, Sonic Burst Great Sword.'
Simon grimaces and grips the wand tighter as if he was experiencing resistance. "There is something more but the blade is pushing back. This blade has an Ancestry and it's very headstrong. In the hands of most people it sleeps. But in the hands of a chosen few it will show true fealty. It will punish those who fail in combat, but it rewards those who redeem themselves but there is a limit to its patients. The Blade is refusing to reveal anything more. Demanding you be a proper guardian or steward by learn something of its past before it will give away more secrets."
[FYI: Basically every time you miss in combat the sword gets pissed off and will give you an accumulative -1 penalty on attack until you succeed. Then it will bestow a bonus on damage equal to x2 the penalty on attack (Maximum +10). So if you attack and miss your next attack is -1; miss again -2; miss again -3; miss AGAIN -4; then you finally hit the blade give you a bonus on damage of +8. Then it starts all over again. After a certain number of cumulative misses the sword will lose faith in you and cease to function. There might be a way to return its confidence in you but you'll have to figure that out. And the blade knows if you're purposely trying to miss to get the big bonuses.
