[IC] Chapter 1-7: Many Meetings

[Portho Nihilbuck]

All of the burning gnomes catch the hilt, so now there are as many hilts, apparently.
Portho looks at the same strange pommel that Murkatos pointed out and mutters, "Light."
Then, with a sudden idea, he grips the hilt with both his hands (easily two-handed for him) and exclaims, "Hikari Yo!" which is some ancient way of saying, "Light Come Forth!"
...
In a split second, a buzzing electric noise is heard and a jet of white light bursts forward with blinding purity. Sparks shower off the phenomenon and it solidifies in the form of a greatsword-- a human sized one.
After a briefest moment of surprise the blade dissipates into nothingness.

For what Portho can feel is that he can handle this beast of a blade with the ease of a longsword for his own size. While fighting styles with these two weapons differ greatly he feels that all the maneuvers that could be done with a longsword are possible with this blade as well.

OOC - while Portho has no idea about what are the exact effects of this blade treat it as if he were proficient with it and can wield it as a gnome longsword (i.e. a one-handed slashing weapon) but otherwise it behaves like a human greatsword; i.e. 2d6 base weapon. He can't tell if strength bonus confers to the blade but if it does then two-handed strength bonus applies if wielded two-handed (just as normal with any weapons that can be wielded two-handed). Activating the item is a standard action (may improve later...). Maintaining the effect while wielding the weapon is a free action (i.e. he has to stay conscious and stuff) so ending the effect is simply to stop maintaining it. At the moment Portho cannot tell whether the item is limited by any means, e.g. rounds per given interval; max duration per activation; total number of charges; etc.; maybe it is unlimited.

".... and as you saw even I can wields it, because it is just a blade made of light."  Portho finishes explaining to the group. "Did you want me to tech you that command that activated it?"

He carefully steps out from behind Torin as the Faerie fire wears off and walks towards Lugar, passing him back the hilt.
