The wielder of a blade of the rising sun may declare a sacrificial strike (similar to the retributive strike of a staff of power) as a standard action, or as an immediate action before losing consciousness upon gaining the dying or dead condition. Undead surrounded by this glow take 1d6 points of damage at the beginning of their turn. Whenever the wielder of a blade of the rising sun threatens a critical threat (regardless of whether the critical is confirmed or whether the target is subject to critical hits), the target is surrounded by a halo of golden sunlight equivalent to faerie fire until the beginning of the wielder's next turn. This golden-bladed +1 glorious undead bane katana shines like the first rays of the morning sun. Aura strong evocation and necromancy CL 15th Weight 6 lbs.
