And now, we bring to the table some weapons.
Lustrous Sword: Just as darksteel is forged to make powerful dark swords, so is mystletainn used to make a holy counterpart, known as a lustrous sword. These weapons were infused with holy-elemental magic while being forged, and strike enemies almost as though they were quite literally made of the stuff. Though normally found as +1 mystletainn knight swords, there are other forms of sword that have been made into them, such as katanas and greatswords, and all of them treat the damage they deal as holy damage in many ways. While the damage dealt is still physical in nature, creatures with vulnerability to holy damage take 50% more damage from attacks made by a lustrous sword. Upon a critical hit, this extra damage is determined after the total damage dealt by the critical hit has been calculated. When attacking creatures resistant to holy, the resistance applies to the damage dealt, stacking with any damage reduction that the creature has for determining the total damage, e.g. a creature with DR 5/adamantine and resist holy 5 would take 10 less points of damage from a lustrous sword. Creatures who are immune to holy damage only take 1 point of damage per hit, and creatures who absorb holy damage take no damage at all, rather than absorbing it. Other sources of damage dice, such as precision damage and enchantments, or any other source of damage not multiplied on a critical hit, are not affected by this ability.
All holy knights are proficient with any lustrous sword, even if it is a sword with which holy knights are not normally proficient. Lustrous swords can be further enchanted, calculating prices as normal.
Price: 6,500 gil
Construction:
Requirements: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, light III, lightra; Cost: 3,250 gil
Flametongue: Though scarletite on its own is a potent enough material, there are those who feel that merely adding a modicum of heat to their fighting is not enough. For these insatiable pyrophiles, there is a special sword made from their precious red ore through extensive alchemical and magical treatments in its forging. Usually seen in the form of +1 scarletite longswords, though they can be any other kind of sword if the maker so wishes, the flametongue is a potent instrument of fiery devastation. While the damage dealt is still physical in nature, creatures with vulnerability to fire damage take 50% more damage from attacks made by a flametongue. Upon a critical hit, this extra damage is determined after the total damage dealt by the critical hit has been calculated. When attacking creatures resistant to fire, the resistance applies to the damage dealt, stacking with any damage reduction that the creature has for determining the total damage, e.g. a creature with DR 5/adamantine and resist fire 5 would take 10 less points of damage from a flametongue. Creatures who are immune to fire damage only take 1 point of damage per hit, and creatures who absorb fire damage take no damage at all, rather than absorbing it. Other sources of damage dice, such as precision damage and enchantments, or any other source of damage not multiplied on a critical hit, are not affected by this ability.
