Devouring
A mighty voracity for souls from the Great Below is given to the weapon, dealing remarkably permanent damage and boasting heavy penetration.
Creation Details: This enhancement may only be applied to a weapon already bearing the Essence Edge and Absolute enhancements, and may only be applied by a [Fiend], with the assistance of a [Fiend], or whilst the weapon is imbued with a soul from a [Fiend]. If the latter of the three is true, the soul is made a part of the weapon, effectively destroying it, making it completely irrecoverable until the weapon is destroyed.
Effects: The weapon becomes an almighty soul taker, devouring the strains of magic, reality, and cutting right to the ethereal. The weapon completely ignores all miss chance regardless of source, can strike any target regardless of type, corporeality, or anything between, ignores all armor and save bonuses that would fail to function in a null magic zone, and deals all weapon damage as though it were simultaneously vileBoVD, Essence, Max HP damage, and HP Burn.
This means all damage from the weapon cannot be recovered until it is successfully healed as Ability Drain in a hallowed area, and rested away naturally, although those two may be done in either order, though whichever action has produced the least healing so far is the number that currently counts until all damage is recovered in both ways. Its dealing Essence damage simultaneously results the expected XP theft, and in slain creatures losing their souls. The soul may be held by the weapon or wielder, chosen at time of death. If it was not already able, the weapon may now hold an unlimited number of souls.
Lastly, it grants the wielder Unmake Arcane as a maneuver-like ability, using character level in place of initator level, and using the chosen attribute and ECL of either the creator or wielder, whichever is better. The weapon may additionally function in null magic zones, though an anti-magic effect from a source stronger than either the wielder or creator function as normal.
