The Blade of Phys is a large sword made of extremely light translucent crystal, it guard resemble a large stylized star or a snowflake. The Blade was said to have belonged to the Order of Phys, cosmic knights who wandered the multiverse, however the blade is now all that left of them. The Blade of Phys start as a +1 crystalforged prismlight bastard sword, it crystal composition has a special molecular structure, making the sword extremely light (1/6th of it weight). Thanks to it minimal weight, the Blade of Phys is wielded as a short sword. (In other words, the weapon appears to all viewers to be a bastard sword, and deals bastard sword damage, but the wielder feels and reacts as if the weapon were a short sword.) Any individual able to use either a bastard sword or a short sword with proficiency is proficient in the use of the Blade of Phys. Likewise, Weapon Focus and Weapon Specialization in short sword and bastard sword apply equally, but the benefits of those feats do not stack.
