Talk:Holy sword

• So casting this spell on a +6 enhanced weapon would lower it to +5? Would other enhancements (haste, regeneration) be lost as well? Blacknight 09:32, 12 July 2006 (PDT)

• No you want loss the +6 EB bonus or loss any megical or abilities that the weapon already has. Only problem is that you might have too many bonus on the weapon and the extra damage or OnHit dispell from Holy Sword want work. -- Pstarky 12:22, 12 July 2006 (PDT)

• Why does this spell have "or Creature" as a spell target? Bromium 13:00, 21 August 2007 (PDT)

• Because this spell can be cast on either a melee weapon or a creature wielding a melee weapon. (Same deal as magic weapon.) Maybe you should ask why BioWare has the description saying "caster's melee weapon" instead of "target's melee weapon". --The Krit 14:16, 21 August 2007 (PDT)

• So a pet bear who has a "creature weapon" is not a valid target I take it.  :( Bromium 14:29, 21 August 2007 (PDT)

• Creature weapons look like they're valid targets (according to the script). Best to check it in the game, though. --The Krit 16:20, 21 August 2007 (PDT)

[edit] Mistakes?

The dispell percentage strikes me as wrong. I've definitely seen 14 paladins dispell 38 clerics, and do it frequently. I think it's a 1 in 4 chance to dispell on hit, provided it does physical damage.

Also, once the spell wears off of a +6 weapon, it'll lower the bonus to +5. Probably a bug, but something I've witnessed personally. Anyone got any evidence to back up the caster levels thing, would be fantastic.

• Let's say you have a Longsword +6 with no other properties, and you cast Holy Sword on it. When you examine it, you would now see the +6 Enhancement bonus and the Holy Avenger property. If you check the battle logs you should see that the bonus being used is the +6 and not the +5 (or +11 of course). I've never seen the Enhancement bonus lower to +5 when the Holy Avenger property wears off.
