Holy Sword
This spell transforms the caster's melee weapon into a powerful Holy Avenger, a specially blessed weapon that, when wielded by paladin, acts like a holy weapon that has a 50% chance to dispel magic on a damaging hit, with a dispell caster level equal to the wielder number of paladin levels (minimum 10, max 40). The weapon also delivers an additional +1d6 divine damage against evil aligned creatures, if the wielder is of Good Alignment. If the wielder is of Evil alignment, the weapon delivers an additional +1d6 negative damage against good aligned creatures. If a non-paladin wields a weapon with the Holy Avenger property on it, the dispell magic on-hit uses a caster level of 10.
