Shelgarn's Persistent Blade
The caster summons a dagger that acts as a faithful and loyal servant. It can only be damaged with pure damage. This dagger scales with the caster's main ability score. Performing a hostile action or casting a spell (including drinking a potion) while the dagger is summoned triggers a concentration check. If this check is failed, the dagger gets unsummoned. Disabling effects will break the concentration instantly without a check. The concentration check uses the following formula: 20 + ((caster main ability score modifier with a max value of 20) x 4) + modifier based on the action done (from 3 to 9) vs d20 + caster concentration skill check.

How it works
- The blade stays one turn per two caster levels, and Extend doubles that.
- Its strength comes from your casting ability modifier, counted up to 20. Cast from an item it is always the weakest version.
