    The keen edges of this elegant rapier seem to fade and twitch, making it difficult to look at directly and surrounding it with a blur of motion though it remains perfectly still. Attached to the base of its pommel is a transparent black crystal with a faint, sickly glow.

    The Fleeting Neon Rapier is a Lesser Rogue Blade and Keen Rapier +1.

    It has been enchanted with magic to provide a +1 enhancement bonus to hit and damage.

    As a keen weapon, it threatens a critical hit on 15-20.

    Upon activation, it provides the wielder with the effect of a blink spell for 6 rounds. The effect ends prematurely if you stop holding the Fleeting Neon Rapier. This effect can be used once per day.

    The Fleeting Neon Rapier currently has a Least Crystal of Life Drinking attached to its pommel.

    A Least Crystal of Life Drinking bestows a small amount of life energy upon you each time you damage a living creature with the weapon to which the crystal is attached. Dealing non-lethal damage with the weapon doesn’t activate the crystal’s effect. Each time you deal damage to a living creature with the weapon to which this crystal is attached, you heal 1 point of damage. When the crystal has healed a total of 10 points of damage, it becomes inert until the following day.

    The Least Crystal of Life Drinking can be attached to any weapon of at least masterwork quality. Attaching or removing the crystal of life drinking from a weapon is a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

    History

  • The Fleeting Neon Rapier is currently wielded by Neon Wilde.
  • The fleeting or blinking ability of the rapier is reminiscent of the well known "Neon Maneuver".
