Kuni Crystal Properties
When a creature with the Shadowlands taint is within 30 ft of a Kuni crystal weapon, the weapon glows with a powerful white aura out to a radius of 5 feet times the enchantment bonus of the weapon. This aura illuminates the area as bright as the spell Daylight and can keep Shadowlands creatures (including monsters with the Shadowlands descriptor and characters infected with the Shadowlands Taint) at bay. To enter the area of the aura a Shadowlands creature must win an opposed level check (1d20+ level) against the weapon's wielder. To this special level check, the Shadowlands creature adds its Taint score, and the wielder adds the weapon's enchantment bonus. If the weapon's bearer moves so that the Shadowlands creature is within the aura, the creature is unharmed, and no die roll is required.
A crystal weapon deals +2d6 bonus points of holy (good) damage against Shadowlands creatures. It also deals 2d6 points of holy damage to any Shadowlands creature attempting to wield it.
Oni cannot regenerate damage dealt by a crystal weapon, and their damage reduction does not apply to crystal weapons, even if the weapons enhancement bonus is lower than would normally be required to hit the oni.
This ability cannot be added to an existing weapon (such as a samurai's katana) that is not made of crystal.
