Vorpal Blade
(Alteration)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  1 round per 3 levels, upon use
Casting Time:  1 turn
Area of Effect:  Edged weapon touched
Saving Throw:  None

When cast on an edged weapon, the weapon will become vorpal upon its next use, and will remain that way for 1 round per 3 levels of the wizard. The weapon may not be magical, except if subject to an enchantment spell.
The spell adds no plusses to the weapon, but plusses due to quality or an enchantment spell do apply. The material component is a mithril razor enchanted to +6 with an enchantment spell and a sharpness spell costing 1000 gp. The spell can be made permanent, but to do so requires a specially forged weapon, and a miniature version of the weapon forged from the same metals in lieu of the razor. The total cost starts at 50,000 gp.
