Even though I think I'd probably not use them anymore, I still tear up a little whenever there's a thread about Moonblade somewhere. I hope there are still plans to bring back the weapon-creation spells in SOME form, if only for the style points. Bonus if somebody has thought up a way to make them useful (make them enchantable?)

I miss fist-shape rocks and the word 'scythe.'

Seconded.

It was nice knowing that even if you're in your sunday best you still have a weapon you could always depend on.

I want to make a joke from Dr. Horrible about hammers here, but I think it would get my post pulled.

Anyway, as a WM, I think it would be cool if there were weapon creation feats which functioned like moonblade, where ranks and weapon feats effected stats. It would help make magic feel cool again, to me.

Frost Scythe (also) does Cold damage, Ignote adds Fire damage, Moonblades...also damage attunement? Concentration? Spell integrity?

Nope.

I would not expect any further enhancements to moonblade beyond what was already done with 3.1 unless we end up doing empower moonblade to restore the spell storage function. That mechanic is problematic on several levels, however, so I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for it.

If we remove moonblade from the equation, and simple say 'a spell created weapon', is that possible? I suppose it would have to have terrible stats to remove any combat function?

Aetherblade antimagic weapons! I love it. Pull on your aether cloak and stab somebody with one!

>>aether

An Aether lash(coil?) that snares the target with an anti magic/reversal - tangling them up in a debilitating ward... Like VOI but with everything.
make it barbed for an added visual effect.

I'd go for a giant aether sword through the spine to disrupt magic too or some knives to the head.
