This weapon, created for elven warrior commanders, is fashioned of a mithral silver and steel
alloy. It possesses the ability to detect giant-class creatures at a range of 200 feet outdoors, 100 feet indoors or underground. The blade of the dagger glows a faint white-blue when such a creature is at the extreme range of its detection ability. The glow intensifies as the giant-class creature gets closer, until the blade is shining with the equivalent of a light spell.
This dagger is +3 to attack and to damage giant-class creatures only. When attacking other
creatures, it is considered to be a +1 magical weapon, but it strikes and wounds as a normal
dagger. If desired, the elven dagger can be commanded to dim its light or to withhold its radi-ance when stealth and concealment are important. The blade glows only when giant-class creatures are near, not by any command. Any giant-class creature that holds or touches the weapon receives 1d4 points of damage per round of contact.
