This elegant weapon appears smooth and pristine. Characters who serve gods of valor, honor, and other lofty principles craft these weapons of pure goodness for themselves and others who share their values.

A holy surge weapon functions as a holy weapon. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation.
In addition, on a successful melee attack with a holy surge weapon, you can command it to emit a burst of holy energy. Against an evil target, this burst deals an extra 3d6 points of damage. If used against a non-evil creature, it deals no additional damage, and that use of the property is wasted.
This ability is usable a number of times per day equal to 1 + your Cha bonus (if any). Once you activate this property, it can’t be activated by any other creature until the following day.

Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, holy smite or holy word.
Cost to Create: 1,000 gp (plus 300 gp for base item), 80 XP, 2 days.
