Talk:Magical Blade (5e Spell)

The basic idea is neat, but the scaling effect seems like way too much for a cantrip. Compared this effect to magic weapon, for example. - Guy 18:03, 21 January 2020 (MST)

I agree. I think the scaling should be removed, but then you could make the spell work similarly to Shillelagh. I would recommend:

1. Removing: At Higher Levels functionality.
2. Changing: The spell's components to (a melee weapon worth at least 1 sp),
3. Adding: For the duration, you can use your spellcasting ability instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of melee attacks using that weapon
4. Restricting: The spell to end prematurely if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon (just like Bladesong) so the damage dice of the weapon don't outpace Shillelagh's d8.
5. Adding: The caveat "if it isn't already" to the weapon becoming magical, just for consistency.

With those changes, I think this could be a cool spell. --Woahluigi (talk) 22:39, 14 September 2024 (MDT)
