Swordbreaker

A major/minor weapon/artifact power which increases the damage to opposing weapons it blocks or is blocked by. If installed as a major weapon-artifact power, Swordbreaker occupies three (3) points of Ego/Will. If installed as a minor power, it cannot be combined with any other enchantment.

If Swordbreaker is installed in an existing weapon or artifact, its Duration is Indefinite. If it is installed as the weapon is being made, its Duration is permanent.

The value of a Swordbreaker is determined by the caster-installer's skill index and the success achieved. With MS the value is CSI/, with CS it is CSI. The value must be recorded. When an opposing weapon makes a damage check as a result of blocking or being blocked by the Swordbreaker, 1d(Value) is added to the roll. Hence, if the value is five, 1d5 is added to the roll. If a weapon makes a damage check against a Swordbreaker with a value of 7, it rolls 3d6 plus 1d7.
