This razorsharp knife shines with a dangerous light, though its greatest dangers cannot be seen.
One of the great mystic theurge Motskalla Sarcus' 10 'divine tools', the cosmic razor is an item that manipulates, severs, and dominates the spatial dimensions. With a single effortless swipe of the wielder's hand, a block of solid adamantine may be severed, or an entire space wiped away. The knife itself appears innocuous, only about the size of a peeling knife, and yet touching the impossibly fine blade seems to cause no injury at all. Attacking with the knife normally does no damage.
The wielder of the cosmic razor has a 30-foot-radius sphere of influence centered upon himself in which the razor's abilities can be used. In the abilities below, the word sphere refers to this area. Within this sphere, the wielder can affect the space and any objects within it, allowing its wielder to use the following abilities. The cosmic razor is a 'mental weapon'; any saving throw DCs are based on the wielder's highest mental ability score.
- As a standard action usable at will, the wielder may swipe the cosmic razor and affect everything within the razor's cutting plane. This two-dimensional plane extends within a 90° spread from the wielder along the path of the swipe, out to the boundaries of the sphere. Any unattended object or structure bisected by this plane is split through completely. Creatures within the plane of the swipe must make a Reflex save or be affected by a disintegrate effect (effective caster level equal to the wielder's highest caster level, Fortitude partial). Unlike complete disintegration, any creature killed by this effect is merely cut through. Only materials with a hardness of 50 or more, or those that can only be molded by divine abilities, can resist complete severing, instead taking damage as though they succeeded their Fortitude save against the disintegrate effect. Protective armor made from such materials will ward their wearers to a similar level. Only artifact-tier objects are completely immune to the cosmic razor's spatial severing quality.
- As an immediate action usable at will, the wielder of the cosmic razor may manipulate space within the boundaries of the sphere; he may surgically remove an ongoing effect, such as an area effect or a speeding projectile, from the space of his sphere. The effect is either absorbed within the knife or relocated to another area within the sphere. Any non-instantaneous effect absorbed within the knife may be placed back within the sphere as a standard action, provided it has duration remaining.
- As an immediate action usable at will, the wielder of the cosmic razor may negate any attempt to manipulate space within the boundaries of the sphere, such as teleportation effects, dimension-altering effects like dimensional anchor, and other effects that alter space in a similar fashion as the cosmic razor itself. Any non-instantaneous effect negated by this ability is instead suppressed for 1 round.
- As a swift action usable at will, the wielder may teleport anywhere within the sphere.
- As a swift action usable at will, the wielder may create a dimensional transference effect that is active throughout the entire sphere for 1 round, extending your and your allies' range in battle and redirecting enemies' attacks as per the spell. Fortitude saves as per the spell.
- As a full-round action usable once per 10 minutes, the wielder may swipe the cosmic razor three times through the air to create a stationary portal through dimensional space. This functions as a precise plane shift effect that temporarily connects two coexistent planes. As such, the wielder can for example use this ability to pass from the material plane into the plane of shadow, but not from the material plane into the astral plane or one of the elemental planes, which are not coexistent. The portal remains only for 1d4+1 rounds before fading.
- As a standard action usable at will, the wielder of the cosmic razor may duplicate the effects of benign transpositionSpC. If the wielder is one of the two creatures that exchange places, it may be done as a move action instead. This effect may be used as an immediate action instead, but after using this ability as an immediate action the wielder may not use it again for 1 minute.
- As a standard action usable at will, the wielder of the cosmic razor may use its powers to compress or expand the space of a creature or object, effectively allowing it to be enlarged or reduced. This space expansion/compression effect cannot increase a creature or object's size above Gargantuan, or below Fine. When the creature or object leaves the sphere, it immediately returns to its original size.
- The cosmic razor's blade is itself a space compressed to two dimensions, resulting in its otherworldly sharpness. As such, the cosmic razor also functions as a bag of holding that can safely hold living creatures. Stabbing a creature or object directly does not deal any damage, but causes the target to be drawn within the razor's space. Unwilling creatures may make a Will save to avoid being drawn into the blade. Any creature or object absorbed within the blade may be called forth again as a swift action.
