These swords are only created via the ''field of blades'' spell. As a Tiny creature, it gains a +2 size bonus to attack rolls which is factored into the above stat block. Each animated sword may make attacks of opportunity (although since it lacks the [[SRD: Combat Reflexes|Combat Reflexes]] feat, it may only make one such attack of opportunity per round). When the animated sword attacks, it has the option of dealing piercing or slashing damage.
The animated sword can be targeted by enchantments that buff spells that target weapons (such as ''[[SRD: Keen Edge|keen edge]]''). If one blade is targeted by such a buff, all blades summoned by the same spell effect receive it. Because they have the Stand Still feat, they can provide crowd control and flanking bonuses even though if they do not necessarily deal significant damage by themselves.
'''{{Anchor|Imbued}}:''' When created animated sword gains a Base Attack Bonus equal to the caster's caster level, and a flat enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to one third the caster's level. In addition, it adds the caster's primary casting stat (e.g. Intelligence for a wizard, Wisdom for a cleric, etc.) as an additional bonus to attack and damage rolls in place of the normal Strength modifier a melee combatant would receive. These bonuses are not factored into the standard monster block as they vary based on the caster of the spell.
*An updated Base Attack Bonus of +7/+2.
*An updated full attack bonus of +16/+11 (+7 BAB, +2 size, +5 from the caster's stat modifier, +2 flat enhancement bonus).
*Deal 1d8+7 9 damage (again +5 from the caster's stat modifier, +2 flat enhancement bonus, +2 from Weapon Specialization).
