Item: Castrovel's Beacon
The tip of this +2 greater striking brilliant standard-grade cold iron rapier shines with a flickering sheen of green light that mimics the glittering appearance of Castrovel in the night sky. The carrier of Castrovel's Beacon instinctively knows Castrovel's position in the sky even if it hasn't actually yet risen into view, which grants the wielder a +2 item bonus to Sense Direction when using the stars to orient themself. Additionally, the weapon grants a +2 item bonus to all saving throws against effects that cause the Dazzled or Blinded conditions.
When its brilliant rune is activated, the counteract rank is 6 and the counteract modifier is [[/gmr 1d20+21 #Counteract]]{+21}.
Activate—Starlight Burst 1 (manipulate)
Frequency once per day
Effect You cast Vibrant Pattern from Castrovel's Beacon as a 6th-rank arcane spell with a DC 31 Will save. Creatures with the elf trait are immune to Starlight Burst, and creatures with the demon trait take a –2 item penalty on all Will saves against the effect.

The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Sword: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming off-guard until the start of your next turn.
