Revised proposal for Waymar's Mythic path. Mournblade would have been a bit more thematic, but Purity fits well, too. It's grown alongside him throughout his adventures.
[] Waymar's 1st Mythic Rank
-[] Mythic Feat: Extra Path Ability (Energy Conversion)
-[] Path: Archmage
--[] Mage Strike: As a Swift Action, you can expend one use of Mythic power to make one melee attack. This is in addition to any other attacks you make this round. If you expend one arcane spell that you've prepared or arcane spell slot that you have available, you gain a bonus on the attack roll equal to double the spell's or slot's level, and the attack deals an additional 2d6 points of energy damage (your choice of Acid, Cold, Electricity, or Fire) per level of the spell or slot expended. The normal damage from this attack bypasses all Damage Reduction, but the energy damage is still affected by resistances and immunities.
-[] Path Abilities:
--[] Energy Conversion: Whenever you cast a spell with the Acid, Cold, Electricity, or Fire descriptor, you can expend one use of Mythic power to switch the energy type to a different one of those energy types. If the spell normally has its original energy type as a descriptor, it loses that descriptor and gains the new type as a descriptor. All other effects of the spell remain unchanged.
--[] Legendary Item (Purity):
---[] Purity's Legendary Powers:
----[] Powerful: An item with this ability has two additional uses of Legendary power per day.
----[] Unstoppable Strike: This weapon bypasses all armor. The wielder can expend one use of Legendary power when attacking to make the attack against Touch AC. If he instead expends two uses of Legendary power, the weapon also bypasses any Deflection bonus to AC the target has.
----[] Foe-Biting: When this item deals damage, its user can use Mythic power to double the total amount of damage it deals. If the attack is a normal attack, the bearer can expend one use of Legendary power to double the total amount of damage. If the attack is a confirmed Critical Hit, the bearer must instead expend two uses of Legendary power to double the total damage. Damage from weapon special abilities (such as Flaming) and Precision-based damage are also doubled.

You guys still get the necromancy and abjuration aspected blue ice though, might be good for enchanting or other experiments.

If he makes it his Legendary Weapon, could he feed it Mythic Power to satisfy the curse, instead of giving up his lighting?

@DragonParadox, can't we just pay the Old Gods to de-curse it? It's not like they don't have their own skill in runes, and their power is a direct counter to the influence of the Others.

Standard looting protocols are always in play.
The Thenn princess wasn't a Runemaster, so I don't think she has anything of that type she could pass on besides stories.
Maybe, though it might also make it less powerful.

He already specified that the cure it part of what makes it work, so we might want to find a better option than just de-cursing.
Sacrificing some Mythic Power each day he wields it sounds like a reasonable option to me?

She probably has knowledge of a few of the more ambitious projects her kin attempted before their failure. Even her accounting of that lore is valuable in its own right.Standard looting protocols are always in play.

That'd be fine by me.
It sounds reasonable, but I don't really expect this curse to be reasonable. We'll have to see what DP is going to stat it as.
Depending on how it goes it might be worth switching to the Mournblade full time instead of Purity.

@DragonParadox, since the blade locks away what you "consider your greatest strength", then what happens if the blade is wielded by something mindless?

I strongly advise that we get the Full Stats of that Blade before we try to slap it with any Mythic juice.

It might still be better for him to use against Others and their minions than Purity, but with the curse still in effect Purity is probably better for most other situations.
If Waymar learns the Energy Conversion Mythic ability, even if affected by the curse he could instead cast Fire or Acid Lances against the Others when using Mournblade.

We will. DP already said it would be shown in the next update.
This is a bit of a spoiler, but since it's relatively easy to test IC I might as well answer now, the curse does not affect mindless wielders, but its greater powers are also locked away.

I agree. Even if it isn't Waymar's main weapon, it's definitely worth keeping available for use in appropriate situations.

With Purity as a Legendary Weapon using that ability, and upgraded by Lya...
Doubling everything, it's 71 average damage against non-Evil Outsiders, plus 108 Impact, 102 Sonic and 102 Electricity damage, for a total of 383 average damage when using this ability combined with a channeled Lightning Lance.
Against Evil Outsiders that becomes 408 average damage.
On a Critical hit that becomes 766 for most anything else, and 816 versus Evil Outsiders.
Ssssooo yeah.
Waymar had a super move already.
So like any battle shounen anime, his super move just got an upgraded version of the original one.
