Re: [DL] d20 spells, metamagic feats, and magic item creation

It is a cool idea at that...  though I know some people who would comment 
that the Marshal was unbelievably kind.  After all, he could have made the 
relic's curse/side-effect more like that of Bowie's Knife, only instead of a 
burning desire to kill Mexicans it afflicts the wielder with a tendency to 
attack children or other innocent people...

Then again, maybe my play group has become accustomed to cruelty, villainy, 
and assorted uber-badness over the years.  :-D

THis is an extremely cool idea.
