A blade of divine moonlight springs from your hand.

School evocation; Level cleric 3
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
Range personal
Effect 1 sword-like beam
Duration 1 minute/level
Saving Throw none; Spell Resistance Yes

You create a bladelike beam of moonlight in your hand. Anyone who can cast Sword of Moonlight is considered proficient with it. However, if you have any feats that affect your attack or damage rolls with a specific kind of sword (Weapon Focus, etc.), it is considered to be that type of sword. Attacks made with the Sword of Moonlight are melee touch attacks. Its strike damages the spirit, rather than the body, causing no visible wounds but dealing 1d8 points of damage +1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10) to any type of creature other than undead. Undead are visibly damaged by the blade. They are cut as if by a real sword, and they take 2d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +20). The blade, being made of light, has no weight, so you do not add your Strength bonus to the damage.

Author's Note: This spell is only usable with the Moon Domain, which I also submitted. It's based, more or less, on the 3.5 spell Moonblade
