A horrific vision of impending death rises out of the weapon when its wielder strikes true. On a successful critical hit, the weapon afflicts the target with cause fear (Will DC 11 negates). This effect activates even if the creature struck is not subject to critical hits (roll to see if a critical hit occurs, then apply the fear effect if appropriate), but it does not affect creatures immune to mind-affecting spells.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, cause fear.
