black ora maul

as much as i love this weapon, my paladin using it is going to be hunting undead for a long time now, so i really have little use for it for quite a while.

a black ora maul
The black ora maul is shrouded in swirling shadows from top to bottom and no amount of light seems to be able to penetrate the gloom.
  • 4x
  • 9lbs
  • 85/210
  • permanent bonus to mana regeneration while held in hand.
  • permanently cursed. when put in hand, you have a few seconds to move it around, stow it, etc, until the curse takes effect, at which point you need a pure potion poured on it, or remove curse (or neutralize curse, i forget which) cast at you by a cleric (or scroll, magic item, etc). this item, as all other cursed ones, will NOT work with the paladin spell Sanctify (1625), just thought i'd throw that out.

there are tons of scripts to this weapon, just by having it in your hand, all completely random. on occasion, it may lash back and hurt you, i've heard other people say their black ora did, but i've yet to have that happen.

several different types of flares on this, including one that seems to use the Mana Disrupt crit table.

several activated scripts as well, here are the ones i've found

this is the curse setting in: The shadows darken and lengthen from your black ora maul and wraps around your hand.

The black ora maul pulses in your hand, as if seeking something.

You run a finger down the shadows enveloping your maul. The shadows writhe and surround your hand momentarily in a fiercely cold embrace, then recede to surround the maul.

clutch
>You clutch your black ora maul, your palms sweating with fear.
poke
>You run a finger down the shadows enveloping your maul. The shadows writhe and surround your hand momentarily in a fiercely cold embrace, then recede to surround the maul.
raise
>As you raise your black ora maul, the shadows swirl upward and race off of it and ascend high above, darkening the room. After a moment, they recede and return to the maul which flickers with pulses of greenish-black essence.
touch
>You touch the black ora maul cautiously. The shadows swirl around your hand, caressing it.
wave
>As you wave the black ora maul in the air, the shadows swirl off the black ora maul obscuring you from view momentarily. A sibilant hiss is heard from within the gloom.

looking for at least 20mil on this, will accept trades possibly, or a buyout MB: 20 mil

Unholy Black Ora

Well, as much as I love this new unholy black ora longsword won on the wavedancer, I've already spent hours upon hours bonding to my favorite weapon. This being the case, I've opted not to switch weapons. So, I'm taking offers on the longsword this weekend. Will sell to the highest offer. Just post any offers here or e-mail my play.net address. Thanks!

a black ora longsword
Show: The black ora longsword is shrouded in swirling shadows from top to bottom and no amount of light seems to be able to penetrate the gloom.
  • weighs 5 pounds
  • 80/190
  • seems to be ora enchant.
  • Weapon is permacursed, and gets stuck in your hand until uncuresed or a pure potion is used poured on it.
The shadows darken and lengthen from your black ora longsword and wrap around your hand.
Wave
The shadows surrounding your black ora longsword swirl around and a low murmuring can be faintly heard from within the gloom.

As you wave the black ora longsword in the air, the shadows swirl off the black ora longsword obscuring you from view momentarily. A sibilant hiss is heard from within the gloom.

Randomly Occuring Scripts:

The shadows swirl around your black ora longsword.
The black ora longsword pulses in your hand, as if seeking something.

When uncursed:

The black ora longsword howls as the shadows retreat from around it.

The little bit I've played with it reveal a very intresting myriad of different types of flares, as well as flaring almost every single other swing.
