View source for Using Holy Weapon (1625) to bond to a black ora weapon

To allow the weapon to be bonded, you must cast first cast [[Consecrate (1604)]] before the shadows wrap around your hand, then cast [[Holy Weapon (1625)]] as normal.
If you try to bond with it after they have, it will not work.
Furthermore, the weapon will not be sanctified, and it will not kill undead.
The [[paladin]] still receives a [[strength]] and [[wisdom]] bonus for each level of bond.
Black ora weapons still must be uncursed to remove it from one's hands.

==== An example of a bonded black ora weapon in use ====
<pre{{log2}}>
You swing a black ora military flail at a massive pyrothag!
   AS: +372 vs DS: +156 with AvD: +40 + d100 roll: +29 = +285
   ... and hit for 94 points of damage!
   Well placed shot pierces knee, that hurt!
   The massive pyrothag is knocked to the ground!
   The massive pyrothag is stunned!

** As your military flail hits, it sends a surge of power through you that quickly leaps out at the pyrothag! **
  CS: +246 - TD: +186 + CvA: +25 + d100: +99 == +184
   Warding failed!

A massive pyrothag appears to be overwhelmed by some burdening force.
