Spirit Weapon Enchantment
At 1st level, as a swift action, the Shaman may enhance his weapon, granting a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute per class level. For every four levels above 1st, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus (maximum +5 at 17th level). The bonus stacks with any existing weapon enhancement to a maximum of +5.
At 1st level, the Shaman can use the bonus to apply the Ghost Touch ability to his weapon. From 5th level, he can add any of Flaming, Frost, Keen, Shock, and Speed. The enchantment cost of these properties are shown in the table below.
| Property | Cost |
| Flaming | +1 |
| Frost | |
| Ghost Touch | |
| Keen | |
| Shock | |
| Speed | +3 |
The Shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to half his class level + his Wisdom modifier.
The maximum enchantment of any weapon is +5 so you will need to spend any left over enchantment points on properties. Weapon properties are detailed in the items section.
Object Bond
The bonded object can be used once per day to restore any one prepared spell.
