Dominant Personality: Starting at 15th level, an item starts to gain intelligence if it is enchanted with the blade queen's alignment for a period of time, as her Psionic link with the Blade of her alignment becomes so strong that her personality leaks into it. After 5 weeks, an item has a mental score of 10 in each ability. Every 5 weeks an item improves by 2 in 2 ability scores of the Blade Queen's choice.

The item's ability mental scores cannot exceed the owners. Determine powers according to Table: ITEM INTELLIGENCE, WISDOM, CHARISMA, AND CAPABILITIES. Powers cost experience instead of gold, determined by Price/10. A Blade Queen's weapon can never have a special purpose unless it mirrors an obsession the Blade Queen has herself. Even though the item is a reflection of the Blade Queen's personality, it is by no means subservient. It has an ego score like normal and behaves as an intelligent item as normal. This means it may have a chance to dominate the Blade Queen. An item typically behaves after the trait it is named after, for example, a chaotic good sword will want to get revenge if a village has recently been pillaged. Failure to go after the raiders will result in a personality conflict. If you fail the will save, the blade will gain dominance over you. If the Blade is disenchanted or destroyed the Blade looses all of it's powers as an Intelligent Item and progress have to be started from scratch, an intelligent Blade cannot float on it's own without an appropriate enchant or power. Blade Wall: At 20'th level the Queen of Blades gain the ability to make a Blade Wall once per day, surrounding the target completely with blades for [1d4 + Half Wisdom] rounds or till the Queen of Blades returns the blades. This ability requires the complete concentration of the Queen of Blades and any attacks made against her requires a concentration check similar to spell casters to maintain the ability. As well, the Queen of Blades cannot take ANY actions other than returning her Blades while Blade Wall is in effect. Depending on whether the target is considered hostile or friendly the ability changes. For a friendly target it grants 16 Deflection bonus to AC and any monsters adjacent will be attacked by at most one sword each round with a -4 penalty to Attack Bonus. For a enemy target it distracts the target removing their dexterity bonus to AC as well as all Blades attack at the maximum BAB with a -4 penalty, and the target is unable to move.
