Items imbued with a soul are regarded as Intelligent Items. These items have a personality of their own, and telepathic communicate with anyone touching them (similar to a Bonded Weapon). These items have a Magic, Resistance, Smarts, and Luck. These stats start at a 1 and for every 500 Gold spent on the item you can advance one of the weapon’s stats.
This weapon possesses training in one Magic, Smarts, or Luck skill for each point it has in Smarts. In order for the intelligent item to speak aloud (and not through telepathy) you must spend 2,000 G.
Intelligent Items know a number of human languages equal to their Smarts.
