Holy Blade (Su): At 5th level, the shining blade of Heironeous can bestow two magical enhancements upon his weapon. If a character had more than one divine spellcasting class in which he could cast 1st-level spells before he became a shining blade, he must decide to which class he adds each level of shining blade for the purpose of determining spells per day and spells known. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. Spells per Day/Spells Known: When an even-numbered level is gained, the shining blade of Heironeous gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in whatever spellcasting class in which he could cast divine spells before he added the prestige class level.

In a given combat a shining blade can spend one standard action to make his weapon holy and another to make it a shock weapon with Shocking Blade.

Some members of the order believe that a minimum of training as a cleric, combined with the intense martial discipline of the fighter is ideal to achieve the goal the shining blades seek, while others follow a single class exclusively. Most shining blades are clerics or paladins. The shining blades is an order of knights dedicated to prowess in melee combat, which is achieved through prayer, devotion, and asceticism. Those among their deity's followers, both clerics and paladins, who aspire to become weapons in their deity's unending war against evil hope one day to enter the shining blades. A Shining Blade is taught a focus on promoting good through the use of armed force.
