Both the Book of True Binds and the Tome of Truenaming were created by the same being. He made a third book that chronicled the history and truename of everything that was and would be. A few gods grew worried about this and sent their champions to destroy it. They killed its creator and imprisoned his soul in one of his books. But try as they might the book withstood all but the highest magic and when forced to use that magic the book exploded, burning. One page was saved by its creators apprentice. He forged this page into a mighty weapon and named it Paper Cut.
Paper Cut is a lightweight sword that is thin as a sheet of paper but as sharp as a Tarrasque's claw. Though it looks like a toy it is firm as steel and hard as Adamantine surprising foes for the first, and normally, last time. The blade also drinks in ink and blood leaving the paper clean.
Paper Cut is a +1 Adamantine Longsword that has a slew of ability that focus knowing the name of its foe. When someones name is written on the blade the paper changes to a random color, matching its 'foe', and gains the Bane property for that one foe. When a name is written on the blade the last name written is earsed. Spell casters using Paper Cut can forgo the Bane bonus to gain a +2 spell save DC for that target. Truenamers using utterance on the target do not count as using an utterance for the law of resistance.
If the truename of a foe is written on the blade damage done from attacks with the blade doubles. Casters forgoing this bonus can cast touch spells on the target as if the blade was the target. Truenamers can add one Meta-Utterance to utterance's used on the target without increasing it truenaming DC.
Last if a foe is slain by Paper Cut its truename is absorbed into it letting you call them forth from the dead once. You can summon a copy of the foe as they were when they were killed but at full health, spells regained as if they slept for the night, and the law of resistance reset. The spells prepared, if recalling a prepared caster, are the same chosen when the caster was killed, spent spells become regained. This foe serves you for one minute per HD it has and during this time all other abilities of Paper Cut are suppressed. The foe knows everything is did before death and has all equipment it had before death, which fades away when the summoning expires. You can only use this ability once a day plus once more per every 7 ranks in truespeak you have but never more than once per creature slain. Foes whose truenames that are stored in this way are treated as if they were Unnamed* so long as their truename is remains unused.
