Retractable Longsword (3.5e Equipment)

This gnomish-made device looks like a longsword except only a foot of the blade remains. But when a button on the hilt pushed, the spring-loaded blade extends and locks into place. It is a free action to push the button. this sword also comes with a sheath about a foot long which also has a spring loaded feature (the button is loacated on the locket) this allows the blade to spring out and travel through the air for about 10 ft. To sheath the weapon, the button is pushed and must be forced into the sheath (or pressed against a hard surface). This is a full round action
