Description

A two-bladed sword is a double weapon. You can fight with it as if fighting with two weapons, but if you do, you incur all the normal attack penalties associated with fighting with two weapons, just as if you were using a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. A creature wielding a two-bladed sword in one hand can’t use it as a double weapon—only one end of the weapon can be used in any given round.

+11 or more	+ bonus squared × 20,000 gp	+ enhancement bonus × 2	+ enhancement bonus × 10
Increase total cost for magical enhancement by 2,000 gp for cold iron weapons. This is the extra cost of enchanting only one head. Calculate the extra cost as if each head were a separate weapon. Unlike the additional cost, the increase the weapon's hardness and hit points are only gained from its enhancement bonus, not its special abilities. If the weapon has a magical bonus greater than +5 or a special ability worth more than +5, the weapon is epic. Multiply magic cost by 10.
