These blades were creations of Azurmoth, god of sleep, that were given to his most trusted priests. With the gap spanning half an inch running up the middle of the blade, stopping about 5 inches from the tip, the blades are considerably lighter than other short swords. Their curved form gives them the look of miniaturized scimitars. The hilts are often wrapped in leather almost died completely black. They deal 1d6 +1 damage (the plus one is from the amazing speed they can be sliced with due to careful crafting.)
Magical Properties:
These swords, upon striking, cause a will save to be made at a DC 19. Failure indicates the target falls into an almost commatose sleep. If the wielder then choses, as a full round action, he may create and control a dream in the targets sleep. The dream may be as kind or horrible, quick or long as the wielder wants as long as he takes a full round action for every round he wants the target to sleep and dream for. If the victim is over 10th level, they are allowed another will save every 3 rounds.

The sword should not be usable for anyone, for controlling the dreams of others is not easy. And if it is abused in some way (depends on said god of dreams), the user will get some nightmares too...

If I wanted to sneak attack somebody, I wouldn't want to be holding two swords that I couldn't use in battle.
But, even if they do bend, a talented swordsman can use anything to defend themselves. I think of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon where the Green Dragon (was that the name of the sword) was a flimsy thing but if you use it correctly and not parry, but redirect, it can be most useful.
I would leave these swords as useable during combat, but maybe only during the night when the god of sleep is powerful. In the darkness they are hard as anything, but in the daytime they are weak and brittle.

Anyway, about the thing about gods making items and all that.
Even if these Azurmoth Blades are only given to his most holy priests, aren't deific items a bit powerful to just go handing out to everyone? Or maybe I'm overrating their power?
