I seem to remember seeing a weapon enhancement, specific weapon or weapon material that deals 1 pt. of each energy type on a hit. Am I imagining things or does someone else here know what I'm talking about? If so, where is it?

Well I'm about to be just about completely useless...

Yes I have heard uhh....something, of a enchantment something like that thing you described...I have no idea where it's from or what it cost

But the way I remember it...it did 1 point of three different energy types...I don't remember if you could select any 3 at enchantment...on use...or at all, and no I don't remember the bonus cost.... (if it's more than +1 it's crap)

Glad I could be of little assistance :D

HA! Thanks, I actually found this earlier today. It's one of Sean K. Reynolds creations. That's close enough to official for me. This must also be what you were talking about. It's the perfect enhancement for a psion with Energy Conversion.

Triarc: A weapon with this property is similar to flaming, frost, and other energy-based weapons, except that rather than a single type of energy it is weakly sheathed in three different types of energy (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic). Each type of energy in the triarc weapon deals 1 point of energy damage of the appropriate type, so an acid-cold-electricity triarc (or ace triarc) weapon deals 1 point of acid, 1 point of cold, and 1 point of electricity in addition to the weapon's other damage, while a cold-electricity-sonic (or ces triarc) weapon deals 1 point each of cold, electricity, and sonic damage in addition to the weapon's other damage. This property may be added to a weapon multiple times, but each time it has to be a different combination of energy types, such as acid-cold-electricity and acid-cold-sonic. Triarc weapons are usually decorated with triangular symbols, sometimes bearing colors related to the types of energy they create (acid=black or green, cold=white or blue, electricity=yellow or violet, fire=red or orange, sonic=gray).
Caster Level: 3rd; Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, energy spells of the appropriate types; Market Price: +1 bonus.
