Restriction: This ability can be placed only on melee weapons.

Ominous: An ominous weapon trails a shadowy haze behind every stroke, and moans a menacing dirge in battle. An ominous weapon adds its enhancement bonus on Intimidate checks made by the wielder. Once every 10 minutes, the wielder of an ominous weapon can make a free intimidate check to cause an enemy to become shaken. A creature that gains the shaken condition from an ominous weapon (including the free intimidate check) cannot gain that condition again from the same individual for 24 hours.
