Legacy weapons have interested me for a while now and I have never gotten the chance to play around with them. Let alone make one myself. My DM has given me permission to custom create a Legacy Weapon for one of my replacement characters "so long as I follow the rules of making one". I was hoping to get some feedback on this though as I rarely homebrew.

Ritual Cost: Least 2,000g; Lesser 12,500g; Greater 40,000g
*The Rituals themselves I will leave up to the DM to decide- I simply need to present a Legacy Weapon.
*History I have a rough idea on the weapon- though I am not exactly an expert story teller myself. I'll convey my rough idea to my DM and he can likely come up with a better one than myself.
Urgency:
The first legacy ability of Celestia's Sacrifice is Urgency. You gain a +10 Enhancement Bonus to your Land Speed.
Angelic Charge:
At 7th level, Celestia's Sacrifice grants you the power to take one additional attack with Celestia's Sacrifice at the end of a charge. This extra attack is made at your highest attack bonus and must be made against the target of your charge. Angelic charge is usable once per day.
Weapon Enhancement:
Starting at 9th level, Celestia's Sacrifice gains a +1 Weapon Enhancement. At 11th level, it gains Keen. At 16th level, it gains Collision. At level 20 it becomes a +5 Weapon Enhancement.
Soaring Leap:
At 10th level, you feel much lighter, gaining a +5 bonus on Jump checks whenever you wield Celestia's Sacrifice.
Divine Punishment:
When you attain 13th level, the critical multiplier of Celestia's Sacrifice increases to ×3. As it begins to deal Divine Punishment against those who oppose it's wielder.
Protecting Freedom:
At 17th level, you persistently gain the benefit of a freedom of movement spell. Caster level 15th.
What I personally used to Balance:
I used a lot of Tiger Fang's abilities (from Tome of Battle pg144) along with the listed abilities in Weapons of Legacy for custom creation. The only other thing I used was Notched Spear's freedom of movement (from WoL pg125). I used a slightly edited template provided on pg 185.
Please give me some feedback as it would be much appreciated!
