I have created the following weapon and would like ratings for it:
Silverfire Sword is same as Flame Tounge (pg 226 DMG) until the
words "Silver Flames" are said by the wielder. At that time the flames
on the sword turn silver (duh) and the sword gains the benifits of the
special effects holy, axiomatic, and dancing. It also gives of a light
that varies in brightness so that an area of 50ft centered on the
sword is as bright as sunlight in midday, and it is the center of a
continous Hallow (as per the spell) caster level 15th. It retains
all the abilities of the Flame Tounge while in silverfire mode, and
the enhancement bonus rises to +3. Reverts to normal state when the
words "Silver Flames" are said by the wielder again, or the blade is
sheathed. Market Price: 218,000 gp; CL 15th strong evocation and
transmution Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Animate Objects,
Fireball, Holy Smite, Order's Wrath; Cost: 109,000gp+
10,000XP

+1 (enhancement), +2 (flaming burst), +2 (holy), +2 (axiomatic), +4 (dancing) = 11

Congratulations, you've made an epic-level weapon! Please adjust the pricing and caster level accordingly.

What are the advantages of a dancing weapon?

A dancing weapon allows the user to let it go so it may fight on its own. this allows the user to draw a different weapon or give the weapon to another ally. Since a dancing weapon is not wielded, it does not use the STR of the owner

I'd dump the dancing part. Then it would be just not epic, and it doesn't really feel right. Super glowy silver fire sword...that fights on it's own while you sit back and watch?

Cool idea, but why not just get a holy, axiomatic, dancing +3 sword...I'd say have limited uses of the Silverfire ability, or make it so you can only use it every XdX days, and/or only stays in Silverfire mode for a limited amount of time (couple minutes?).
