Hero lab - Creating Custom Magic Items/Weapons

A

Greetings,
I'm a new user to Hero lab and I am attempting to create a custom magic weapon.

What I want to create is a Sword of Darkness.
Essentially when the sword is drawn I want to to cast a Darkness spell.

I don't see a darkness spell-like ability listed under the normal custom weapon magic abilities. Is there a way to add a completely custom ability to a weapon using Hero Lab or am I restricted by what is on the list?

Thanks
 
You can use the editor to create a new item power that does that, and then add it to the sword on your character.

Thanks for the response. Is the editor something only on the PC or is it available on the iPad version? I am having difficulty finding it.

Thanks,

The editor only exists on Windows/Mac installs. See FAQ#2 for details on the Editor.

Wow!
So I'm digging into the Hero Lab Editor and there is a massive amount of things I can do, if I know how to accomplish them. I am working on combing my way through these message board and I watched all the videos in FAQ # 2 that you posted. All the information is very informative, but I think I am in a little over my head currently. I've attempted using the editor copying a Sword of Subtly but the effects are completely different (I think) and so its not working the way I want.

My goal is to create the following magic Weapon:
+5 Adamantine short sword of Darkness

Essentially the sword when equipped will automatically cast Darkness. Enabling my Rogue/Shadowdancer to utilize all their dim light abilities.

What eval scripts would I need to change to make this work. (Why cant I just keep things simple is beyond me.)

Thanks for all your continuing assistance!
