This function creates a temporary geometric weapon whose blade is but two dimensions. Because of the thinness of the nearly invisible cutting edge, the blade inflicts impressive damage. While the weapon speed and parry attributes are unmodified, the weapon inflicts 1d4+6 damage due to its sharpness. This weapon inflicts triple damage against geometric constructions (such as Geometric Shield, Sphere, Staircase, etc.) as well as triple damage against Constructs. For Monofilament weapons, if the Mathematician is not proficient in the weapon type (in this case, if he is not proficient in dagger), he may still use the weapon and suffer only on half of the BAtCh penalty for weapon unfamiliarity. Because the dagger constitutes a magical/enhanced weapon, the device functions at +1 to BAtCh for every three levels of the Mathematician, and is cumulative with any proficiency that the wielder possesses.
