Question about Radiance

[Z3R0]

I fobbed this weapon off on to Seela because 1) my magus is a rapier/finesse specialist, 2) it seemed a fitting weapon for a Paladin and 3) she already knows how to swing a longsword. Was this a mistake? Can Radiance be transformed into a Rapier? With Seela wielding it, it's merely a cold iron masterwork longsword which is useful but doesn't seem particularly special.

The only weapons that changes type is the talking one.

You can't change it into a Rapier, however you can talk to Joran before the tavern raid in act 1, and he will turn it into a +2 enhanced sword in act 2, and you can upgrade it once or twice after that including giving it back its holy aura.

No Radiance is a longsword only.

You can upgrade Radiance later in the game , the first upgrade will not be super crazy but the final one is good.

Speaking of, does that one ever get upgraded or anything ? I am on act 3 and its not worth using it since it has the same stats since act 1. Not that I NEED to , I am mostly interested in the story behind which I am sure will show up soone or later. But I am curious if it gets upgraded

Finnean does eventually get an upgrade. You'll eventually get a random encounter with people connected to his past.

Well at least you aren't me and handed the thing off to the storyteller to have him talk about it, then lost track of where it was put since it was equipped in her secondary slot before I did that. My best guess is it must of put it back in my inventory and I sold it by mistake while selling a bunch of other stuff. Sad times.

End of act 3 gives a chance to upgrade it to it's final form, makes it extremely good for Good or Evil aligned characters depending on which path you take it down. Assuming you had it upgraded (getting the scabbard) in the end of act 2.

The good thing about Radiance's final form is that unlike traditional Holy Avengers, its full power works for Paladins or any Good aligned Mythic character, meaning Seelah doesn't have to be the one to use it.

They should make the radiance upgrade a bit better, if I didn't know it could be upgraded to basicly a holy avenger I'd have sold it off ages ago.

Yeah i'm surprised at how good the Finnean weapon is adds like a level 12-15 or so stat to a level 7 weapon

Second this, Finnean is crazy good once he's upgraded

I forgot to talk to Joran before Gray garnison. Will I still be able to upgrade it in Act 3 or getting it to +2 is a requirement ?
Thanks
