Why wouldn't the character be able to hit the monster effectively for the
spell's temporary duration? While being hit, the monster _is_ being affected
by magic; it doesn't know if the enchantment is of a limited duration or not,
and I don't really see where it actually would matter in any case; whether
sliced to ribbons within the Bladesharp's duration, or sliced to ribbons by
something with a longer duration (like a Trueswird or whatnot) leaves the
monster equally dead in either case.
Of course, if the stipulation is that only magic does damage, then
Bladesharp could easily be used to attack the monster, but it'll only be
taking points of damage equal to the Bladesharp's damage bonus :)
