Alacrity

Artefact •• (Terrestrial rank)

With a 4' feather-shaped blade forged from gleaming orichalcum and inlaid with blue jade, the daiklave known as Alacrity is a weapon that demands graceful and rapid use. When wielded in battle the blade itself seems to bend and twist to assist the Exalted, pulling him forwards into his blows and sliding back to help with recovery. The effect of this is that Alacrity reduces the multiple-action penalty for all actions taken with it by 2. Otherwise it is a normal orichalcum daiklave, requiring the commitment of 5 motes by the Exalted to wield it and with a Hearthstone socket mounted on the centre of the crosspiece.

The statistics below include the orichalcum Magical Material bonuses.

Shouldn't the higher bonus (when compared to the standard daiklave) this weapon brings to your combat be somehow reflected in the Artifact level or the commitment needed to wield it? The penalty reduction is clearly an added advantage! ~MadFreddy
