Keywords: Combo-OK, Obvious
Duration: Instant
Prerequisite Charms: Blinding Spark Distraction, Refining the Inner Blade
The sword has the spirit of fire in it. A Fire Aspect can fan this spirit into something great from the smallest of sparks. Anytime a foe tries to parry this weapon he can spend his motes and activate this charm. On a successful or unsuccessful parry the sparks that the weapons meeting throw up are fanned into a replicate blade that slips past the weapon as easily as a sword swipes through fire. This lets the DB make a full pool attack on someone that is unblockable but can be dodged. A perfect parry will stop this and the fire duplicate. This charm is used in step 2 of the combat resolution after your opponenet has decided wether to parry or dodge but before their charm use is declared.

With a snap of his blade a long whip or lash or tendril extends from the tip. Formed of water, or lightning, or whatever element is appropriate for the Dragonblooded in question this Dragon's Tail as its sometimes called gives the Terrestial a deadly advantage in combat. Anytime the Dragonblooded lands a blow onto their enemy they get to make a reflexive contested clinch roll with that person. The Dragonblooded can substitute their Melee skill in place of Martial Arts for this roll. Success means that the lash has wrapped itself around their foe. The lash though is not as constricting as normal clinches. The victim can still act but takes a -2 external penalty to all their actions. Every turn on the DB's action another contested Clinch roll can be made to escape the lash. This roll is not affected by the -2 external penalty of the lash. The lash has additional effects based on their element.
The Air lash is made of lightning and the shock of that lash reduces all rolls by 3. The flexible stone of the Earth lash is particularly strong and gives the Dragonblooded one free success on their clinch rolls. The hot lash of Fire burns its victim doing 4L dice of damage on each of its victim's turns. The lash of water gets in under armor and tends to constrict the throat increasing the number of ticks before their next action by two. The thorns of the Wood vine lash poison and inflict a cummulative -1 penalty on all the victim's dice pools if they fail a reflexive Stamina + Resistance roll. A DB can only have one person lashed up at any time and can always intentionall have their lash let go of a person whenever they wish.
