Temple’s Creed
Artifact: •••
Commitment: 8 motes
Temple’s Creed was forged by Calistryx, the questing soul of Jacint, for her proxy the akuma Temple. It is part of a set of equipment known as Temple's Vestment.
Creed is a pair of vambraces forged from Ash Damascus and Malfean Brass. It is rumored that the Ash Damascus isn't pure, but is in fact an alloy: the other component being bone given from Calistryx's very body. Each bracer bears a plate of Malfean Brass on about three quarters of its outer surface, although this plating leaves the underlying Damascus exposed on the outeredges in much the same fashion as seen in Temple's Cloister. Inscribed on the right bracer is a litany of transgressions made by the Incarna against Adjoran and her souls. Inscribed on the left bracer are the common names of Adjoran and her souls. Each bracer bears a hearthstone setting on its upper, outersurface, near edge that is closest to the elbow when worn.
Temple's Creed is built upon the same lines of traditional hearthstone bracers and posseses similar effects. While worn, the bracers enhance the user's mobility and reflexes, adding four dice to the calculation of the character's Dodge DV. It lends a similar agility and elusivness to the character's mind as well, adding four dice to the calculation of the character's Dodge MDV. LIke Hearthstone Bracers, Temple's Creed benefits from Magical Material harmonization. In this case, harmonizing with the Ash Damascus increases the minimum damage of a character's attacks by 2.
Calistryx will always be aware of the user's thoughts so long as they are attuned to the Creed.
