Aria Kismet

Artifact 4

Aria Kismet is a Starmetal Reaper Daiklave, made during the rise of the first age. It was forged by Imperious Falcon as a gift for his visier in return for saving his life during the war. Near the spine of the blade are a collection of seven holes. Inside these holes are seven perfectly crafted bells, one for each colour of Jade as well as one of Moonsilver and one of Orichalcum. As the blade moves in accordance with fate, these bells ring out filling the air with a beautiful and transfixing melody.
Those that hear the bells while attempting to oppose the wielder of it, suffer the Aria's curse for the remainder of the scene. Fate conspires to blunt their efforts and ease those of the beings that stand against them. The victims of the Aria's curse suffer a +1 Difficulty to their actions. In addition anybody attempting to act against the victims recieve -1 to the target number of their actions.
The beauty of the Aria's music inspires the wielder to greater efforts when trying to impress an audience. The wielder gains his essence in aditional dice when making performance and presence rolls.
Finally those that have become used to hearing the blade's music can divine information about the nature of the next conflict the blade will be engaged in. The listener might need to remain in close contact with the blade for sometime however if the whole story is to be heard. The complexity of the events surrounding the conflict determine the length of time that would be required to glean everything that the music is cappable of relating.
