Forgotten Edges
Artifact Level ~ 2
Commitment ~ 5 motes
These inconspicuous knives have been forged from a special steel alloy containing black jade powder and soil from an unmarked grave. The blades are a dark, matte gray in color and the hilts are wrapped in dark sharkskin. Binding the enchantments in place is the old realm word for 'forgotten', etched in starmetal filligree into the tang of the blade. The knives come as a pair and bear no hearthstone settings. They are balanced for both close combat and throwing.
Forgotten Edges have been bound to the Fate of the unnoticed. The knives are so inconspicuous that observers will always assume the bearer is unarmed (provided they are not carrying other obvious weapons). They are undetectable by mundane means and increase the difficulty of magical detection by 5.
In combat the bearer can enhance the aura of inconspicuousness to the point where his opponents will constantly forget about the existence of the knives. If the target does not know where the bearer is, he will always be unaware of attacks made by the Forgotten Edges. Even if he knows where the bearer is, he must make a wits + awareness check, at +3 difficulty, every turn he is attacked, as if he were being ambushed. If an opponent is protected by magics or devices that render him immune to surprise he can ignore both of these effects. Activating this effect costs 5 motes and a willpower and lasts for the scene.
