Kachisanmonji
Artifact 3 --By BrilliantRain
- The first path of Victory: In battle let your great object be victory.
- The second path of Victory: Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
- The third path of Victory: Ponder and deliberate before you make a move.
Appearance: This sword has a similiar design to the reaper dakilave. It has several key differences, however. The most obvious is that it has several lines of old realm script engraved into the blade. These spell out the 3 paths to victory. The next difference is immidiatly noticeable to anyone who holds the sword as it it's edge is totally blunt. If sharpened, it loses it's edge the moment it comes into contact with anything, including air. The last major difference is the air of quality surounding the blade. Any sword smith can tell that a true craftsman made this blade. Smiths who study it might be able to tell that the craftsman was holding back.
Powers:
Spd: +6 Acc: +4, Dmg: 4B, Def: +4, Attunement: 5m (orichalcum)
- Speed of Light: This ability allows the user to draw the sword and attack with it faster than the eye can see (if the sword is sheathed the user may spend 4m to draw and attack with the sword at any time before or during his normal initive. If the user take multiple actions during the round, this draw and attack counts as one action and must be the first action taken. Multiple action penalties still apply. Sheathing your sword takes a dice action. Speed of Light can only be used once per round. Offer void in The District of Columbia.)
Comments
This was inspired by a bunch of anime blades, including Kenshin's.
