| Look: | The silvery-black blade of the sword is chased with an abstract orichalcum design, the sinuous undulations reminiscent of turbulent flames. Covered entirely with arcane elemental sigils that create an exquisitely intricate pattern on its dark surface, the sturdy hilt glints with reddish highlights. | |

Sword Of Arhat
This sword is thought to have once belonged to the famous mage Arhat. Warrior Mages report the use of this sword to be exhilarating. Others report more uncomfortable results. Both claim the experience to be 'fiery,' though whether this is a metaphor remains unclear.
Cesiro stated that this blade was supposedly wielded by Arhat during the Human-Elven wars.
Focus
The kertig broadsword has a definite magical pattern, which apparently is an enchantment.
You recognize the pattern as a manifestation of Elemental magic.
It seems to involve Fire Manipulation. The pattern itself is unique, to your knowledge, though parts of it remind you of the Mantle of Flame and Ignite spells.
Effect
The sword's damage type changes when it is activated - it loses all Slice damage and gains the same amount back as Fire damage. Trying to activate the spell while not being a Mantle of Flame knowing Warrior Mage leads to a fire lion appearing and mauling your face, arms, neck and chest, wounding you and setting you on fire. Ignite cannot be cast on the broadsword while it's already on fire. The enchantment also changes your look.
Custom Player Look When Activated
X's [color] eyes survey the area from within the jaws of a lion skin of brilliant flame, the creature's vicious teeth bared in a fiery snarl. The illusory animal's great mane is a raging inferno of red and and orange, limned with vivid yellows and blues. The dance of light and shadow lends X's visage a menacing hauteur, the harsh contrasts creating the impression of hard-edged angularity.
The great cat's massive paws clasp just above X's heart, the rest of the fiery pelt trailing down his back like a cloak of living flame.
To the room:

Atmo

Evoke
A stressful ache fills you as you pace restlessly before the ranks of the assembled apprentice mages. Green, unblooded children, but there's no time -- they will soon be tempered in the fires of true battle, or they will break.
You see fear and uncertainty in every eye, though many try to mask it with reckless bravado.
You decide it's time for a demonstration.
Grasping the cambrinth hilt of your broadsword, you draw it in one fluid motion, waving the kertig blade high above your head.
All the world is flame.
With a start, you find yourself drawn back to the reality of the here and now.
