OPEN: With a practiced flick of your wrist, you snap open your silk fan to expose the sharpened steel edges at the end of the blades.
You switch your fan so that you can use it as a light edged weapon.

WAVE: You flutter your silk fan absent-mindedly as you survey your surroundings.

KISS: You raise your fan in a flirtatious swirl until it just barely hides your lips, being careful not to cut yourself on the sharpened steel.

FLIRT: With a graceful swirl, you raise your silk fan to veil all but your eyes.

DANCE: With a theatrical flourish that belies the deadly nature of the razor-sharp steel blades, you twirl your silk fan in a half-circle, raising it above your head as you spin, then slowly lowering it in a dance of silk and steel that ends with the weapon displayed before you as you bow low.


CLOSE: With a practiced flick of your wrist, you snap your silk fan closed, savoring the weight of the weapon in your fist.
You switch your fan so that you can use it as a light blunt weapon.

KISS: You tap your closed fan against your lips.

FLIRT: Lowering your lashes, you oh-so-casually trace your closed fan against the curve of your cheek, slowly drawing it down to rest it against your other hand.

DANCE: Taking a breath, you begin a stylized dance, extending a steel-bladed silk fan with a delicate ivory tassel to balance your movements. You start on one foot, bringing your fan up and over your head with a quick swirl of your wrist, then step forward and turn as you lower the fan to finish the movement balanced upon your opposite foot.
