RUB nijare (unbonded, Elemental-user only):

You methodically slide the blade of your nijare across the palm of your hand. The blood drawn is surrounded by a soft blue light as the blade of the nijare seemingly drinks it from your wound. The wound closes mere moments after the blade passes by. The hilt of the nijare shines with a bright blue-white light.

A voice echoes in the depths of your mind, "Now is the time to align me with the elements."

The voice pleadingly whispers into your mind, "TAP me to align me with the waters of Elanthia. KISS me to align me with the swirling birthplace of the elements, Aether. TRACE me to align me with the winds and air of the sky. WAVE me to fill me with the energy and presence of the mountains. TOUCH me to align me with the passion and energy of Fire. Or you may PAT me to align me with the element of Electricity." (Do so within the next 20 seconds)

A silver-bladed nijare with a ruby hilt is bonded to Person.

After alignment, the following verbs are available to the bonded wielder. The nijare must be CHARGEd with up to 10 mana to power these various interactions.

• EXHALE: You hold the blade to your lips and blow gently. The glow emanating from a silver-bladed nijare with a material hilt fades away to nothing as the energy stored within is dispersed.
  
  • Third person: Wielder blows gently across the blade of his/her material nijare. The blue glow surrounding it gradually fades away totally.
• KISS: As you kiss the hilt of your material nijare, a crystal clear purr of contentment emanates from it. You feel strangely elated after the gesture.
  
  • Third person: A crystal clear purr of contentment drifts from a silver-bladed nijare with a material hilt in wielder's hands.
• PAT: You reverse your grip on the nijare's hilt and pat the pommel with your other hand. The nijare feels warm to the touch as a color tendril of lightning flares down the length of the blade.
  
  • Third person: Wielder reverses the grip on his/her nijare's hilt and pats the pommel. The material nijare flares briefly as a color colored tendril of lightning careens down the blade.
• RUB: As you run your finger down the blade of your material nijare, the symbol on the base glows with color light.
  
  • Third person: Color light glows from a tiny symbol at the base of the blade in wielder's hand as he/she runs his/her finger down it.
    
• TAP: As you tap the pommel of your material nijare, a soft blue glow slinks from the symbol on the blade. The glow ever-so-slowly consumes the nijare and begins creeping up your arm. Shortly after, the glow surrounds your entire body for a moment before blinking out of existence.
  
  • Third person: A soft blue glow emanates from the symbol on wielder's material nijare. The glow slowly creeps up the nijare to surround wielder. As soon as it surrounds him/her, it vanishes.
• TOUCH: You touch your material nijare and it grows warm to your touch. Closing your eyes, you see a vision of an extraordinarily beautiful race [depends on wielder] woman with piercing amber eyes. The figure smiles warmly at you while gradually fading from your mind.
  
  • Third person: Wielder closes his/her eyes and smiles as he/she touches his/her material nijare.
• TRACE: As you trace around the blade of your material nijare, you feel it pulse slightly. Once you outline the whole blade, you stretch your hand out, holding the nijare in your open palm. The blade slowly lifts off of your hand and spins quickly in the air. The nijare starts spinning so fast, it becomes nothing more than a sphere of color light. Peering into the sphere, you see a depiction of [aether: five interlocked rings, fire: a sinuous flame].
  
  • Third person: Wielder traces his/her thumb along the edge of the blade of his/her material nijare. Once the outline is complete, he/she stretches out his/her hand, the nijare laying on his/her palm. A silver-bladed nijare with a material hilt begins spinning quickly, and soon becomes nothing more than a sphere of color light. Looking into the sphere, you see a depiction of symbol.
• WAVE: You slice through the air with your material nijare, leaving an arc of color light in its wake.
  
  • Third person: Wielder slices through the air with his/her material nijare, leaving an arc of color light in its wake.
