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.
Effects
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.
Additionally, the sword has lots of fancy messaging for Warrior Mages.
> study broad Looking at your broadsword, you feel certain that you could:
DANCE, RUB, TAP, CLEAN, ADJUST, SHAKE, FOCUS and WAVE it.
DANCE:
With an air of nonchalance, Starlear takes up a casual outside guard stance. He stands poised for a few moments, then executes a few elegant maneuvers with his kertig broadsword, the blade a fluid extension of his arm.
RUB:
Starlear caresses the cambrinth hilt of his kertig broadsword, his eyes shining with restrained menace.
TAP:
Starlear idly taps the cambrinth hilt of his kertig broadsword, casually taking the measure of everything nearby.
CLEAN:
Starlear gives his kertig broadsword a quick shake. The blade briefly flares with flame, burning every trace of battle from the surface of the gleaming metal.
ADJUST:
Starlear casually tosses his kertig broadsword from hand to hand, then gives it a few experimental thrusts.
SHAKE:
Starlear gives the kertig broadsword a vigorous shake.
SHAKE (when activated):
Starlear gives the kertig broadsword a vigorous shake.
The flames surrounding the kertig broadsword flicker and die, until nothing remains of their presence but a thin layer of ash marring the metal of the blade.
The flames shrouding Starlear abruptly extinguish with an audible *foomph* of displaced air.
- This Deactivates the Enchantment.
WAVE:
Starlear slashes his kertig broadsword in a great arc though the air. It catches fire with a concussvie *WHOOOMPH*!
The flames quickly move up the blade of Starlear's broadsword, engulfing his arm and torso in an inferno of flame!
The fires engulfing Starlear slowly settle into the shape of a great lionskin draped across his head and back, its flaming paws clasped just about Starlear's heart.
Activation, first person, Warrior Mage:
You slash your kertig broadsword in a great arc through the air. It catches fire with a concussive *WHOOOMPH*!
The flames quickly move up the blade of the broadsword, engulfing your arm and torso in an inferno of flame!
Your knowledge of the Mantle of Flame spell allows you to tame the raging conflagration. After a brief struggle with the energies, the fire settles into the shape of a great lionskin draped across you head and back, flaming paws clasped just above your heart.
- This Activates the Enchantment. In addition to modifying the weapon's appraisal, it changes the appearance of the wielder, and the sword's TAP.
You see Lieutenant Starlear Lightsheer, Vanguard Battalion Leader of the Ilithi Infantry, an Elf.
Starlear's sapphire 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 Starlear's visage a menacing hauteur, the harsh contrasts creating the impression of hard-edged angularity.
The great cat's massive paws clasp just above Starlear's heart, the rest of the fiery pelt trailing down his back like a cloak of living flame.
He is holding a massive kertig broadsword hilted in sigilated cambrinth that burns with brilliant red and orange flame in his right hand.
Additionally you gain some periodic atmospheric messaging:
Starlear's fiery lion skin seems to bare its teeth in a snarl, its blazing eyes burning with pride.
WAVE (While Activated):
Starlear waves his broadsword which creates a flaming arc through the air.
FOCUS (As Warrior Mage):
You focus your magical senses on a massive kertig broadsword hilted in sigilated cambrinth that burns with brilliant red and orange flame.
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.
