MournBlade

By FllenAngeI@aol.com

Description

This sword is the biproduct of a battle between a Bastet playing with the infernal and a minor demon. Toward the end of the battle the Bastet activated a pre-set binding ritual to trap his opponent (his original intent) for crimes against his Kith and Kin. The demon was severely weakend as it was being beaten in its own realm. It did not have the willpower to resist the binding. MournBlade is the result.

The Sword is an elaborate broad sword forged from silver taken from the silver lake in the realm of Summer Home. Two dragons rise from the hilt as hand guards. The handle is steel wrapped with bronze twine. The blade itself is an ebon black as a result of the binding. Celtic runes are engraved along the blade that glow with a soft blue light when drawn. On the bottom of the handle is a butt spike.

The Blade does not need a sheaf. Once attuned to the users spirit, a process done by meditating with the blade at one's feet for 24 hours the sword can be summoned by mental command from an Umbral pocket and dismissed in the same manner.

Mechanics

Live Action: +5 traits, does 2 aggravated wounds. Expend one Willpower and the sword bursts into black flames, capable of dealing another Aggravated damage. With a mental challenge against the victim it may steal a blood trait. One additional aggravated is inflicted to Garou from the silver blade.

Table-top: Str +5, damage is Strength + Potence + 2. A Willpower expenditure results in the Black flames described above. A second soak roll must be made to prevent the flames from spreading, causing another aggravated each round until extinguished. One addition aggravated level is inflicted to Garou from the silver blade.

The sword must be fed with a single blood trait each day otherwise the binding is expelled and the Demon is free once again.

Optional rule: There is a minor ritual that allows the demon to perform minor acts for the wielder; it takes 30 minutes to perform. There's a catch, though! Every time the demon is set free it requires two addition traits of blood for a month.
