Equipment
Equipment Type: Katana
Name: Asashakkin (Morning Debt)
Description: A simple, but elegant katana forged from tamahagane, a very high quality steel. The tsuba is shaped like an oval with pointed ends and the tsuka is wrapped in blue ito cord over white rayskin. A very traditional japanese blade.
Quality: Forged by Ryuko with high quality steel, this blade is very durable and possesses a cutting edge capable of biting deeply into low grade iron.
History: When Ryuko's parents died she was initially left with no clue as to what she should do. But Shou spoke with his father and asked him to take a chance on the girl's smithing skills. As Shou's birthday approached, his father offered to pay Ryuko to re-open her fathers smithy and forge a sword for Shou. This gave her a meaning in life when nothing made since and so she poured all of her gratitude into this blade which started her smithing career and dreams. Shou is aware of the heavy feelings crafted into the blade and trusts it with his life as he hunts his brother Shun down.
Equipment Type: Wakizashi
Name: Mukabe (Nothing Wall)
Description: A curved short blade sealed in a black scabbard which hides a blade forged of darker steel than normal. The guard is comprised of two intersecting rings making it more aerodynamic and the ito wrap is made of black cord. The butt of the hilt has a small ring at the end that can be used to change ones grip easily.
Quality: The dark metal isn't just for looks. It doesn't make the weapon any more durable, but it does make it more light weight without sacrificing any cutting power or strength. This makes it much easier to defend quickly using Mukabe.
History: Another gift, but this time from Tenju. The young monk was once sent to the north eastern provinces to help quell a plague and returned with an odd souvenir. It was a large number of human Bezoars that he apparently found in the bodies of many plague victims. He asked Ryuko if they could be used to forge a companion blade for Shou's Asashakkin. The bezoars changed the structure of the steel and burned off much of it's mass without losing flexibility or durability. The resulting shortsword was then presented to Shou on his 14th birthday. He treasures it just as much as Asashakkin, if not, more so knowing the blades origins and the lives it cost to forge.
Equipment Type: Kunai
Name: Kunai
Description: A simply shinobi kunai. A throwing weapon that can be used as a small knife as well.
Quality: Nothing special, just a normal steel kunai.
Quantity: 4 (Two in each sleeve)
History: Purchased from Ryuko on commission, but nothing else is special about them.
Equipment
Magic Tool Name: Khakkhara
Tool Appearance: A metal staff with an ornate ring at the end with several rings looped on the sides. It is great for channeling rukh of the 4th type.
Magoi Consumption: Insignificant
Magic Types: 4th || Lightning
Commands: Gather rukh of the 4th type.
Magic Effect: This magic tool makes it easier to channel lightning magic and is ideal for those trying to master that type of rukh.
Equipment Type: Rope
Name: Divine Knots
Description: A rope made of natural fibers tied into an ornate and intricate series of knots. It is a gentle red in color and feels very rough to the touch.
Quality: Woven from all natural materials, it is possible to use in conjunction with ruhk of the 8th type. The rope is strong hard to break with tension alone even for a magoi manipulator(but still very possible, it would just take a lot of effort). But it can still be cut easily enough.
History: A simple rope Tenju brought along to work life magic on.
Spells
Spell Name: Dulab Ublah (Coil Trap)
Spell Level: Minor
Magoi Consumption: Low
Magic Types: 8th Type, Life Magic
Commands: Awaken the natural fibers of a rope or vine. Coil up. Spring towards target. Wrap around them. Form knots.
Effect Description: The rope or vine used in the spell coils up into a ball before springing towards the direction the caster wills it to go. When it hits something it will wrap and coil around it before creating knots. It is a quick and effective way to quickly bind and trip up an opponent.
Spell Name: Rafiq Shifa (Gentle Healing)
Spell Level: Minor
Magoi Consumption: Insignificant
Magic Types: 8th Type, Life Magic
Commands: Spread over the patient. Form a thin layer. Concentrate magoi near wounds on the patient and stop the bleeding. Ease pain.
Effect Description: A flutter of rukh moves from the user up to three feet away. If it hits someone it will spread over their body creating a thin film. This film is fragile and could be destroyed from a single blow. But if undisturbed it will seal any open wounds and stop all blood loss and make the wounds less painful.
Equipment
Equipment Type: Hammerblade
Name: Hammerblade
Description: Large weapon that looks bigger than it really is while sheathed. The tip of the blade is actually wider than the rest of it making the sheath wider and as a result making it seem like a normal shaped, albeit massive, sword. The length of the blade simply seems like that of a longsword until you reach the last 4 inches of the blade. The end then widens out to form a blade with the silhouette of a blacksmith's hammer. This blade was made to put all the weight at its head for the sake of cutting through metal as its being forged.
Quality: Made with an unknown material that is incredibly durable. But is far too heavy and unwieldy to be a practical weapon. Only used for smithing.
History: The only momento Ryuko has left of her father. She found it in the burned down remains of her fathers shop after Shou's brother Shun burned it and the local castle down. It is a precious symbol for her and she never lets it out of her sight.
Equipment Type: Longsword
Name: Longsword
Description: Sturdy double-edged longsword. The straight blade has a fine edge and a fuller down the middle.
Quality: Made with high quality steel and forged with a fuller to keep down on weight while still remaining a hefty weapon when you strike with it. A longsword designed for speed and control over raw power.
History: A blade forged by Ryuko based off notes from her father's homeland smithing techniques. It is one of her better pieces and one of the few she was able to recover in decent shape after the fire.
Techniques
Technique Name: Kurve Anprall {Curve Impact}
Description: The user holds a heavy two handed weapon overhead. This can be a sword, club, nearby tree, anything the user has the strength to lift. The user then stomps their feet into the ground to create a foot hold on the earth. Their body then shapes into a distinct curve as he weapon his held in alignment with the curve of the users body. At this point an incredible amount of potential energy that has built up is released in an explosive downward strike.
Effect: Using the foot hold created, the user is able to utilize all of the muscles in their body to empower the attack including the full strength of their leg muscles. The result is a incredibly powerful downward swing that can create small craters in the hands of a physical monster. In Ryuko's case, she uses the technique to wield her hammerblade to forge weapons. It allows her to split the metal in a single blow and then pound out the impurities when folding it. While it is useful in the forge, the preparation it takes makes the technique clumsy to use in battle with anything heavier than a typical iron sword.
Fatigue: Ryuko's capable of using this skill over and over again for hours when making use of anything under 120 lbs. But only if she has a one post cool down before each use to maintain her breathing pattern. Using it two or more times in a short time span is stressful on every muscle in the body so the cost becomes exponentially greater. 2 times is a 5 turn cool down and 3 times forces a 10 turn cool down. 4 times is out of Ryuko's reach as it would tear the muscles down her back arms and legs. A horrible injury which would be almost impossible to recover from with conventional medicine.
