Editing Character:Avena, the Silent Blade (section)

===Artifact 4 (Blade of the Knowing Wind)===
This blade, modelled as a Grand Daiklave, is almost a foot shorter than most of the kind, thus giving the impression of inflicting somewhat less damage. Made from orichalcum with details of moonsilver, this blade’s real power is not to be underestimated. When attuned and wielded, a phantom blade starts to flicker in and out of existence at the wielder’s will. This phantom blade floats in the air around the wielder, parrying incoming attacks, and slashing out together with the original blade, striking from different angles at once. 

This phantom blade has the same statistics as the original sword, and gives the wielder another PDV in the same manner as the spell Virtuous Guardian of the Flame (though this PDV is calculated as a normal one). The wielder can also allow the blade to strike, either on its own or together with the original blade. Doing the later would mean that one attack roll would hit twice, requiring both to be defended against. Last but not least, the phantom blade’s ability to shimmer in and out of existence makes it impossible to follow. At its wielder will, the phantom blade’s attack automatically becomes unexpected.

The statistics for the Blade of the Knowing Wind is as follows: <br>
Speed 6, Accuracy +4, Damage +7L/2, Defense +1, Rate 4. Tags: 2,O,P,R

This artifact attunes for 10 motes.
