Subj: The Assassin's blade
Deep within a dark place… where dark things are.. where bad guys lurk… a dark tanto was discovered that does dark things.

Do you want to feel like you are an assassin? DO YOU WANT TO? HUH? Well look no further I have just the thing for you!

Have you ever wanted to swing once but be such an AMAZING ninja assassin that you swing twice?

You swing a shadowy black ora tanto at an Ithzir adept!
AS: +458 vs DS: +304 with AvD: +25 + d100 roll: +92 = +271
… and hit for 73 points of damage!
Strike punctures thigh and shatters femur!
An Ithzir adept falls to the ground grasping her mangled right leg!
You flip your black ora tanto in your hands after your strike and reverse directions towards your foe!
You swing a shadowy black ora tanto at an Ithzir adept!
AS: +458 vs DS: +262 with AvD: +25 + d100 roll: +53 = +274
… and hit for 94 points of damage!
Incredible strike pierces heart and runs the Ithzir adept clean through!
The Ithzir adept vainly struggles to rise, then goes still.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

BOOM! WHAT IS THIS SORCERY? AM I A NINJA SORCERER YOU ASK? PROBABLY!11!!

Hmm, well, that was cool, BUT WHAT ELSE?

This blade is six times enchanted, WHAT? NOT FIVE? FOUR? BUT SIX!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! THAT BLADE IS SWOLEEEEEE!!!!

IT IS EXCEPTIONALLY CRIT WEIGHTED? WOW? REALLY?

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!111!! THE BLADE IS BUCK NASTY!

Pls tell me more ok

ok

What else does it do?

WELL LET ME TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This blade can remove fifteen points of crit weighting when waved at a target once every 30 minutes. This effect lasts for 5 minutes.

wave tanto at adept
You deftly slice at the air in front of you with your black ora tanto, sending a wave of shadows towards an Ithzir adept!
An Ithzir adept is suddenly encased in tendril-like shadows!
Roundtime: 3 sec.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? IS THIS REAL LIFE IN GEMSTONE LIFE? WHAT! WHAT!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Pls tell me more ok

ok

gaze tanto
You spin your black ora tanto deftly in your hand, watching as the blade changes to a mix of sanguine and amber.
The sanguine side pulses dimly and the amber side pulses dimly.

WHAT? WHAT IS THAT? WHY AM I BEING SUCH A NINJA AGAIN!?

Well, let me show you what this issssss.

cover tanto
You press your black ora tanto flat against your hand and gently turn it, causing the blade to glow sanguine.
You feel drained!
Roundtime: 3 sec.

pull tanto
You pull the hilt of your black ora tanto against your chest and breathe deeply, causing the blade to glow amber.
You clutch at your chest in pain!
Roundtime: 3 sec.

I DON’T GET IT!!111!!!

OK I TELL U OK

When we cover our tanto, you can store health.
When you pull on your tanto, you can store stamina.
Both of these have a limit and can be reclaimed at any time.

raise tanto
You flip your black ora tanto in your hand and hold it parallel to your eyes. The tanto pulses sanguine tendrils down your arm; you feel reinvigorated!

push tanto
You flip your black ora tanto in your hand and push it out from your body. The tanto pulses amber tendrils down your arm; you feel reinvigorated!

WOW, WOW< WOWWWWWWW!11!!!!!

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE WHEN THE SHADOWS RETURN TO THE BLADE?!!?!??!?!?!??!

A slender shadowy tendril slowly snakes its way up your body before seeping back into your black ora tanto.

TAKE ME NOW TANTO!!!1!!

This is a UNIQUE item and only one will be released EVER at your 2016 auction!

Retser, ASGM

Dear God that Tanto is amazing.

Does it also have any other typical black ora properties?

Subj: Re: The Assassin's blade
When you said “remove 15 points of crit weighting”,
did you in fact mean to say ‘weighting’ (in which case I would assume that ithzir adepts’ weapons are usually crit weighted), or
did you mean to say ‘padding’ (because I assume that most very-high level creatures have some amount of padding, just to stay alive and be a challenge)?

I assumed he meant that it lowered the crit weighting on the tanto by 15 points in order to use that ability to, it looks like, bind a creature.

Essentially you remove padding on the creature, thereby increasing your weighting.
I zigged when I should have zagged.

That was what I thought you might have been trying to say, but I was down with the other explanation, too. 🙂

Does the Tanto double strike effect happen on every swing, or is that a random chance?

I just realized this was a dumb question. Anyway, can the tanto be ensorcelled?

The double strike is a flare and is a random chance.

You would need a godly sorcerer ninja to ensorcell this blade.

I think I know what runestaff this ninja has.

>You would need a godly sorcerer ninja to ensorcell this blade.

You channel at a shadowy black ora tanto.
You sense that the black ora tanto has already been permanently ensorcelled 4 times and that you should be able to ensorcell it easily enough, barring bad luck.

[If you would like to proceed with this ensorcellment attempt, re-channel the spell at the black ora tanto within the next 30 seconds.]
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

You channel at a shadowy black ora tanto.
Having probed the black ora tanto already, you begin to channel your stored necrotic energy at it. You carefully regulate the flow of energy in order to attempt to overcome its natural resistance while not simultaneously overwhelming yourself…

You make an okay attempt.

Success! You manage to breach the black ora tanto’s defenses and pour in enough of your stored necrotic energy to permanently fuse it to the black ora tanto’s very structure.

Roundtime: 15 sec.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

It was a very cool project.

I think he misspoke and he meant to say, “Oh, that’s not right. Something certainly is wrong with that blade. I’ll have to look into it and reset it. This shouldn’t have been allowed to happen.”

Oh…wait, we’re talking about ensorcell and not enchanting. Never mind.
