Aetherblade

Utility

  • Utility: Aetherblades, with ultrasonic aetheric currents along their cutting edge, were historically devastating weapons of war, known for their exceptional precision and speed in cutting through various materials. In close combat, they efficiently disarmed foes and incapacitated opponents.
  • Historical Users: Once primary weapons in ancient warfare, aetherblades were wielded by warriors of all backgrounds, offering unmatched cutting power.
  • Contemporary Use: Today, aetherblades are mainly ceremonial and decorative items displayed or used in events of significance.
  • Handling and Benefits: Held like conventional swords, aetherblades' aetheric currents enhance cutting efficiency, making them formidable weapons in skilled hands.
  • Authorised Users: Predominantly used ceremonially, aetherblades are still trained by Nightwalker regiments, preserving their close-quarters combat effectiveness.

Manufacturing

  • Craftsmanship: Aetherblades, renowned for their fine craftsmanship, are primarily created by skilled human artisans who have mastered the art of sword making.
  • Materials: These blades are meticulously forged from high-quality alloys, honed to perfection for strength and durability. Aetheric conduits are carefully integrated into the metal during the crafting process.
  • Crystals: The aetheric crystals, responsible for the ultrasonic currents, are not produced by the swordsmiths. Instead, they are manufactured externally, typically at dedicated crystal factories by Magi craftsmen who imbue them with aetheric power.
  • Integration: Once the aetheric crystals are ready, they are delivered to the master swordmaker. With utmost precision, the swordsmith inserts these potent crystals into the hilt, establishing the link between the blade's structure and the aetheric currents.
