The Kukan

Name: The Kukan
Rank:  Artifact - 2 Player-Ranked Spells(up to S rank)
Type: Katana Sword
Description: The Kukan looks like a regular katana sword. It is 23 1/2 inches tall just like the average katana. The blade holds a special ability that caused Cirven's father to search for it in the past. The regular looking katana changes form depending on the magical power the user puts into it. During the change the Kukan gives off a bright light after which the light disperses leaving the blade in a new form. These new forms cause the blade to be stronger and give the user new abilities with the blade. This ability was originally used to gain the magical power of dragons through their scales but Cirven has found other uses for it with his own magic. The Kukan has a dimension where it can hold up to 8 objects for Cirven. These objects can be no bigger than a 3 feet long and wide each. Nothing living can be put inside the dimension. This dimension can also be used to suck in a magical blast/ranged attack and then shoot it back out. When he does this he opens up its dimension by slashing the air in front of the him to suck up a blast of magical energy, He slashes the same area again to close the dimension for and slashes it open again to fire the same attack back out. The Kukan gives off a vibration when the magical power of a dragon is near. The vibration gets stronger the closer the magical power is. The user can stop the vibration simply by touching the top of the hilt.

Strengths:
- Can change form giving the user new abilities with the blade.
- Can hold items in its dimension.
- Can use its dimension to redirect attacks.

Weaknesses:
- Limited number of things the dimension can hold.
- Has to be held in order to absorb magical energy.
- If the Kukan is dropped while being used it instantly reverts back to its normal form.
- Cannot open Dimension unless he is holding the katana.

Abilities:

Name: Kukan Slayer Form: Xihe
Rank: A
Type: Flame Demon Slayer, Kukan Form
Duration: 6 posts with a 7 post cooldown
Description: Cirven coats the Kukan in a massive amount of his white flames causing a bright light to shine out from it until it surrounds him. The light then fades away to reveal an new form of the Kukan. Cirven is surrounded by nine blades made of pure holy white flames while the Kukan itself is also changed into a similar form. Each blade is no longer metal in any way and cuts using the extreme heat of each. Cirven can control the floating blades and move them around with using his mind. He can disperse the blades around him and make them reappear near a target within 15 meters of him to attack them. Due to the Kukan being made of pure flames it is now practically weightless in his hands. He can also use these blades to heal himself or his allies by a small amount. When used to heal an ally the blade stabs through them or slashes them and shoots a warmth throughout their body that heals wounds due to the holy properties of the blade. In this form each blade and the kukan deal A-rank damage.

Strengths:
- Blade of Ten Sons: Cirven can merge all the blades around him together into the Kukan to form one massive blade the size of 10 meters in length and 5 meters in width. The Blade can be used to swipe at multiple targets due to its size and weighs nothing. This form does 1.5 A rank damage. This form can be extinguished by a S-rank or higher water spell. This form can also be used to heal up to 3 people by slashing them. This form last for 2 posts with a 3 post cooldown.
- Due to the temperatures the blades burn at they easily cut through wind magic of B-rank and lower.
- Can be used to attack any enemy within a 15 meter radius around him that he sees.
- Can be used to heal himself or allies using the healing properties of the blade. This heals the target by 15% while cleansing them of physical and spiritual debuffs. This ability has a 2 post cooldown after use.

Weaknesses:
- Any water in the air will lessen the damage the blades do to their B rank equivalent.
- Water spells equal to A rank or higher can be used to extinguish the blades. Once extinguished, Cirven can not summon them back for 2 posts.
- Wind magic of S-rank or higher can be used to extinguish the blades putting them on cooldown.
- Earth magic of A-rank and higher can be used to smother the blades putting them on cooldown.
- Has to be able to see the enemy that he summons his blade(s) around.
- During the time when he uses a blade to heal all of the blade(s) deal no damage and heal instead.
- Due to the blades being made of pure flames they cannot block any solid items and instead let them move through them. The item moving through the flames will still take B-rank fire damage though.


Name: Dimensional Redirect
Rank: A
Type: Support/Attack
Duration:1 post with a 5 post cooldown
Description: The Kukan can use it dimension to consume a magical blast/ranged attack and shoot it back out. This can be used as an attack or a way to redirect the blast/attack at something else. Cirven cuts the air in front of him with the Kukan to open a rift into the Kukan's dimension which sucks up the blast/ranged attack. The rift then closes with another slash and reopens after another to shoot the blast back out.

Strengths:
- Can redirect a ranged attack.
- The rift opens up and sucks in the attack before it can connect with anyone around the user.
- Shuts after the attack is sucked up and opens up on the other side of the blast so that it fires back out with the same velocity it was sent at.
- Can be used to suck in an attack that fires multiple blasts. (Up to 6)
Weaknesses:
- Cannot be used to suck in a person so it is useless against physical attacks.
- User has to have enough time to slash the Kukan through the air and for the rift to open and be big enough to suck in the blast.
- Cannot be used on any spell that is S-rank or higher.
- Dimension can only appear where the blade cuts making it hard to hit an attack that can change direction quickly.
- Can not be used against AOE type attacks or attacks that fly in multiple directions.
