Name:Shikomi-Zue

Rank:Legendary

Type: Hidden bamboo cane sword

Description: This sword was gifted to Jubei 20 years ago, while he was traveling the country side of Fiore. He met an incredibly talented blacksmith, whom specialized in hidden blades. Jubei had recently broken his previous katana while protecting the blacksmith and his daughter from bandits. The overly grateful blacksmith worked night and day, to show his appreciation to the swordsman.



Strengths:
-While sheathed, the blade looks like a normal bamboo stick.

-Can resist B rank spells

-User can utilize as a strong, powerful blunt object while sheathed and attack with a non lethal bamboo stick.

Weaknesses:
-Blade cannot resist A and above ranked spells

-Although user can use as just a bamboo stick, its still susceptible to damage.

-Once the user unsheathes blade, then enemy will no longer be in the dark about the weapon. Meaning surprise factor will be lost.

-All bamboo blunt physical damage dealt is 1 rank below user.


Abilities:


Name: Serpent Fangs

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Duration:2 posts
Cooldown:8 posts.

Description: The user will focus his energy into the blade, causing a green glow to appear. This is different than the usual blue aura, as it is a mixture of
the Shikomi-Zue energy as well. The user will then attempt to enclose on the user and send a powerful strike, forcing this corrosive energy into their body. The target will feel a strong sense of pain for the next 3 posts. Receiving D ranked damage for each post. The user's blade will remain ignited until the duration is completed, within that time he is capable of affecting up to 3 different people with this effect. [color=teal]Reduce to two people and to two posts. /color]

Strengths:
-The blade's physical strikes will now induce a powerful bleeding effect on its target. Dealing D ranked damage per post, for 3 posts.

-The bleeding damage can be used on multiple targets

-The blade will deal physical user ranked damage on top of the bleeding effect.

Weaknesses:
-User must physical strike target in order to induce effect, meaning long range fighters have advantage.

-Can be used to bleed multiple targets, but up to a max of 3. Once third user has been effected, glow will end and begin cool down.

-Possible for spell to end, before user was able to affect anyone.

-If used on target 1 rank higher than user, they will bleed for only 1 post. And does not effect anyone 2 ranks above user.

Passive Ability:

Increased durability: When this sword is used to clash with other weapons, its durability is increased by 1 rank.
