Mist blades, also known as Fana weapons, have scripts attached with a locked and an unlocked version. These were initially teased through the Ebon Gate prize hopper and then released with Duskruin Arena, where they are sold in the shop A Mist Opportunity. When held, they alter a character's unique feature line.

Analyze

Mist Blade version

You carefully analyze your frosted glaes claidhmore and sense that there are some alteration restrictions.  Your claidhmore must be some kind of BLADED weapon. (No runestaves or bows, etc.)  SHOWS are fine to add but bear in mind the misty and shadowy nature of the weapon, evident in messaging.  The item description should not refer to the mist.  Original concept by Fana.

This item is fully unlocked.

You can turn the ambient messaging ON/OFF by PRODding your weapon.

Verbs: CLEAN, CLENCH, GET, DROP, LICK, POINT (player or no target), PROD, RAISE, RUB, STARE, and WAVE.  Messaging has a higher chance to fire, and there are three possible unique feature changes.
