TBD

The rune-etched broadsword is a Valence Weapon, which temporarily allows the wielder to tap into the energy of various other valences and channel that power in offensive and defensive ways.

The broadsword is tier 1 of 4. This means that it has access to the following verbs: DROP, GET, WAVE (Slice of Shien'tyr). Bearing both a Valence Weapon and Valence Armor unlocks a special ability (Incision of the Igaesha), which is activated via TURN to grant a number of double strike attacks based on the average tier of the weapon and armor.

Additionally, the weapon will have a standard chance to flare with disintegration damage on successful attacks. Each unlocked tier allows a chance for another successive flare to occur if the previous one was successful, with diminishing chances per flare.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the rune-etched broadsword for you.

Analyze

The description of the rune-etched broadsword may be freely altered.

The rune-etched broadsword is a Valence Weapon, which temporarily allows the wielder to tap into the energy of various other valences and channel that power in offensive and defensive ways.

The broadsword is tier 1 of 4.  This means that it has access to the following verbs: DROP, GET, WAVE (Slice of Shien'tyr).  Bearing both a Valence Weapon and Valence Armor unlocks a special ability (Incision of the Igaesha), which is activated via TURN to grant a number of double strike attacks based on the average tier of the weapon and armor.

Additionally, the weapon will have a standard chance to flare with disintegration damage on successful attacks.  Each unlocked tier allows a chance for another successive flare to occur if the previous one was successful, with diminishing chances per flare.

You might be able to have a talented merchant lighten the rune-etched broadsword for you.
