Magical Items

The world of Cradle has several unique and powerful weapons, supplementing the battle techniques used when a sacred artist employs the Sacred Arts. Like the sacred artist, the weapon itself usually has a level associated with it. This is based on the materials used, including the binding, Remnant, etc., and the advancement level and skill of the soulsmith. For example, a Lord-level soulsmith who can forge weapons with soulfire in a soulforge will create weapons superior to those created by a Gold-level smith. See Soulsmithing page.

• Akura Harmony’s Axe —- see Ghostwater and Underlord

• Wavedancer — Lindon’s flying sword, wind and water madra

  It was a real sacred instrument, a masterfully crafted weapon covered in elegant script. The double-edged blade was wide and tinged with just a hint of blue, its runes stylized to look like crashing waves. The hilt and guard were a pale green that reminded him of wind aura and carved with the image of powerful gusts. Wavedancer was the weapon’s name, and it was a masterpiece. Its Archlord spirit was as graceful as its physical form, and it had no binding, so he could use it even as an Underlord. According to the description from its creator, it was meant to “Bend the swiftness and power of an ocean storm to the protection of its owner.” (Uncrowned, ch 15)

• Penance — arrowhead of absolute death forged by Ozmanthus Arelius

• Netherclaw - Yerin’s second blade, a black sword employed by her Blood Shadow, Ruby:

  The black sword was called Netherclaw, named for the beast that guarded the Netherworld in the mythology of some culture Yerin didn’t care about. It was used by a slaughter artist centuries ago, an Archlord on a Path of blood and sword madra that had murdered anyone he came across to harvest their aura. He had eventually been stopped by a Sage —- the Sage of Red Faith, in fact, though Yerin had a hard time imagining him saving anyone’s life, even by accident. Its binding was an advanced Forger technique, filled with the will of the murderer who had left it behind. Yerin had tried to activate it herself, but her compatibility with the sword was pitiful.. . Ruby could use the technique just fine . . . Scarlet madra Forged in lines over Ruby’s sword, weaving itself strand by strand, growing in power and intensity. (Wintersteel ch 21)

• Imperial Aegis — Archlord Shield employed by Sopharanatoth in the 18th Uncrowned King Tournament
