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.

  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)
