Blade of Mershi
More actions
The Blades of Mershi are Relic-Class Artifacts from a bygone era. The only known one is currently owned by Lehra Ruinstrider.
Appearance
The artifact is a single vambrace made of starmetal that is like silver, with a glittering jewel that is as black as night, with tiny glitters like the celestial bodies in the center.[1]
Overview
The Blade of Mershi, which is contained in the magical gauntlet, is one of the last relic of the Walled City of Stars, a long-lost Drake city. They are relic-class weapons that are powerful enough to promote a Silver-ranked Adventurer to Named-ranked directly. There are rumors that they are a key clue to greater treasures, such as the fabled Forge of the Star Dragon, an artifact or perhaps treasury of power belonging to Dragons.[1] The Blade is inhabited by the spirit of Saturniel Cometscale[2] who can sometimes speak to or even possess Lehra.[3]
Enchantments
Bearer Chooser
The spirit in the artifact is able to choose who can use and activate its enchantments. Those not chosen will not be able to use it. In order to be chosen, the wielder must answer the spirit's question: "Who are our enemies?". The correct answer is "No one".[2] It is activated by rising the arm that it is worn on, and shouting the activation phrase.[1]

The Blade of Mershi's activation phrase
It is currently unknown if a deactivating phrase is required.
Armor Conjuration
By shouting the activation phrase, the Artefact and bearer will glow in an instance of light as it conjures and covers its bearer in the same starmetal armor as the vambrace. The armor consist of a smooth, segmented Drake’s armor, complete with a headpiece and a tailpiece.[1]
Weapon Conjuration
In its active state, the bearer can manifest several different weapons, which include, but may not be limited to, a sword and shield, a spear, and a halberd. The spear can pierce a high magical barrier.[1]
Durability
The Vambrace Artefact, and its conjured Armor and Weapons, are all made of a starmetal, a type of metal alloy that is like silver, but even more advanced than mithril as it breaks to nothing. The starmetal armor can effortlessly block a Tier 5 spell.[1]
Magic Cloaking
The Artifact is cloaked from [Detect Magic] like Spells.[4]
