Tsuki no Kokoro
December 12th, 2009The blade that once belonged to Malik’s grandfather was originally thought to be an idiosyncratic form of greatsword. But with proper form, it acts as a katana.

The sword’s name, Tsuki no Kokoro, is revealed in moonlight as a subtle patterning of strange characters worked into the blade, and derives from the sword style mastered by its first wielder. “Tsuki no kokoro” is difficult to translate accurately, but its literal meaning of “mind like the moon” is intended to remind its wielder of the need for whole-battlefield awareness, patience, and a readiness based on freedom from expectations.
The sword has multiple daily-use powers. Note that the number of item daily powers that can be used is limited by your character’s level.

Tsuki no Kokoro seems to be unusually sharp and has an edge that takes exceptionally well to honing. It is not clear if practice, luck, or circumstance will express further powers of the blade.
