Please can someone quote me for the following:

Name: Kadingar
Type: Iai Sword (modified Katana with no curve)
Material: Prevailda
Quality: Masterwork

Flavour text (for Shinsou's profile):

Kadingar was forged by Telos Soltair, Shinsou's father, after the events of The Redemption of Tylmerande. Incorporating the special metal gained from melting down Enpera (Shinsou's original sword) into its design, Kadingar is comprised of a Prevailda compound that has not only strengthened the blade, but also Shinsou's spiritual connection to the weapon. The hilt is comprised of a traditional feudal grip, wrapped in black and gold cord, and the blade's metal is tinted slightly golden.

So fine is the cutting edge of the blade that each swing emits a light note, and this has caused many to believe that the Raiaerans (famous for their enchantments) were involved in its design, although this is untrue.

Enchantment:

Once per thread, for a duration of four posts, Kadingar allows Shinsou to draw on the sword's power and enter an enhanced state of being.

In this state, Shinsou's reactions are enhanced to 6x that of a normal human, for four posts. This allows him to process information much more quickly, allowing him to react to events much faster than his base self.

Once Shinsou's berserk state ends, the Telgradian spends the next in-character post in a state of debuff. His reactions fall to HALF of that of a normal human.

Admin note:

My calculations show this to originally have cost 2,250 GP, but after the 30% Bazaar sale discount to be around the 1,575 GP mark. This is based on a Katana (size 2), Prevailda base metal (300) with Masterwork quality (x1.5) and high level enchantment (x2.5). Please feel free to sense check my shit, and let me know if the enchantment is approvable.

Thanks for making those deductions.

In terms of 'berserk' mode, when you state three times the current stat, are you meaning a multiplaction or addition? I.e. if he was currently level 2 in strength, then would it get to 6 or 5?

Also I'd argue the 'one effect, one ability' rule here for multiple enchantments as it enhances more than one bare stat. I'm happy to discuss this though.

Nice weapon idea though.

You've got a bloody good point there.

I've edited the enchantment, which hopefully is now going to be more straightforward and less costly! :D

Yup. Makes more sense now. I'll just get it sorted.
