Homebrew Daiklave

The Blade of the Loving Mother is a fearsome weapon once wielded by a Solar who's name has since been lost to time, just as she herself was lost when the Dragon Beyond the World set upon the unit she commanded and scattered them to the four winds.

The blade itself is a ornately wrought Short Orichalcum Daiklave that looks as though someone wrapped a rose vine around a standard daiklave.  On one side of the blade itself is inscribed the Scripture of the One-Handed Maiden.  The lettering is Old Realm, and formed of Starmetal.

The sheathe is also made of Orichalcum and carries the Scripture of the Maiden at War, also inscribed with Starmetal.

By taking the sheath in hand and spending 5 motes of essence, the wielder of the sheath can project a dazzling light that blinds her foes.  This imposes an internal penalty equal to the wielder's Essence against all attacks against her that originate within 100 yards, whether her DV applies to such an attack or not.  This effect does not apply to blind attackers, or attackers that avert their gaze from the wielder.  For an additional 5m, 1wp the wielder can extend this protection to up to (Essence x 2) others, provided they all stay within 100 yards of the wielder.  The light (and effect) cease instantly if the wielder ceases to hold the sheath for any reason.
