Description

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

One of the sorceries of the Carian royal family.

Conjures a magic sword and delivers a swift sweeping slash. This sorcery can be used without delay after performing another action.

Even among the Carian sword sorceries, this is a notably effective technique.

Acquisition

Purchase: Limgrave / Liurnia of the Lakes / Academy of Raya Lucaria / Roundtable Hold

• Sold for 1,500 Runes by Sorceress Sellen, Miriel, Pastor of Vows or Preceptor Seluvis after giving either of them the Royal House Scroll.
• Should the scroll be given to one of them and then have that instructor die before purchasing this Sorcery, then the player can still purchase it from the Twin Maiden Husks for the same price, after giving them the respective tutor's Bell Bearing.
  • WARNING: Should all three of Sellen, Miriel, and Seluvis die before giving any of them the scroll then this sorcery becomes unavailable for that character until a new Journey is started.

Effect

The caster conjures a magic sword and swiftly performs a sweeping motion from one side to the other. Further input performs the same motion from the other side. Casting the spell after attacking with a weapon, jumping, dodging, running, creates the magic sword without delay.
