The Soul’s Blade
FireDescrição
The shugenja extends a hand toward the sky and makes a dangerous appeal, calling for a heavenly weapon with which to vanquish their enemy. If the invocation is performed properly and the shugenja’s cause is judged worthy, the sky cracks and a thunderbolt descends from the heavens, blasting through anything in its path. It lands writhing in the shugenja's hand, forming a weapon that appears in the shape pictured in the shugenja's mind. Be it the hide of a great beast or the sorcerous ward of a mahō-tsukai, there is nothing this blade of judgment cannot pierce.

- Ativação
As a Support action, you may make a TN 4 Theology (Fire) check to summon forth a blade of pure energy into your hand.
- Efeitos
If you succeed, you summon and ready a katana or naginata (see Weapons, on page 230) made of searing, crackling energy. Attacks made with this weapon inflict supernatural damage and ignore all forms of resistance. The weapon persists until it leaves your grip or until the end of the scene, at which point it flickers out.
