| Description: | The Moonblade spell channels the light-fire of the moons into a lightweight rapier-like blade excellent for slashing and thrusting. The blade is sturdy, but lasts only for a short while, and may never leave your hand. Those with greater knowledge in heavier edges will find that their created weapons will reflect this talent, becoming aptly suited for that skill. | |
| Example Messaging: | Katamba: A shadow deeper than night oozes into existence in your right hand and coalesces into a long narrow moonblade of dull black which seems to absorb light itself.
Xibar: A shaft of intense white light leaps into being in your right hand and coalesces into a long narrow moonblade of glossy blue-white diamond-hard metal. Yavash: A shaft of ruby-red light leaps into being in your right hand and coalesces into a long narrow moonblade of some fiery, almost liquid substance. Using your right hand, you grasp the flat of the moonblade and try to mold it into a new shape. Using your left hand, you grasp the flat of the moonblade and try to mold it into a new shape. You focus intently on the moonblade, attempting to align your spell casting with its matrix. You attempt to thread your spell through your moonblade. You hold your red-hot moonblade in front of you and make a ritualized sweeping motion toward the ceiling. You gesture at a cold blue-white moonblade. | |

Notes
- You can BREAK a moonblade to create slivers to use for Telekinetic Throw. The ability to break slivers off of a moonblade is based on the Magical Devices skill.
- Not all Moonblades can be used to hold spells. The capacity and difficulty to use any Moonblade depends on the power of the magic used to create it. When capturing spells, the spell should be cast as normal. Spells will come out of Moonblade exactly as they went in: if you "cast moonblade," it will be treated as though you intend to cast the spell on the Moonblade. A moonblade cannot hold an offense type spell.
- 26 mana is required to get one node.
