Carlyle calls to the slumbering spirits that rest within the ancient weapons he spent so long restoring. Carlyle takes his hands and covers the weapon he desires to restore to its former glory. It takes about a minute for him to awaken the specter that waits for the day that it can rise again. He slides his hand across the blade as the rust, wear, and tear from all the years of lack of use just disappear. The weapon is as powerful and glorious as the day it was forged. For the next hour, it is even more powerful than it was before. But, after this hour, the weapon tries to catch up to this use and ends up in even worse condition than when it was restored.

After the Effect ends, any upgraded targets suffer a -2 extra dice dice penalty until they are either repaired or upgraded again.
Amy brings her hand to her chest and closes her eyes for a moment. There is a burst of light - her inner light - before it spreads over her in a flash, her clothes transforming into her Regalia.
Although she looks similar in a way, she also seems to age. It's not quite a physical transformation, but there's a bit of that. It's mostly... she bares the weight of previous lives on her, a certain gravitas. Unless her transformation is witnessed by someone with their own eyes, they'll automatically doubt any attempt to link the identities.
In her mundane identity a Princess is barely more magical than the average man, but in her transformed identity... Ah, what a difference that is. Magic flows through her body; it is on the level of blood or bone. Her magic makes her stronger, more charismatic, or smarter.
Under magical examination a Princess can see that spells and enchantments are as much a part of her body as carbon atoms or neurotransmitters.
Dual Identity: An innate magical effect common to all Princesses, Dual Identity makes it exceptionally difficult to realise a Princess’ mundane and transformed identities are the same person.
