**The Prismfang Katana**

A weapon that **commands attention without excess**—every detail is engineered for **precision, beauty, and intimidation**.

**Blade**
The blade is made from an **unknown crystalline alloy**, looking **almost like polished glass**, but impossibly strong. Unlike traditional katanas, it has a **razor-straight spine with a subtle inward curve**, blending ancient craftsmanship with a futuristic edge. The surface shifts between **mirror-like reflection and prismatic shimmer**, scattering light in mesmerizing, controlled patterns rather than chaotic bursts.

When moved, the blade refracts light **just enough to distort its surroundings**, creating a subtle, almost **mirage-like effect**. The edge itself has a **faint, geometric engraving**, its patterns **changing subtly when viewed from different angles**—as if the sword is adjusting itself to its wielder's intent.

#### **Hilt & Guard**
The hilt is **wrapped in a seamless, synthetic weave**—cool to the touch and **adaptive to grip pressure**. Instead of a traditional tsuba (guard), the katana features a **sleek, angular frame** that extends slightly outward, glowing faintly with an **internal energy pulse** that reacts to motion. The glow isn't excessive—just enough to make it **noticeable in dim light**, a controlled beacon of deadly elegance.

At the pommel, there is a **small, embedded gemstone-like node** that serves as both an energy regulator and a counterweight, ensuring **perfect balance in any grip or stance**.

#### **Presence & Effect**
- **When drawn, it leaves a soft, fading trail of light,** as if the blade itself is slicing through existence with calculated intent.
