"Really, I don't want it. Only talks in Spanish about books, and will beg, BEG for you to give him a puff of your cigarette. Belonged to some writing nerd. But it's loyal, and will help you keep any foes where you want them to. Use it how you will, and there's no returns if you get tired of it!"

**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.
