Ok, here comes the fluff and stats of the artifacts as well.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Two Tides (set)</div><div class="spoiler_body">(Black Jade) Daiklave = "Large Tide"<br/>Spd: 4  Acc: +2 Dmg: +6L/2 Def: +4 Rate: 3<br/><br/>(Blue Jade) Short Daiklave = "Quick Tide"<br/>Spd: 3 Acc: +2 Dmg: +4L/2 Def: +1   Rate: 4<br/><br/>These daiklaves, one short and one regular size, double bladed well balanced blades were build with oceanic themes and as twins. The small gods used imbue magic during forging process are siblings, other being older and other is younger. As usual with siblings they are competitive to each other and also different, but when working together they are devastating duo.<br/><br/>The smiths in War Manse 13 studied and watched style practiced by Yolhu Tides, learn basics of the style and know that the style favors simple weapons; daiklaves, spears and fists. But more than that; style itself is all about balance of elements and motions of the body to maximize simple actions with grace and power.<br/><br/>So they forged blades in mind for that style; dual daiklaves would work as style has no rules regarding using two weapons at once (daiklave fist, spear and kick or daiklave, daiklave followed by kick, all are valid moves). Reason for short daiklaves not used, despite their practical manner how they can fit for narrow quarters or militia, is lack of reach.<br/><br/>So solution to this in balance is that shorter daiklave was given enchantment which allows uncanny manner extend thrusting power in form of 'essence spike' which slides from tip of the short daiklave. So for slashing the short daiklave remains short but short daiklaves are usually favored for fast and swift strikes, so short daiklave of the pair was designed for thrusting only, rapid thrusting at that as the essence spike forms only through high speed thrust. When not in use, the weapon serves perfectly well for parrying thanks it's swiftness and able protect where larger blade would be slower to respond.<br/><br/>Where as daiklave other hand has all acceptable reach normal for the style and needed no additional adjustments. Names of the blades naturally came (by lack of imagination) from their owner; Yolhu Tides.<br/></div></div>
