In this fashion, she discovered what it could do.  Shes been experimenting with it ever since, and has learned to use it create the effects availble to a signature item.  IN the case of bonuses to attack or damage, she normally dazzles an enemy with the blue light just before she thrusts home with her sword!  <br/><br/>Note, I believe she was still technically a customer rather than an employ while this started happening, she eventually went up on deck to learn the ropes, and is now able to serve as crew 'til she can save up the money for her next expedition.  (Perhaps the treasure in the woods would help?  :)  )<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Okay.<br/><br/>Given the abstraction of stuff in 2nd ed, you can go ahead and use it in place of the main gauche for fighting. It will work okay in a 'counts as' there.<br/><br/>If you want it to be able to do other weird stuff, we can discuss that :)
