Level Four Artifact
Orichalcum Bracers
Orichalcum Prayer Strips, with delicate starmetal engravings, crafted into the form of a bracer, Coranth's Perfected Kata Bracers were hand-made by Twilight Martial Artist and Artificer Larquen Quen. The prayers engraved on the bracers themselves are somewhat sacrilegious, even baudy, telling the tale of the Maiden of Plenty who was a virgin handmaiden of the Unconquered Sun by day, and a temple prostitute in the service of Luna by night. Despite this, the bracers themselves are perfectly effective in every way, a testament to the ability of their creator.
While it's known that Coranth and Larquen were courteous enemies toward the end of the First Age, the Bracers themselves actually date significantly earlier into the First Age than their rivalry and were most likely a prank between friends.
The Bracer's themselves fell into the care of Michaes only a few weeks after the Usurpation, when Coranth passed them and several other items (now long since spent in the Ages since) into the care of the older Lunar. Except for a brief period when the Bracers were used by a young Lunar Hero during the invasion of the Fair Folk, some 800 years ago, they have remained in Michaes' care.
The bracers effects come into play whenever the attuned user activates a Form-type Charm, and last for the rest of the scene, adding Essence to the character's Accuracy, Damage and Defense with unarmed attacks and the favored weapons of the active Form-type charm's style. In addition, she may choose to inflict either Bashing or Lethal damage at will, and may parry lethal atacks unarmed.
Attunement cost is 8 motes.
Due to their Orichalcum construction, Misati's Bracers enable her (or other harmonized users) to inflict aggravated damage upon Creatures of Darkness.
