The Bane of Circumstance



The Bane of Circumstance (Rrarrgre Krearrngrae in Dragonspek) was a blade created over the course of 50,000 years by The Brass Knights using the ancient powers of The Absolutes. It was perfected sometime near the year 8900/8.Nul"o/0000. It has been the focus of many conflicts over the years due to it's odd properties.

Appearance
The Bane is a four foot long blade shaped like a constantly shifting flame. The blade itself is split up into pieces fitting together and floating close to each other but with gaps of around half an inch between them. Each piece is fully bladed all the way around and can be separated though the will of the wielder easily, however they will not come apart accidentally. Each small blade piece also changes shape with the entirety of the sword retaining their mass but moving like whips flames of their own. The hilt is solid black and made of a leather like material with an obsidian like gemstone in each protrusion of the hilt. Covering the entire blade is a transparent white flame that also stays around each shard if removed but only if they are in contact with a member of a race of Man.

Special Properties
The Bane's most special and unique property is the Absolutist power to cut anything, figurative or physical. It can cut a persons life in two, it can cut the tension in a room, or simply cleave a solid block of Trony"em in two with almost no resistance.

It's other noticeable ability is it's ability to be separated into smaller blades, though it looses an absolute concept for each piece detached. For example: if the piece dealing with the concept of cutting someones life in half is removed, the blade removed will be able to act on this power on it's own but the whole blade will loose that power.
