Back to the 100 Swords of Sepathok

<< Blanksword, The Void Blade | The Sixth Blade of Undueling >>

Phoebe, The Fifth Blade of Undueling

Gragnakas was ever the believer that duels should be cool. Late one night, he realized that duels could be fought the boring old way, but when reviewed backwards they can seem much cooler. Dropping off an object can turn into a mighty leap, fierce and unskilled sparring can be given an odd, ballet-like quality. He immediatley set about making a sword, that when it was used in a duel, would instantly reverse time, and have the duel play out backwards to the rest of the world. This extremely tricky bit of Chronosorcery contributed (among a lot of reasons) to Gragnakas missing his deadline. It also meant that the first four sword swallowed themselves up with temporal paradoxes, and it even seemed as the fifth one had, until it rematerialised just after the forging of the sixth one. Gragnakas threw them both into the collection, hoping to recoup some of the time he had wasted.

Sepathok once used the sword. It wasn't really that impressive, and required a lot of choreography to look cool.
