DESCRIPTION:
FEAR-GLÈIDHIDH CREIDIMH OR 'FAITHKEEPER' - OR 'AGATHA' - This sword has the authentic details of a Celtic sword of Auld. It has a leaf-shaped blade forged from high quality iron and steel. The hilt is crafted from the rich, polished wood from an unknown tree in the Fae Kingdom, with solid brass accents on the guard and pommel. Each sword given by the Fae to a member of a Clan is a little different and is attuned to that particular family. The MacKinlay sword is decorated with Fae white gold on the hilt in the shape of a crescent moon and white gold thread running along the length of the studded, leather scabbard as shafts of light. Measurements: Total Length: 54.5 Inches; Blade Length: 46.5 Inches; Hilt Length: 10.75 Inches.
CONSUMABLE?: Hell, no.
DESIRED EFFECT: This ritual will bond Cameron to the sword, which he calls ‘Agatha’. As Seneschal – ‘Hereditary Steward’ – of the sword, known as Claidheamh Soluis – “Glaive of Light” – Cameron is the only person who can use the sword properly when it comes to accessing the magic. There are limitations of who can even use the sword as just a regular sword. Cameron has no problem using it.
All things being equal, the sword is in much better tune with him than it was with his father. It will not fight him when he tries to use it or delay activating its abilities when requested. The sword will provide light to the wielder and his companions upon the Seneschal’s request. The light can be directed to increase in intensity in order for him to see and in order to harm a creature of Darkness should it/they move within a certain radius of the sword. For Cameron, this can be as much as fifteen to twenty feet away. This light is, ostensibly, the light of the Fae Moon and creatures of Darkness are said not to be able to tolerate it, similar to the way a vampire cannot (usually) survive being exposed to sunlight.
The sword will exact more damage per slice/thrust than it did with Cameron’s father and more than a normal sword could be expected to do. The power is not unlike that of a two-handed Claymore or an early Medieval Scottish longsword, as if swung by a giant. For the wielder, it is not as heavy or as cumbersome as those examples and slices and dices with ease.
The sword can be used as a beacon, like a flare, to summon assistance.
