The Paradox Klaive

Level 5, Gnosis 7

A paradox klaive has had a special sort of spirit bound into it, namely a Paradox spirit (those same ones that plague irresponsible mages). These spirits are not easy to find, and less easy to tame, thus making these fetishes stupifyingly rare. Regardless of that, the use of one of these weapons can be dangerous.

Against mages that have accumulated any Paradox in their pattern, a successful hit with this weapon requires a Willpower check by the victim at a difficulty of 8 to avoid releasing all the Paradox at once. Needless to say, this can be extremely distressing for mages and those in their immediate vicinity.

When wielded in combat against any sort of faerie, each damage success rolled also inflicts a point of Banality. This does not tend to attract the affection of changelings, either.

Attacking a creature of the Wyld, or any other being that has its roots in primal Chaos, is a Bad Idea. This certainly includes the dread Nexus Crawlers. The effects of this are left up to the Storyteller, but an automatic Warp Reality effect (as the Nexus Crawler charm) is recommended. Optionally, this effect can drain up to 5 points of Power per hit.
