Susano-Ō pulled Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi from the tail of the dragon he slew and gifted it to his sister Amaterasu as an apology for his irresponsible behavior. Later, numerous emperors wielded it, until it fell into the hands of the prince Yamato Takeru. The sword earned its name when Yamato was trapped by an enemy warlord in a large field that burned on every side. He sliced at the grass to remove the fuel from the flame and discovered Kusanagi’s power to control the winds. Corralling the fire toward his ambushers, he soundly defeated them as they fled. Scions to whom the blade falls gain control of the field of battle in clever ways, using the environment to gain advantages and slipping away from unwinnable fights like leaves on the breeze.

HERALD OF VICTORY
Cost: Spend 1 Legend; Duration: One Scene; Subject: One side of a battle; Range: Long; Action: Simple
Your blessing promises victory. All characters on the side of your choice in a fight (whether physical or not) gain Enhancement 1 on all actions. If you are passively observing a battle between unrelated parties (i.e. none of her allies are involved), you can use this Boon for free to favor one side.
Flaws:
- The relic is hidden in Jae's arm as a tattoo. It only functions when he says: Nalu. ⚫
- Relic is volatile and causes an attack of some kind on everyone within short range if destroyed or pushed beyond its normal limits, or if user rolls a botch for its use. ⚫⚫⚫
