― do not unsheathe me without reason,
do not wield me without valor.

PHYSICAL PROWESS      --      being a tool of war means a trained body and mind. though opting more to use other instruments and tools for her disposal, she is surprisingly good at close combat; despite her appearance. her strength is above expectations; though speed is more what she depends on. additionally, she is not effected by injury in the traditional sense; she could be impaled but continue fighting due to the nature of her manifestations.

SWORD MASTERY      --     taking one to know one; wielding a sword, though she feels no need to do so being one, is as natural as breathing. she uses it more when transforming pieces of herself into blades.

BLADE MANIPULATION / TRANSMUTATION      --      the ability to transform her body, or parts of her body, into a blade. it can either be one part of her body or multiple. this is done at will. she can also turn her physical form into several different types of blade, should the wielder at the time have a preferred weapon. different parts of the blade can also manifest into different blades simultaneously; e.g. a leg as a sword, an arm as an axe.

WEAPONRY POSSESSION      --     the ability to possess another weapon, enhancing it with her own capabilities & enforcing it's pre - existing capabilities, in essence making the weapon stronger for as long as she possesses it. though this can also be used to combat the weapon's innate abilities, rendering it null.

ÈQUILIBRE      --      the calm & the clarity, the eye of the storm. this ability neutralizes the surrounding area. supernatural influence has no effect on the zone surrounding the blade, meaning those within have to depend entirely on skill. this is shown by the battlefield being covered in iridescent flowers. for the wielder, this means they too can bring balance to the battlefield. the closer the opponent comes, the more their abilities are rendered null.

S'EPANOUIR      --      to reap. the blade absorbs the elemental / energy effects of another ( e.g., absorbing the flames of a mage's fire ) to either harness that energy, or to repel it back toward the original caster. for the wielder, they may use Juliet to absorb incoming attacks to release later, or store their own latent power within to unleash in tandem with her own; magnified by her own innate ability.

LABYRINTHE DE LAMES      --    to call upon the garden of swords. sinking a limb into the earth does then summon a flurry of additional blades, piercing the battlefield itself with steel. let the garden erupt with the blossoms of battle. for the wielder, the same influence of the field can be granted by plunging the blade into any material - including buildings, including even organics.

EN MÉMOIRE      --      to rise to the call of arms. ghostly visages of previous forms answer to beckons && calls. in spectral form do they dance in tandem of the blade's steps. this can also reflect in the battlefield alternate stages; often taking the form of lakes or fields of flowers; the swordmaiden's preferred settings. for the wielder, the same may be done. let them join the song of war; let their knowledge serve them.
