An item in: FTaWSotR
Owner: Azuma
Item Type: Magical Longsword
Attributes: Weight - 0.1 lbs.
Abilities: Developed its own consciousness. Projects defensive barriers. Regenerative property. Gives the wielder amazing defensive prowess.

The Sentience longsword is Azuma's most valued possession. Its blade is composed of mithrilic gold, rendering it almost weightless. Its hilt is made from obsidian darkwood, giving out a firm grip. Despite this, the blade is harmless. It cannot hurt a being, or a conscious, sentient being to be specific. For unknown reasons, the blade developed a sense of consciousness, its own sentience. It saw how it was used to kill, to harm, to destroy many lives, other living, sentient beings. It decided on itself that it wants to protect, never to harm life, to nurture it.

The blade's prowess coalesces with the wielder, giving him superior swordsmanship but not, in any means, infallible. The blade leans on the defensive property, providing the wielder superb defensive maneuvers and amazing parrying prowess. It can project a field of protective shield of varying size, ranging from 13' to 20m, or even large enough to cover a whole building though projecting a field of this magnitude taxes it, rendering it unable to project barriers of moderate size. It also has a strong regenerating property that its wielder can benefit on or give to others, though it can only do this once in every 42 hours.

It can project its thoughts on current happening but is by no means a mind-controlling blade but it can, and will, throw a tantrum making it a useless, mundane blade if it deems an action of its wielder against its own consciousness. It can even be a good conversation partner. It seems it glows blue when it projects its thoughts on the wielder.

The Sentience does not choose to whom it will let be wielded but it chooses to whom it will be used by.
