War Fan of the Resplendent Burning Phoenix
The famous War Fan of the Resplendent Burning Phoenix is a treasure that once belonged to the great hero and warlord, Youhei.
The War Fan of the Resplendent Burning Falcon is a large war fan, made from specially made of special, golden-colored folding steel, and mithral for the "skeleton" of the fan. As with most war fans, the edges are razor-sharp. The golden folding steel is also painted masterfully with images of a multicolored phoenix, soaring over a landscape of forests and mountains.
It is said that Golden Pinions Youhei, an hero and warrior of ancient times, possessed the War Fan, and used it in battle along with his enchanted sword, Furious Tiger Talon. It is certainly an artifact worthy of the great Youhei, who is said to have slain a hundred war spirits in a single day. While this is most certainly an exaggeration, Youhei was an extremely potent figher.
Magical Properties:
The War Fan of the Resplendent Burning Phoenix is merely a beautiful but normal war fan, until the magic words ("Silent Dawning") are spoken, at which point, the phoenix illustration upon the fan becomes animate and it's eyes flash like stars. The War Fan is then activated.
Once the fan is activated, one needs only to fan the Fan, as it were, and small sparks of sunfire will blow out on the breeze and ignite into miniature shining points of fire. These detonate into a blast of sunfire when they come in contact with a resisting surface (i.e., a body, a wall, water, a creature)

A richly described item with an effective attack. I hope that not too many sparks blow out or the effect could get out of control.
Well what was I supposed to say, eh?
'One only needs to produce an air current by alternating the up-down position of the Fan?' 'One only needs to sweep the fan up and down again?'
I said what was most logical and simple.
I like the rich description of this item, and can easily imagine it. Now, I dont particularly care for the power, wafting about miniature fireballs and such. If I might add my idea, such as it is...
Once the fan is activated, one needs only to fan the Fan, as it were, and...ithe edge of the fan is illuminated in a wreath of celestial flame. This flame causes no damage to the weilder of the fan, but deals devastating wounds to the corporeal undead, as well as driving away spirits of illness, the dark, and evil. Such spirits and persons of exceptionally evil character must overcome the radiance of the fan to attempt to attack the bearer.
If folded, the fan can be invoked, and will wreath itself in phoenixflame, but instead of causing injury, the folded fan can be used as an aid in attempts to heal the sick or injured. The great Hero Youhei touched a man burning with fever, and spoke the seven words of the whole body, and tapped him in the seven chakras with the folded fan. The man was alieved of his fever and sprang to the Hero's said completely cured of his illness./i
i pray that I have not taken to many liberties, Cap'n.
'Tis good, Scras. ;)
I love this item and will definitely snag the idea.
Lovely Piece
I has hooked from the start and was saddened that there was not more to read...
