Physical Description

Special abilities

• Soul Manipulation

Soul Manipulation is the ability to interact with one's soul or the souls of others. This ability ranges from being able to project the power of one's soul outward, grasping and ripping the souls of others out of their bodies, and outright consuming souls to gain power, among other applications.

• SOUL-Clone

The skill to manifest one's own SOUL into the physical space to aid them when in peril. SOUL-Clones are equal to the power of their Master, but if multiple SOUL-Clones are summoned, the total power is divided among them equally. SOUL-Clones can move through physical objects and change their density at will, but can only wield celestial treasures. The danger of using this technique is that if the clone is destroyed or taken, the summoner loses their actual SOUL. Sword Kings love to employ this technique despite the risk because they can impose their Sword Logic onto the very structure of the SOUL-Clone, creating a Perfected Sword Art, one without flaws. Additionally, SOUL-Clones can directly wound the souls of other beings.

• SOUL Teleportation

The ability to move instantaneously from one location to another without physically occupying the space in between. It can often be a form of spatial manipulation quantum manipulation or magic. In some cases, it allows you to move not only in space but in time, between dimensions, parallel worlds, and metaphysical planes. It also includes all sorts of pseudo-teleportation.

❖

Balkyth teleports by moving his SOUL-Clone to a location in space-time on a physical level. SOULs automatically return to their host bodies when summoned, but via his master of Science and Physics and as an EIght Arts Mage, Balkyth inverts this principle by imposing the Law of Inverse Operations to this attribute, so that his body snaps back to wherever his SOUL happens to be (to use this effectively as Balkyth does even in the heat of combat, one needs high cognitive functions and lighting fast reaction speed to move their SOUL and then their body). Balkyth does not need line-of-sight nor does he need to know where his SOUL is or where he is sending it. It could be Realms away and with this technique, it is moments away.

Balkyth's Sword Logic: Cosmic Harmonism

According to Cosmic Harmonism, the universe is akin to a vast orchestra, where each celestial body, from the smallest subatomic particle to the grandest galaxy, plays a unique note in the symphony of existence. Space is seen as the grand stage upon which this cosmic orchestra performs, while time is the rhythm and tempo that guides the progression of the symphony. In this philosophy, every individual being, whether human or celestial, is considered a sentient note in the universal composition. Each entity possesses its own frequency, vibration, or "cosmic tone." The interactions and alignments between these cosmic tones create a harmonious or dissonant resonance that shapes the unfolding of events and experiences within the cosmic symphony. This philosophy draws inspiration from various sources, including certain mystical traditions, quantum physics, and the concept of mindfulness.

• The Logic of the Harmonious Blade: The Final Orchestra

Via meditation and understanding, one can come into unison with the cosmos, moving in step with the sway of the great tree YGGDRASIL. Once mastered, the wielder can employ Everywhereness, a form of cosmic awareness and instantiation that allows a being to exist in its entirety in multiple places at once.

• The Logic of the Harmonious Blade: Symphony of Stars

Know the stars, study them, and understand them wholly. Symphony of Stars is a Technique of the Cosmic Harmonism Sword Logic that brings any constellation of stars into unison, moving together. Sword Kings of this Logic can use this harmony to their advantage to empower their Techniques and bodily functions to their penultima.

• Throne World Technique: Everything Everywhere All At Once

This Throne World is an extension of the Cosmic Harmonism Sword Logic, when cast it forcibly scatters a sentient Consciousness into the very yoke of creation, into everything everywhere all at once. They experience the whole of creation and have their mind scattered throughout it. For all intents and purposes, it acts as a one-shot guaranteed hit to scatter the mind of an opponent, rendering them harmless. However, this Throne World requires a short ritual to cast and it does not work on beings who can guard their mind against mental attacks.

Specialized Equipment

1. God Shattering Star: An Ōdachi style sword forged by The Purple Mage so many ages ago, awarded to Prince Balkyth by the Académie de l'Arcane when he completed his magical studies there before starting his pilgrimage. The Celestial Prism Blade, God Shattering Star is a weapon of immense power and symbol of the Arcane LIneage, to wield it is to invite challenge itself.
   Engr, the Bronze Bull: One of the first successful swords ever forged by Prince Balkyth while he studied at the Académie de l'Arcane. It was a longsword, a style of weapon he would later come to favor, but was dingy and imperfect. Balkyth would maintain the blade and iterate on it serval times until it was capable of holding its own against Knights and Warriors. It earned its name the "Bronze Bull" for its color and stubbornness.
   Sword Arm Balkyth I: The 1st Sword Arm Lord Balkyth ever forged as a long sword with a regal design and flowing ribbons on its hilt. Unlike other Sword Arms, this weapon is closer in design to a Celestial Treasure and can only be wielded by Balkyth's Soul Clone or in Mental Mindscapes. However, when wielded, like all Sword Arms, it amplifies Balkyth's power. Dublar, Vowmaker: A ceremonial dagger gifted to people in the Oni culture, a gift from his Oni wife. It was the only gift she ever gave him during their marriage and he carried it on his person at all times. Among the Oni, promises are sacred and to make a promise without one's Vowmaker was seen as a taboo. Al-Spada & Sword Arm Balkyth II: The 2nd and 3rd Sword Arms created from Balkyth's immense power. They are both Niuweidao-style weapons, each also imbued with a Kiss from the Wind and Tears from the Stars. When used together, they could conjure powerful winds and devastating magical fire. Sword Arm Balkyth Regal: The final Sword Arm constructed by Lord Balkyth before his death, this longsword had a wide face and long blade, it could be wielded in both the physical and mental worlds and was sentient, capable of fighting on its own accord at Balkyth's command. Most notably, if damaged or destroyed, it could put itself back together, even when shattered and broken down into ashes. Each time it was reforged, it grew back stronger. Vendalail, Bane of Darkness: An Elven longsword Lord Balkyth forged in Alfheim with a blade from pure Light to be used against beings of Darkness. Despite it being made from raw Alfheim Light, dipped directly into the Well of Brilliance, Balkyth never used it. Vendalail was arguably his most powerful Sword but the charge on it was limited, and trips to Alfheim were few and far between. Sword Arm Balkyth Requiem: This legendary weapon could only be summoned if Sword Arm Balkyth I & II were combined with Sword Arm Balkyth Regal, birthing an elegant and ornate Zweihander that can cut through space and time, imbued with the very idea of Balkyth's Sword Logic. To even manifest it, one needs an intimate knowledge of Physics, Space & Time Constant-Variables, and Astronomy. This weapon manifested over half of Balkyth's full power and amplified him by a magnitude of thrice that when summoned. Requiem was unbreakable, it could be wielded by the body, mind, or SOUL, and was capable of wounding celestials. Realm Blade Skapariheimr (Creator + Land): Skapariheimr was a land under the rule of a Clan of Gods known as the Hierophant Gods. They were linked to the land and the land linked to them, to leave Skapariheimr was to surrender their power. They tried to circumvent this by turning Skapariheimr into a legendary sword, Realm Blade Skapariheimr (RBS), resulting in the death of one of the Ophidians, incurring the wrath of the Gilded Court. Balkyth was implemented in the crime as he laid the blueprints for the weapon but was ultimately found not guilty. RBS wields the power of the Hierophant Deities. It also possesses its own Throne World Technique, Land of the Creators, which can pull others into Skapariheimr to face the Hierophant Deities, subservient to whoever wields the weapon. Star Javelin Model Balkyth: This a sword-staff that is the embodiment of Balkyth's immense SOUL, a weapon he used with caution and reserve as its destruction would prevent him from entering the 50 Dead Worlds. With it, the full might of his power and potential can be brought to bear. It can also fully manifest his Sword Logic. The Last Verse of Balkyth's Death Song: Upon his death, Balkyth released the last verse in the Song which is his life, an ability he had as one who knew the Word ENDINGS and was not afraid of his own. This greatsword is a purely spiritual one, which can only be wielded by the SOUL. It was left at the place of his death and can only be taken by one who already knows the full Song of Balkyth. After they sing it, they may claim the sword. It provides negligible power amplification but contains the entire life and memories of Lord Balkyth, distilled into a sword, a relic, and a monument to his Sword Logic and life.
