Spiritual Blademastery

1
You possess a mastery of longswords.
Used by Robert "Xy" King, Created by Xystian.

Every attack the user makes with a longsword seems to carry a level of control to it, their eyes left with clear focus with every strike.
Each of the user's attacks leaves a faint white, misty trail behind it, as every strike is bolstered by the user's intense focus given energetic form.

You also gain the following effects:
