Young Prodigy

Requires Seasoned
You possess a mastery of Swords.
Used by Cedric Rhodes, Created by carticat.

You wield the blade with a grace and precision that borders on the supernatural. Your movements are fluid, almost mesmerizing as if you're dancing with the weapon rather than wielding it. Each strike is executed with pinpoint accuracy and your footwork is impeccable, keeping your opponents at the perfect distance.

Ever since your teenage years, you have been bewitchingly talented with a blade on top of having been rigorously trained by the finest warriors at the Lasair Nicneven. Many in the order have theorised that his unreal talent levels stem from being blessed by Nicneven herself.
