Through interaction with proper Tradition mages (including chantrymates) and time spent in Tradition horizon realms such as the Pharos of Abkazia, Sasayama, and Victoria Station, Kana has become vaguely aware of how the nine traditions distinguish themselves and the nine spheres of magic. Her own paradigm does not recognise the spheres as somehow metaphysically discrete, nor the specific practices of any of the Traditions as particularly complete. A mage of a given tradition is simply a willworker who belongs to her organisation - an organisation that has become comfortable in willworking in one specific way.

The actual sword will be crafted along with a doujin manga depicting it and an extra materials booklet on its design and abilities. Technically requires 30 successes accumulated at one roll per hours. (This seems trivial compared to following steps.)

Kana continues to amass these at a steady rate.
A doujin manga + extras booklet will be produced by FGSC and run the customary 500 copies to sell out. Pam may be involved. The sword will be put on display along with our cosplay models at our comiket booth.


===Kanako Kuga (True)===
:Purification Ritual brings down difficulty according to its complexity. Let's go for difficulty reduction of 3 - ie Pilgrimage to a sunken temple in the middle of the Pacific or the spirit lands around the Labyrinth of Knossos
"True Kana" may be Kana's most powerful form, as well as the riskiest to use – a sort of limit break. It may have reduced Arcane and/or require that she achieve an Arete of 6. In theory, True Kana has the most flexible magical style, able to mash props and cosplays in wild ways to achieve generally vulgar effects. Kana started off as True Kana and formed the protective shell of Kana around herself early on in her career.


===Kana===
'''Imbue Arete'''<br>
Kana normally presents herself as "Kana" to her allies and acquaintences is simply out of convenience and because outright giving a fake name could be troublesome later on. She often shortens her name to just "Kana" or writes it in alternate ways. C
Roll once per hour for a vulgar Prime 3 effect for 5 hours (to give the sword Arete 5), spending 1 tass for each roll. A failure or a botch here is disastrous so every effort must be made to lower difficulty into the ground.


'''Natalie Lamperouge'''<br>
'''Imbue Powers'''<br>
The alias of Season 2, Natalie was a dark, icy, and vaguely loli tsundere who went to school in Vancouver (in a serafuku) by day while sometimes appearing by night as an anti-heroine similar in appearance to the Black Rock Shooter. Due to exposure, she has an Arcane of 4. [http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/297/bf45a0b84f741fe9de604da518b8e8209927cf6c.jpg?300224]<br>
Total point cost of the artifact is Arete + 1 per Power + 1 per 5 points of quint storage.


'''Haruho Artaria-Jurai'''<br>
An alias of Season 3, Haruho is an aloof but cunning daughter of someone terribly important in the Japanese Underworld. She has myriad Yakuza connections and runs the secretive and mysterious The Artaria Foundation.


'''Hideki and Q1'''<br>
An alias within a alias. This was Haruho personally doing footwork in the name of The Artaria Foundation. She dressed up/got into a giant bioroid while Shu dressed up as a cyber ninja.


'''U.N.Owen and U.F.Owen'''<br>
Kana is a folk hero in Okhun, a part of the Hollow Earth that she saved from some marauding iron oni raiders. During their brief airborne antics there, Kana and Pam borrowed wings from Flandre Scarlet and Nue Houjuu of Touhou.


'''Reimu Hakurei ~Sun Priestess version~'''<br>
:Bind WIll
After it was revealed that the strange Miko in the caverns was not a priestess mind-controlled by Tokomandilin but ''actually'' Tokomandilin in a bad disguise, Kana temporarily replaced her as a Reimu Hakurei variation, unleashing the sun shard's power in a massive final spellcard.
:Resonance; Talismans can take 1 point of resonance off the mage into itself


'''Leading Private Kuga'''<br>
 
Under some other given name, Kana infiltrated the JSSDF's nascent tactical armour program.

Kana's New Sword

Crafting Process
The actual sword will be crafted along with a doujin manga depicting it and an extra materials booklet on its design and abilities. Technically requires 30 successes accumulated at one roll per hours. (This seems trivial compared to following steps.)

Purification Ritual
A doujin manga + extras booklet will be produced by FGSC and run the customary 500 copies to sell out. Pam may be involved. The sword will be put on display along with our cosplay models at our comiket booth.

Purification Ritual brings down difficulty according to its complexity. Let's go for difficulty reduction of 3 - ie Pilgrimage to a sunken temple in the middle of the Pacific or the spirit lands around the Labyrinth of Knossos

Imbue Arete
Roll once per hour for a vulgar Prime 3 effect for 5 hours (to give the sword Arete 5), spending 1 tass for each roll. A failure or a botch here is disastrous so every effort must be made to lower difficulty into the ground.

Imbue Powers
Total point cost of the artifact is Arete + 1 per Power + 1 per 5 points of quint storage.



Bind WIll
Resonance; Talismans can take 1 point of resonance off the mage into itself
