The Dharma Blade

The Dharma Blade is a longsword of flawless blue-black steel, its edge shining like dawn on still water. Fine gold inlay traces lotus blossoms, concentric mandalas, and a turning wheel along the fuller. Its pommel is a small crystal stupa crowned by a seven-spoked wheel, while the grip is wrapped in saffron silk that never stains, frays, or loses its warmth. When drawn, the sword releases the faint scent of sandalwood and produces a soft resonance like a distant temple bell.
