Healing Einhänder of Force

Healing Einhänder of Force rests in my palm, a secret kept from war and worry. The blade is slender, the length of a forearm, with a decisive taper that ends in a keen edge; the surface is damascened with frost-white veins that pulse faintly when light touches them. Along the fuller, pale blue sigils trace a quiet confession of craftsmanship, each rune a whisper of the Force that flows through living flesh. The hilt is wrapped in weather-worn leather, dark as a storm-front, stitched with copper thread that gleams when you tilt it toward a flame. The pommel cradles a crystal orb, a minute sun trapped in glass, which seems to breathe with your breath—dim and brighten in rhythm to a patient’s heart. The whole thing carries the grit of long use: polish worn thin on the grip, fingerprints pressed into the metal, a texture that invites the hand to find steady purpose. Legends say it was forged in a river-city smithy, under the watch of a priestess who called the Force the breath of life. She bound the blade to a vow to mend where violence festers, so the weapon might bleed light back into wounded flesh rather than blood. Some say the vein-work on the blade drinks in nearby life—when it hums with healing, you feel warmth travel from edge to bone, as if fever and ache loosen their hold. In quiet rooms, healers tell of the blade’s murmur, a soft recognition of suffering that insists on relief, not ruin. In play it refuses to be mere ornament. The Healing Einhänder of Force carries a delicate shimmer that unlocks a healing aura around its wielder, mending allies in the thick of skirmishes and weaving through frontline chaos to reach those tucked behind shield-brothers. A practiced hand can time its touch to bridge moments of danger—strike an enemy, and a ripple of vitality spreads outward, tending the most pressed wounds as if the blade itself were a breath riding the air. It rewards calm judgment, careful positioning, and the willingness to trade a single stroke for the safety of a dozen hearts that blink but do not fail. On the road, the blade becomes a storyteller as much as a healer. It travels with caravan guards, temple runners, and field medics who learn to read its glow as you would a map—the way the sigils brighten when mercy is near, the blade cooking silence into action at the right moment. Towns braced for conflict speak in whispers of the wielder who kept a unit alive through the night, and merchants recall how the force within the weapon seems almost to counsel restraint, urging care over bravado. The item’s true weight is not in its edge but in the compassion it prods you to demonstrate when a life depends on your decision. Prices drift like heat on a sunlit road. I found it through Saddlebag Exchange, where a cantankerous trader laid the Einhänder on a table that bore the patina of thousands of trades. The tag read 28 silver, a fair mark for a weapon that heals as it halves the worst harm; the vendor let me barter a handful of tinctures in trade, a gesture that felt more like a covenant than a sale. In a market pulsing with glinting trinkets, this blade stood out because it asked less of the buyer’s coin and more of the buyer’s heart. So it travels on, a blade with a heartbeat, stitching wounded stories back together as it passes from hand to hand.
