I'm still kind of proud of it.The Letters themselves appear somewhat metallic - reflecting the nature of the Sword they came from. When they are reabsorbed (which basically happens when contact occurs between the letter and Masamune), the effect is somewhat like watching a drop of mercury being drawn back into the whole. The Sword can sense Letters when they are close by, or at least their general direction or location. I would say that it's like a discern location effect, except I more or less want the effect to be up to the GM. For plot purposes and all. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The original gods - they're called the Archons in my campaign - dismantled the Sword after Creation was more or less underway. Having created the world, they were more or less worried that the Sword might be used to un-create it. Which is why the Sword being re-assembled is supposed to be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.Well, I guess my idea was that they were simply reabsorbed. I suppose they appear on the blade after reabsorption occurs.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I really like some of your ideas. Is it okay if I steal them? I especially like the bit about the complete loss of sanity, then the regaining of sanity with a bonus. I actually had been thinking of bringing in the Sanity mechanism from Cthulhu (or an equivalent thereof) specifically for this.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Thanks for your comments. I'm really glad you liked it.</blockquote>
