SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES​

Forged in the crucible of twin faiths, Mandalorian glyphcraft and Nightsister ichor-sorcery, The Twins stand as one of Dimas most intimate creations. Crafted as a personal offering to her cherished Nightsisters whom she considers kith & kin, these weapons are less "armaments" like her previous creations and more ritual embodiments of their bond. One blade is the curved sickle Umbral Caress, shaped like a crescent moon carved from starless night, its edge humming with lunar gravity and dream-sorcery. The other, Vesperneedle, is a perfectly straight, impossibly thin dagger sharpened to a molecular vapor at its tip, a weapon of precision, prophecy, and inevitable endings.

Together, the blades balance each other in a mirrored duality: shadow and starlight, dream and death, tide and stillness, witch and warrior. When in the hands of a skilled witch, they become not merely tools of battle, but extensions of their will, a whispering duet of sacred violence.

​

Nightsister Shadow-Phasing: The Crescent Sickle can partially dissolve into shadowstuff, slipping between the material and the immaterial in seamless phasing.

• Allows the sickle to pass harmlessly through armor, then solidify inside a target.
• Can "mute" its presence, becoming invisible in dim light or deep shadow.
• Grants the wielder the ability to cut things normally immune to physical blades — illusions, memories, bindings, tethered spirits.
• Works exceptionally well for ritual work, circle-carving, severing of curses, opening night-roads.
• When thrown, it leaves a crescent rift of shadow that lingers for several seconds like a rent in reality.

Lunar Pull: Umbral Caress bends local gravity when swung, slicing the air with a shallow gravitational "tide."

• Pulls enemies off-balance or subtly bends trajectories of incoming attacks.
• Can pull thrown weapons back toward the wielder in a moonlike orbit.
• Extremely useful for crowd control or creating openings in duels.
• Can create micro-slingshot effects with projectiles.
• At full power, generates a half-second crescent wave of crushing force.

Molecular Edge of Inevitable Fate: The dagger is honed to a single-molecule tip stabilized by witch-binding and Mandalorian metallurgical miracles.

• Cuts without resistance: armor, metal, even matter stabilized by the Force.
• Leaves wounds that cannot be naturally closed — they "refuse" to knit unless magically healed.
• Draws a single drop of ichor or blood on contact, no matter how gentle the touch.
• Can sever "threads" of fate, luck, or enchantment when used in ritual.
• In a duel, it is the ultimate finishing strike — quiet, precise, unstoppable.

Duet Convergance: When both blades are used in tandem or crossed in ritual, they synchronize, Domina intended them to never be strongest alone, but perfect together.

• Their edges ignite with black-moon witchfire, harmless to those bonded but agonizing to foes.
• A temporary shield of crescent-shaped wards forms around Vytal.
• Allows for mirage-stepping: brief afterimages, flickers of position, shadow-doubles.
• In a ritual setting, creates a stabilized "night well" of ichor energy for spellcasting.
• Perfect balance of assault and defense, the Sisters' creed embodied.

INTRINSIC STRENGTHS​

Ritualistic Twin Blades: Both blades respond to ichor, blood, chants, and lunar phases. They amplify Nightsister spellwork, stabilize wild magicks, and can carve ritual sigils into any surface, including air, shadow, or a living spirit. Their presence alone elevates Witch spellcasting potency, acting like a tuning fork for their will. They do not usurp ones power; they harmonize with it.

Lunar Gravity Bending: The twins manipulate faint gravitational shifts that assist the wielder subtly rather than dramatically. A hook of the crescent blade can pull an enemy a half-step closer or encourage a projectile to veer just off-center, while the dagger can lighten the wielder's wrist at the moment of a parry or thrust. This gives the blades an uncanny "inevitability" in combat, as though openings reveal themselves or opponents misjudge their footing without understanding why. Though minor in magnitude, these shifts create a profound tactical advantage for a skilled wielder and make the blades feel preternaturally responsive.

Absorption & Amplification: With Blackstone at their heart, the Moon-Tide Twins can siphon off stray kinetic or mystical energy, storing it within their cores. Over the course of a prolonged fight, this allows the blades to grow hotter, sharper, and more resonant, turning endurance battles in the wielder's favor. When released intentionally, this stored energy can burst outward in a crescent shockwave from the sickle or a hyper-focused pulse from the dagger, each capable of staggering opponents or cleaving through wards. The longer the blades remain in motion, the more potent they become, making them devastating in drawn-out duels.

Witchrune Synergy: Nightsister magick flows naturally through the Moon-Tide Twins, amplifying spells cast in their vicinity. Enchantments woven through the blades make ichor manipulation easier, sigil-casting more stable, and spirit-binding rituals more efficient. When a spell is cast mid-combat, the blades glow with suspended moonlight that enhances the potency of the magick without draining additional energy from the witch. This synergy also allows illusions, bindings, or curses cast with the twins to take on sharper clarity and stronger adhesion, turning them into ideal ritual implements as much as battlefield weapons.

DESIGN FLAWS​

One Never Without The other: Because the Moon-Tide Twins draw metaphysical equilibrium from each other, extended separation causes their enchantments to falter. The sickle may grow heavier and sluggish without its counterpart's balancing presence, while the dagger becomes overly light and prone to slipping out of alignment with the wielder's intent. Their resonance weakens, reducing their gravitational effects to nearly nothing and dulling their predictive combat rhythm. The blades can still function independently, but their combat advantages diminish significantly when used apart from each other for too long.

Ritual Maintenance: The blades' lunar alloys must be routinely bathed in moonwater or witch-brew elixirs to maintain their supernatural sharpness and resonance. Neglecting this causes the enchantments to dim, their edges losing the shimmering crescent sheen that marks their awakened state. After prolonged neglect, their gravitational influence destabilizes, sometimes warping unpredictably in ways that can hinder the wielder more than the enemy. The twins are not disposable weapons, they demand attention, reverence, and ritual upkeep to remain at full potency.

Heretical Nullification: When exposed to Force-nullification fields, ysalamiri bubbles, or anti-mystic dampening zones, the Moon-Tide Twins become stripped of all their supernatural properties. Their gravitational bends collapse instantly, causing the wielder to feel a sudden and jarring weight shift as their rhythm breaks. The dual-current flow-state vanishes, the blades no longer guide or enhance movement, and their resonance dims to silence. In these moments, the blades are still masterfully forged weapons, but no different from mundane steel, leaving their wielder abruptly cut off from the advantages they've grown accustomed to.

IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT​

The Moon-Tide Twins were born in the twilight years following Prime's awakening to the Force, when her path, once forged purely in wrath and steel, became entangled with the oldest magicks of Dathomir. It was during this era that she first forged kinship with the Nightsisters, having survived the harrowing ritual that bound the phantom Mandalorian witch haunting her war-axe into her own body. The ritual had nearly torn her apart, body and soul, yet in the aftermath she emerged as something new: not simply a Mandalorian warpriest, but a vessel capable of bearing spirits, a bridge between iron and ichor, between clan and coven. The sisters who had overseen the rite, originally wary of the armored outsider, came to see in her both strength and vulnerability, two things the Nightsisters valued deeply when found in balance.

Among them, Nightmother Vytal Noctura was the first to extend true kinship, intrigued by the paradox of a battle-saint who bore a ghost in her bones and whose faith shone like a star even while steeped in shadow. Their friendship grew in quiet moments between rites, in shared rituals beneath the twin moons, and in long discussions of destiny, power, and the strange, overlapping poetry of witchcraft and Mandalorian creed. It was in these nights that Dima began to understand the Nightsisters not as the "other" she had been warned of, but as family bound not by blood, but by choice and shared suffering. These bonds became the foundation of what she would later craft, a tribute not born of obligation, but of genuine love and respect.

Seeking to honor the sisters who had healed her, guided her, and accepted her, Dima set to work creating a new divine armament, one that carried the essence of Dathomir as much as that of House Prime. She drew upon the Blackstone forges aboard her reclaimed Ark and infused them with gifts brought from Dathomir's swamps: moonwater, ichor-resin, ritual ash, and bone-dust etched with sigils of the Fanged Goddess. Under the watchful gaze of Vytal and the chanting of the coven, she shaped the first blade, a crescent sickle mirroring the waxing moon, and then its counterpart, a dagger tapered so fine it seemed made of distilled starlight. During their forging, the spirit bound inside Dima stirred, whispering old Mandalorian glyphs that she carved into the blades' spines, merging ancient clancraft with the witchcraft of her newfound kin.

When the forging fires dimmed and the last ritual seal cooled, the Moon-Tide Twins emerged shimmering with silver-blue light, humming softly as though alive. They were not weapons crafted for war alone, but a living testament to union, between sisterhood and martial faith, between moon and forge, between Dima and the coven that had embraced her. As she presented them to Vytal as a gift, the Nightmother recognized their deeper truth: these were not just tools of battle, but a declaration of devotion, a sign that Dima's heart had expanded to hold more than the creed she was born into. The Moon-Tide Twins became a permanent symbol of the bond between Domina Prime and the Nightsisters, a sacred reminder that even a god-forged warrior may craft with tenderness, and that some weapons are born not of rage, but of love.
