Level 2 Artifact
During the first age, when artifacts were common, the pendant daiklaves were popular amongst dragonblooded bodyguards and companions who had to appear suitable for various social events and yet be armed, so as to better protect their solar patrons. The artifact is exceedingly popular amongst dragonblooded socialites who prefer discrete armament when socializing.
The harmless appearing artifact typically appears as a pendant or medallion that could be combined with various outfits, if not actually made into part of said garment. Close examination of said medallion shows that the artifact is a black jade medallion, typically a ring, with detailed carvings surrounding an intricately carved miniature model of a daiklave.
Once attuned with essence, its owner may touch it and transform the carving of the daiklave into its alternate form; a full sized jade daiklave with all the normal benefits of such. The daiklave stays that size until it is returned to its original size with a thought.
There are rarer versions of the artifact, designed more for bodyguards than companions during the First Age, that uses variant daiklaves.
Transformation takes a reflexive miscellaneous action that is speed 1.
