[edit] Long Description
This nodachi is as straight as a waterfall and as sharp as the north wind. It bears a pattern of <pattern> worked into the folded steel, and the long two-handed hilt has been wrapped in <wrap>. The maker's mark, a single reed gracefully curved by an unfelt wind, is engraved on the simple steel disc of the tsuba behind the blade.
All custom-made weapons from Wan Bending Reed have the message, "It is by the command of <player> that I was made."
[edit] Appraises As
The bending reed nodachi is about five feet long and three inches wide. It is made of steel and could be used as a weapon of type heavy-sword.
[edit] Acquisition
May be ordered from Wan Bending Reed in the Samurai dojo, in northeastern Bes Pelargic.
The player must have at least a 300 bonus in the appropriate weapon skill, as well as a 200 unstatted bonus in people.culture.agatean, before Wan Bending Reed will consider him or her worthy to wield one of his weapons.
[edit] Notes
Weapons from Wan Bending Reed will perform better in the hands of the player they were made for.
