Details

Description: Samehada is a large sword, roughly as tall as a full-grown man and comparable in size to the Kubikiribōchō. Though usually wrapped in bandages, Samehada's construction is atypical in that its actual blade is comprised of a series of downward-facing scales running along the entirety of its length until its hilt, at the base of which is a small skull. Samehada grows larger in proportion to the amount of mana it absorbs, causing its scales to become so long that they ultimately resemble shark fins and its mouth, located at the tip of the blade, to become even more pronounced with visible teeth. Keeping Samehada wrapped in bandages apparently helps to inhibit this growth to a certain extent. As the blade is made up of scales, it inflicts injuries through shredding or shaving what it comes into contact with, rather than just cutting the object in question. This flaying effect is similar to a shark's skin, hence the sword's name.

Measurements: Samehada is 1.7 meters long with a 30 centimeter long hilt. The blade itself has a width of 30 centimeters. Though, when Samahada Unwrapped is used the length of the blade increases to 2.2 meters and its width to 40 centimeters.

Lore: Samehada is unique for being a sentient weapon that gains nourishment from the mana of others and, as such, the blade is at its happiest when engorged with mana that possesses both a distinctive and pleasant flavor. It has shown displeasure towards Lightning-type mana, stating that it's far too bitter. Being capable of conscious thought, Samehada chooses its own user, an exclusive process that has often resulted in it being thought of as notoriously picky. If someone it disapproves of attempts to wield it, spikes protrude from the handle in order to force them to release their grasp, at which point Samehada will make efforts to return to its chosen owner.

Effects

Kisame: The weapon absorbs 10% mana from a target whenever it deals damage to them. The absorption is split between a drain and a burn. The user receives half (5%) of the absorbed mana while the remaining half (5%) is burned. This effect does not apply when it hits a weapon or shield.
Samehada Unwrapped: The bandages around the weapon are removed to reveal Samehada's true form. This results in a 20% debuff to the Strength, Speed, Endurance, and Constitution of the user, however, the 10% absorption now results in a complete 10% drain. Once unwrapped, it cannot be wrapped again in the same topic.
