9.51 Two Arts

Known individually as the Draw Art and the Blade Art, the Two Arts are a
formidable and unmistakable style of swift, focused, and brutal swordsmanship.
As it is said, it is easier for a trained master to kill by drawing the blade
from its sheath than by swinging a naked sword. Advanced techniques involve the
channelling of Shin energy into one's weapon to wield a blade empowered with
fire, ice, and other potent forces.

Before the Two Arts may be practised, one requires a blade, and no ordinary
blade will do. The smith Murad and the Hatha-yin maiden Kavaya will help those
who seek a named blade of their own, and can be found in an encampment east of
Delos.
