Item: Protector's Final Gift
Within hives of giant bees, some become protectors of their hive and etch runes onto their stingers via dance. Upon such a bee's death, its stinger can be removed from its body and used as +1 striking rapier, though a hilt often needs to be attached for skilled swordsmanship. The imbued magic allows the stinger to slowly renew a small bit of its venom supply. The wielder can gather this and deliver it during a Strike. The victim is made to see prophetic flashes of their future as it courses through their system.

Critical Specialisation Effects
Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Sword: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming off-guard until the start of your next turn.
