Item: Radiant Victory
This finely crafted +1 striking shortsword is carried by field marshals and other military officers who fight alongside their troops on the battlefield. Numerous other types of this blade exist, ranging from falchions to scimitars to longswords, and their appearances vary as widely as the nations and causes to which their wielders swear fealty. Many say that a soldier can tell the worth of their commanding officer by noting whether their primary weapon gives off the faint residual glow associated with a radiant victory.
Activate—Rally the Troops 1 (manipulate, visual)
Frequency once per day
Requirements You reduced a creature to 0 Hit Points with a Strike from the radiant victory as your last action
Effect You raise the blade high above your fallen enemy to inspire your comrades, projecting a blazing beacon into the sky that sheds bright light in a @Template[type:burst|distance:30] centered on you. This lasts for 1 minute and grants you and all allies within the area a +1 status bonus to attack rolls while within the light.

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.
