Gheoskaer, Blade of Ysrai
The blade formally known as Gheoskaer, or "Earth-skewer," was the signature weapon of The Great Hero Ysrai. The blade itself possesses the length of a two-handed longsword, though is wielded in one hand, as evident by the one-handed handle. Composed of a combination of immensely valuable materials and alloys, and inscribed with powerful and intricate runes, the blade forged by Ysrai herself has easily claimed thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of demons throughout its lifetime, and possibly became the foundation on which Ysrai's fighting style was created, due to its composition.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
The blade itself possesses two forms, one of the above description, and one of a rapier of the same style. The precise runic engravings that mark the inside of the blade's fuller and either side thereof on the flats give it is three distinct abilities: the ability to change between a slashing or piercing weapon, the ability to store three separate spells (as determined by the wielder/caster), and the ability to reflect spells cast at the wielder at a target of the wielder's choice, similarly to a normal parry/riposte. Additionally, multiple gemstones crafted from Detrum, Fortum, and Artum enhancing Maijurium set in bezels across the blade's hilt work to further increase the blade's magical capabilities, and the magic channeled through the blade as a focus.

Raw materials & Components
The blade is composed of a Juggernite edge forge-welded onto a core of a material now identified as Titanoshulate (thusly giving credence to a much earlier discovery than expected for both materials). The guard is composed strangely of Veluvium. The handle appears to be steel wrapped in some manner of currently unidentified demon hide or demon skin. The pommel is also constructed of Titanoshulate. Numerous gemstones comprised of different Maijurium types can be found across the blade's hilt.
