Karacal is a new blade type. It is a 15cm random Damast blade made for a left-hander. Fittings are copper coated and it has a burlap dark brown handle with lizard skin finish and a personalised glyph on the but cap. A maze from Chartres Cathedral, this has relevance to the owner's alchemic bloodline.
The blade is a properly forged Athema with the requisite fasting, prayers and keening to empower it for a sorceress/alchemist.
