Flashing Blade

Flashing Blade manifests a Sword(s) that the Minstrel may wield. The Sword flashes with furious Strikes, each Strike adding 1 less Exertion and the 12 Effect triggering up to 3 times each Turn. The Sword also gives the Minstrel the ability to use the Quick Strike Maneuver at Level 1 Mastery Level, regardless of current Fighting Style. If the Minstrel invests 2 SPP into Flashing Blade, Quick Strike is Level 2 instead. No more than 2 SPP may be invested into Flashing Blade. If the elohim has already learned Quick Strike, Flashing Blade can instead increase their Mastery Level by 1 while being used in a Dual-Wielding Fighting Style.

If holding an Item other than a Sword, the Item is put away and can be automatically re-equipped when the Song is ended. Spiritual Effects and Songs that create weapons are mutually exclusive.  

Blessed Flashing Blade allows the Sword's 12 Effect to trigger up to 4 times each Turn and allows Quick Strike at Level 2 and Level 3 with 4 SPP invested. Righteous Flashing Blade allows the Sword's 12 Effect to trigger up to 5 times each Turn, allows Quick Strike at Level 2, Level 3 with 4 SPP invested, and Level 4 with 6 SPP invested.

Flashing Bolts

Flashing Bolts causes the Minstrel or one ally to Move instantly, resembling a flash of lightning after each Turn the Minstrel has. The Move is so fast that it is treated as if the character has teleported to the new location, unaffected by anything that would extend or reduce the distance traveled. Also, when at least 4 SPP is invested by the Minstrel, the character is energized and their Exertion is reduced by 3.

If the Minstrel Moves this way, Ranges for all other Songs are determined before they Move.

Blessed Flashing Bolts reduces Exertion by 3 more if the Minstrel is investing at least 8 SPP. Righteous Flashing Bolts reduces Exertion by 3 more if the Minstrel is investing at least 12 SPP.
