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. The Minstrel gains the ability to use the Quick Strike Maneuver at Level 1 Mastery Level, regardless of current Fighting Style. If the Minstrel invests at least 2 SPP into Flashing Blade, the Sword's 12 Effect can trigger up to 3 times each Turn. If the Minstrel invests 3 SPP into Flashing Blade, Quick Strike is Level 2 instead. If the elohim has already learned Quick Strike, Flashing Blade can instead give it +1 Mastery Level, up to a maximum of Mastery Level 3, 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 additional SPP to be invested, increasing the Mastery Level of Quick Strike and adding additional possible triggers to the Sword's 12 Effect. The +1 Mastery Level for a character who already knows Quick Strike now has a maximum of Level 4. Righteous Flashing Blade allows even more SPP to be invested, further increasing the Mastery Level of Quick Strike and further reducing the Exertion added by each Strike. The +1 Mastery Level for a character who already knows Quick Strike now has a maximum of Level 5.
[For Flesh, there is no Exertion. Instead, Righteous Flashing Blade with at least 10 SPP invested allows the Sword's 12 Effect to trigger up to 5 times per Turn.]

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.
[For Flesh, Exertion is not removed. Instead, Restore (1xTarget's Tier) Endurance to the Target]
