Malenia's signature katana — her prosthetic blade replacing the arm the rot consumed. Its Waterfowl Dance is the most devastating weapon art in the Lands Between, a whirlwind of cuts that ends everything. The blade is an extension of Malenia herself — literally, as it serves as her prosthetic right arm, grafted to the stump where rot consumed her flesh. The steel is clean and pale, almost white, a deliberate contrast to the scarlet corruption that defines her existence. Waterfowl Dance — three spiraling volleys of slashes that carry the wielder through the air like a raptor descending on prey — is not a technique but a statement: Malenia has never known defeat, and this is why. The sword heals on hit, mirroring her own ability to restore herself through violence. It is the weapon of someone who has been fighting the rot her entire life and has chosen to make the fight beautiful. Every swing is defiance. Every kill is another moment she refuses to surrender to what she is becoming.

Also known as: Malenia's Katana, Waterfowl Blade, Blade of Malenia
