Weapon

"'Reach for the book - it is a weapon.'"

- Brecht

Weapon is an Aspect on some Portable Assets in the Exile DLC. Weapons can be used to attack or defend against reckoners. When no reckoner rank is present and the player doesn't have Temptation: Defiance yet, a Weapon can be used to create that temptation (along with 3 Foe Weaknesses and a Trace). A Weapon (but not a Profane Weapon) can be sent as a gift to the Foe to increase defiance.

Attack my Pursuer
"A direct assault on my pursuer. [This will destroy all Obscurity.]"

Without the Foe present, any Weapon can be Employed to attack a reckoner (of rank). If Lore is added, the attack is guaranteed to hit, inflicting 1 Pursuer's Wound on the pursuer. Without Lore, the attack has a 70% chance of success.

Use a sacred weapon to attack my Foe
"In confronting me, he too's become a target... but not an easy one. [Weapon attacks usually, but not always, hit. While a Foe is on the board, you can't attack lesser Reckoners. This will destroy all Obscurity.]"

In similar fashion to normal reckoners, weapons can be used to attack the Foe (except for Profane Weapons). If Lore is added, the attack is guaranteed to hit, inflicting 1 Wound on the Foe. Without Lore, the attack has a 70% chance of success.

Send a Defiant Gift
"Perhaps he'll open the package himself. Perhaps he'll think it's a trap, and have someone else do it. Either way, it's hard not to laugh when I imagine his face. [Your Defiance is fiercer now.]"

Communicating using Temptation: Defiance and a Weapon (but not a Profane Weapon) will increase your Marks of Defiance by 1, but consumes the weapon.

A Sacred Weapon
"They used to say it would take a silver bullet to kill my Foe. I saw that tried, and I saw it fail. But what about this?"

Using a Weapon (but not a Profane Weapon) when no reckoners of rank are present can provide Temptation: Defiance (and a Trace), though it purges any Obscurity.

Something of a Fuss / Defended with Weaponry
"I've fought off my attacker, but it's drawn more attention."

Defending against a reckoner's attack with a Weapon blocks the attack, but creates a Trace. "'I'll break you, too -'"

Defending against the Foe's attack with a Weapon blocks the attack, but has a 30% chance of breaking the Weapon (except for Ebrehel, the Ragged Sword). Profane Weapons cannot be used to defend against the Foe.
