Wingspan
This form is apparently related to the great Hanoman warrior-painter Kensu. It is not known whether he was one of the Aligned. What is known is a famous painting of his serves as the groundwork for this form -- and that the form is also related to his combat philosophy. The painting is of a great blue heron sailing above a quiet lake; Kensu's combat philosophy was to treat the sword like it was a wing, applying the same principles of elegance, turning, and even lift and drag. This form manifests a katana out of the wingspan of the heron. The closer to perfection one gets in one's visualization of its base and the actualization of the magick, the closer the katana will get to perfection. Some Aligned who master this form swear by this weapon, claiming it sharp beyond what any mortal smith could construct. Others use it when needed, but still carry a normal blade, seeing the non-magickal blades it as a worthwhile piece of artisanship in its own right, and even a focus for further magicks. Regardless of exactly how heavily one relies on the blade conjured by this form, there can be no doubt about the worthiness of the manifestation in skilled hands.
Like all Aligned weapon manifestations, it will last either until banished, until one no longer has the order energy to maintain it, or until one disincarnates. To banish a blade, concentrate on returning the form within it to a potential state.
