[@Skallagrim]I'm not going to be able to work on this until I get off work, but I have a quick question I wanted to ask before I left. What does the dark mist from the dagger do? I am under the impression that since it can form a shield out of dark energy/matter that it strikes with with kinetic force behind it rather than generic magical energy. My follow up question is how much force does it strike with, if the first assumption is true. I just didn't see a line of reference to the amount of force it can produce in the weapons description.

On a different note. I had totally missed the line in which he slid off the horse. That was a bit of an oversight on my part, but what I really hadn't counted on, was him to just attacking flat out. I knew he was mad, but I thought he would [i]atleast[/i] hear the first word before deciding that he wasn't in a listening mood. Looking it over. Scion could potentially dodge the back hand in a panic back step, but the dagger will pretty much get a clean shot. So, that's why I wanted to know what forces it can project to properly account for the blow.
