Name: Vigilance, Thacel's Blade

Description:
After Thacel's unplanned birth, Toun made the young demigod promise to improve himself and to not be a waste to the world. Upon accepting this task, Thacel was bestowed a sword by his father. The blade was meant to be both a protection for Thacel and a means to keep him under perpetual surveillance to ensure his compliance. Thacel mistook the sword for a gift in spite of Toun's description of it, though he understood that everything he did from then on would be scrutinised. In light of this, he named the sword Vigilance.

Vigilance is the embodiment of Thacel's promise, as well as something of a memorial to the late god of war, Kyre. The blade material, though porcelain in appearance, does not behave like porcelain or any metal. It is a contradiction of naturally-occurring materials due to Tounic calligraphy inscribed upon it. The calligraphy has granted the blade the lightness, flexibility, balance, sharpness and construction of an ideal fencing blade, while remaining exceptionally strong and always springing back to its original shape.

The black pommel of the sword is like the eye of a droningbird, but remains attuned exclusively to Toun. Toun is granted all sensory information of the area around it, while his direct gaze makes the jet stone glow light blue.

Finally, the sword exudes Toun's influence to a degree. All attempts to touch the psyche of the wielder require five times the amount of effort and power normally required to do so. This has the trade-off of the wielder being compelled to constantly criticise themselves and their actions. This ostensibly leads those who wield the blade to better understand and act upon their faults, but overuse brings forth perfectionism, depression, and anxiety from unrealistic expectations set upon oneself.

Appearance:
Vigilance is a thin and narrow fencing blade made of an impeccable yellow-white material. It resizes itself to the proportions of any intelligent wielder automatically, always suitable for fighting. An average human finds the sword to change near to the length of their extended arm. Its shape makes the blade suitable for quick, dazzling strikes that redirect and bewilder the enemy until an opening is made to swiftly strike into. It is a weapon favouring agility and skill over brute strength.

The guard is made of a hard, grey material fashioned into the shape of Toun's insignia, while the handle is made from a number of wood-like substance textured on the surface for comfort and handling. The pommel is a large smooth bead of jet with a wispy tassel of transparent white cloth that flows through even the tightest of grips with little friction.

A number of vivid red Tounic symbols are written near the guard end of the blade that describe its powers in cryptic concepts.

Flaw:
A sword is a simple enough tool to have little in the way of flaws. However, it remains that Toun is not a god specialising in weapons and warfare. The blade's suitability for purpose may be outdone by an item made by a deity better suited to making weapons.
