If the Exalt dies, the effect lingers for as long as the Storyteller deems dramatically appropriate. Its temporary Willpower resets to 10, it gains a full Peripheral Essence pool equal to the wielder’s, and it gains access to all of its wielder’s Charms that could enhance actions the daiklave is capable of taking, other than those wholly inappropriate for a flying sword.

For the rest of the scene, Flying Silver Dream cannot be crashed - anything that would reduce its Initiative value to 0 or below merely drops it to 1.

Arise, Moonlight Blade activates for free if not currently active. Once the Exalt is incapacitated, her Essence merges more fully with the blade than ever before. Resonant: This Evocation can only be awakened by a wielder resonant with moonsilver. Prerequisites: Flickering Lunar Protector, Moonbeam Razor Flash However, for some Evocations, it becomes a bit more complicated let's take two other examples. I can understand that for some effects which are logically quite powerful, there could be a balancing factor in requiring you to undergo particular effects in order to unlock them, however. Of course, logically you could say you unlock a mechanically identical but distinct charm, which sidesteps this issue. My reasoning for my observation is that if you can only unlock it by the Special Activation Rule, then a non-Tepet could never use this weapon, as all of it's Evocations have this as a prerequisite. However, a discussion with a friend has revealed she thinks differently she thinks you can only unlock the charm by meeting the Special Activation Rule. If you are not, you may pay the standard cost of an Evocation to unlock it. I believe what it means is as follows if you are a Tepet Scion, you unlock this charm for free. How do you read the Special Activation Rule here? Resonant: If a character resonant with jade has a Principle that reflects her code of honor, she adds its rating to the total number of 1s and 2s she can roll without losing control of the lightning. Special activation rules: A Dragon-Blooded Tepet scion who attunes to Horizon Cleaver awakens this Evocation at no cost. If the wielder’s 1s and 2s on her attack roll exceed (lower of her Integrity or Resistance), she loses control of Horizon Cleaver, and the attack is redirected to a random target within range - including the wielder or her allies. If it deals damage, its victim loses (Essence) Initiative, which the wielder doesn’t gain, and becomes thunderstruck for the scene, suffering a −2 penalty on physical actions. Horizon Cleaver’s wielder can unleash its lightning - at great collateral risk.
