Arcana of Ithia: Swallow Swords.

Swallow Swords are niche spell-swords focused on distorting time. They specialize in entrapping, encircling, and herding foes. They control the battlefield and restrict movement. They exchange a diversity of spell crafts for focused competency. 

Swallow Swords focus on a single ability, challenging to learn; they bleed their weapon through time, leaving spectral blades in the wake of each swing. They can maintain these floating blades for minutes, hours, days, or even year,s depending on the Swallow Sword’s personal power. They scatter deadly edges across battlefields, tripping foes, catching throats across dark roads, and leaving bladed air for enemies to consider. These blades are solid as if the essence of a sword swing was caught in the air, and those who touch them feel the impact of the swing that spawned it.  Swallow Swords can be a devastating force in conflicts, and their small group serves as a mercenary Order.  

The Swallow Swords are an Order of mercenary spell swords serving as a small elite martial force. They keep their techniques and training secret and maintain martial ranks.  

Company Captain – Leader of the Company. 

Lieutenant – The Second and Third command of the Swallow Swords. 

Sergeant – Leaders of small groups of Swallow Swords. 

Private – General Swallow Sword members.
