Equipment[]
- Crimson Twinblade: Aeni’s flute can transform into a bloody double-edged twinblade. It is made from coarse, bloody iron while the blade itself is jagged and irregular, designed to inflict maximum damage with each strike. She can wield the it impressively with a single hand, whether her right or left. Aeni uses it for swift slashing and piercing attacks. She uses the weapon’s dual edges to deliver rapid, consecutive strikes, combining fluid movements with deadly precision.
