its effect is powerful enough to overcome even the fanaticism induced by Skulltwister, forcing the Mindsword's victims to drop to the ground as well. Unlike Skulltwister, the Sword of Despair does not provide protection from its effect to its owner, who will also fall to the ground in despair. Without the intervention of someone who enjoys immunity to this lethargy, the victims will lie still until they starve to death or die of dehydration. Shieldbreaker's wielder is immune to the effect. Doomgiver may provide immunity as well, but the two blades never meet in battle. Soulcutter has no symbol on its hilt--the only sword without one. Stonecutter, "The Sword of Siege," can cut through any stone or mineral-based formation as easily as it would pass through air, making stone walls useless. Its symbol is a wedge splitting a block. Townsaver, "The Sword of Fury," turns its wielder into an impenetrable wall of bladed steel, but only in an enclosed area and only in defense of the defenseless. Once the Sword has been drawn under those conditions, it makes a wailing sound that rises into a shriek as it defends the helpless from harm by cutting through anything and everything that would harm them. The wielder cannot be stopped or killed while the Sword of Fury is active by any means short of Shieldbreaker, but unfortunately, the protection the Sword of Fury offers to the defenseless is NOT extended to the wielder himself. Wounds taken by the wielder of Townsaver will continue to accumulate until all danger has passed, whereupon the sword will cease to function and the wielder will either pass out or die from blood loss. The symbol of Townsaver is a sword suspended over a crenulated castle wall. Wayfinder, "The Sword of Wisdom," can be used by the wielder to find any location or any object they wish, without error, even leading them to the items and people necessary to complete their quest. The downside of Wayfinder's ability is that it will lead the wielder to most direct rather than the safest path, which can put them in harm's way. Notably, Coinspinner can be used for the same effect, without the drawback of the added risk, but with the potential to leave right when it is needed the most. Wayfinder's symbol is an arrow. Characters Mark is the principal protagonist of the series, and probably the single most
