Ur'gana (星の杖ウルガーナ, Lit. Staff of Stars ?) is a staff-like weapon and one of Orientia's national treasures.

Appearance

Ur'gana takes the appearance of a silver staff with ornaments and spade-shaped top, closer to that of a spear. The staff is actually a sword sheath, concealing a sharp thin sword within.

Abilities

Upon activation, Ur'gana produces up to five concentric rings around its handle, in a similar configuration to Rutherford-Bohr atomic model. The rings then expand outwards at incredible speed, each of them producing six extremely sharp blades that spin along them. The user can control the radius of the rings as well as the orbital inclination.

Rather than being materialized anew with each activation of the weapon, they are "pulled in and out" of Ur'gana like a sword from a scabbard. The blades are so fast that they are normally invisible even to opponents with a heightened sense, which can make the exact nature of Urgana's powers difficult to puzzle out. The destructive power of the blades is enough to level an entire city block in the blink of an eye. Since they are not directly connected to the user themselves, the blades can ignore all obstacles and defenses between the user and their target, striking the latter from their side if they are on their path.

The abilities of Ur'gana are not exclusively offensive. Due to the speed, range and sheer power of the blades, as well as to the possibility of tilting their trajectory to hide them from sight, it is nearly impossible to get close to an Ur'gana user without being cut. For the same reason, diversions that use part of the environment as projectiles are useless. Even if an opponent were to slip through all five rings, the user could resort to the blade concealed inside of Ur'gana to fight at close quarters. They can also defend themselves by causing all the rings to contract, creating a shield of blades that protects the blind spot underfoot. By standing on it, the user can hover in place.

Users

The only known user of Ur'gana is the Moonlight Empress. She has been in possession of this weapon for two years at the very least.
