Goddess Plume (material)

Name: Goddess Plume (material)

Fields: Empower, Protect

PWC: N/A

Appearance: A crystalline object shaped vaguely like a wing, with glimmering hues of violet inside it.

Function: Goddess Plumes could be used by Outfitters and Weaponsmiths. One Goddess Plume can accentuate a feature of said creation by four times- so if a Smith owned one Fire Gem and wished to forge a blade with it, using a Goddess Plume would increase the fiery power of the blade to that of a weapon containing four Fire Gems. A Splinter Crystal blade would repair itself four times as fast. A Wing Tunic with a Goddess Plume will be able to carry greater weights than a regular tunic. These rare plumes are thus prized for their ability to upgrade almost any weapon, armour, cloth or tool. Even imbuing a regular blade with a Goddess Plume will increase its ability to cut by a great deal; Goddess Plume blades are capable of felling small trees in a single strike.

Goddess Plumes may also be used as talismans with similar effects, albeit weaker. A man wearing a Goddess Plume would have greater strength than one without; a Mount bearing a Plume could support the weight of even a Darknut, although with difficulty. Multiple Plumes would increase the effects- so a Mount with two Plumes could bear a Darknut with ease, and a Mount with three could bear a Lynel (although a Lynel mounting a horse would seem extremely odd...).

All effects based on their use in Skyward Sword.

Limitations:
-These plumes would be expensive to compensate for their being extremely helpful in amplifying effects of other expensive materials
-Some materials (such as Evil Crystals) will react poorly to Goddess Plumes and may even damage the creation more than aid its effectiveness.
-Muscle Bands and the like would be more effective than Goddess Plume talismans for humans, although these cannot be used on Mounts.
