Sealing

The act of marking a weapon with one's own life force. It synchronizes the user and the weapon for balanced spellwork.

The Sealing is also a ritual in which people go to draw weapons from the Faetrees. There are several Faetrees, given to the world by the Eani. While many of the weapons are ordinary, some are grimlas. The grimlas weapons only allow the one person who is fated to draw them to pull them from the Faetrees, however. While an ordinary weapon being drawn from the tree passes without incidents, the Sealing ceremonies of grimlas weapons can be rather disastrous.

The Faetree at Ardunat was destroyed during the Sealing ceremony that the Reaper of Ardunat went through. The Faetree at Casta Palladia was heavily damaged during the Sealing of Lynn de Luctes, but Calisto Asheri assured her Wanderer that the tree would heal in time.

The Sealing ceremony at Casta Palladia involves learning the oath of the Dragoons and reciting it before being permitted to pass through the gates to the Faetree. It can apparently be attempted once a year by the dragoons.
