What it does

Sworn: the Ell holds 5 pips instead of 3 (spear and shortspear attack speed +1.5 % a pip, so +7.5 % at 5); a melee blow that hurts you costs 2 pips instead of all of them; the Ell lapses after 7 s without a tip blow instead of 5; at 4 or more pips your tip blows (basic swings too) add 4 poise. Longreach and Wound-Bees spend what you hold.

Edge: Unshaken

A melee blow that hurts you costs 1 pip instead of 2.
