Bevel Lash

Elsewhere in the Codex

The casting prototype ships eight spells, five Evane and three Facet. Repel, Coil, Gale and Facet Seal came first, one per drawing style; Brace, Mend, Bevel Lash and Prism Snare are the first batch from the Spell Set tab. Each lives in its own data file (Assets/StreamingAssets/Data/Spells/<id>.json), and the scorer checks exactly what this table describes. Shapes are written as the player sees them on a landscape phone; "outward" means toward that thumb's screen edge.

Spell

Bevel Lash

Speed within each stroke

Left stops at the triangle's two corners; right is one even stroke

Tempo across both thumbs

Thumbs move at different rates by design; start and end together

Breath window

850 ms

From Mobile RPG Codex › Spellcasting › Speed and Tempo

Thumb sync allows about 80 ms between the thumbs' start and end times before it costs a third of the timing score. A spell can set its own breath window (Coil, Facet Seal, Mend, Bevel Lash and Prism Snare do); the default is 600 ms, and it is meant to grow later with player level and gear.

From Mobile RPG Codex › Spellcasting › Speed and Tempo

Top row, left to right: Repel, Coil, Gale, Facet Seal. Second row: Brace, Mend, Bevel Lash, Prism Snare. In each pair the left half is the left thumb and the right half the right thumb; the white dot is where the stroke starts. The image is rendered from the spell data files, the same way the in-game spell book draws its icons.

(Idea) Facet spells: two words, a gem-cutting term then what it does: Facet Seal, Bevel Lash, Prism Snare, Crown Ward, Culet Spike.

From Spell Set › At a glance

Five ways to hurt: a quick hit (Gale), a heavy hit (Coil), several small hits (Squall), damage over time (Wither) and a delayed blow (Toll). Tally rewards taking hits, and Bevel Lash breaks shields. Coil and Gale are unchanged from the prototype.

From Spell Set › Attack

Tailwind into Bevel Lash: the biggest single hit in the set.

What happens: Lio was handed a glyph too early, Bevel Lash, and her first cast went wild and hit her family. Cass's arm is glass to the elbow. Now she sits on her hands. Garnet doesn't blame the glyph; she blames nobody, which is the Facet way and which Lio can't stand. The player learns, from Cass rather than Rook, that Rook gave Lio the glyph. Rook won't come in. [Twinhold first] Lio asks whether the Wardens would un-teach her and whether it would hurt. The player can answer honestly. [Lanternfall first] Lio is the player's first close look at what a glyph can cost.

From Walkthrough: Act 2 › Chapter 3: Lanternfall, with Rook › Lio

What happens: the player and Iver's crew go in through the east-pier drain. The wards are mirrored glyphs; an even pair can draw their reflection and open them without breaking them (a timed draw: the player casts the ward's own glyph, mirrored, inside one breath). Three wards, three guards: a Warden golem at each of the first two doors and a Warden sentinel at the third. The wards "weigh" every spell, so no guard here will take the same spell twice in a row, and the player has to vary their casts or thread. Casting a Facet spell in here is casting inside an Evane town: if any ward breaks instead of opening, the alarm rings, and the next Facet spell the player casts in the Vault is witnessed. In the inner Vault, Tamsin is on watch. The player chooses: talk Tamsin down (needs tamsin.trust >= 2), Repel Tamsin out of the way and run, or fight Tamsin properly. Iver's crew empties the shelves into sacks. Behind the shelves they find a whole Warden glyph cut into the wall: Weigh. The player can trace it while the sacks fill. The Corran, five-seal shelf is here; Iver doesn't care about it, but the player can look (an Act 3 hook). Iver lets the player keep one glyph of their choice from the haul (Idea): the straight-stroke half of Bevel Lash, a Warden Brace variant, or a Still Choir fragment of Listen.

Encounter

road_raiders

Enemies

forsworn_mender and hollow_cut, 160 HP each here (the mender casts Repel and a binding; the cut casts Bevel Lash and throws every third spell back)

Counters

Repel interrupts their casts; Drift dodges Bevel Lash, which ignores shields (Spell Roadmap)

Difficulty

Normal

From Walkthrough: Act 2 › Encounters

Bevel Lash's other half: the triangle half lies deeper in the Shardfield, past the Corran road (Act 2 to 3, Spell Set tab). The straight-stroke half can come from the Vault haul.
