Spear of Longinus

The Spear of Longinus was the blood-stained spear manifested through Cattleya's Mystical Re-enactment. It pursued Saint of Secrets Botis through layered spatial doors and nearly destroyed both his substitute and real body. The text later links the manifestation to an ancient Earth legend with genuine mystical roots; it does not establish a recoverable weapon that anyone could own.

History

Mystical Re-enactment against Botis

During Cattleya and Audrey's ambush of Botis, a blood-stained spear from an untraceably ancient past absorbed the room's presence and drove directly toward him. Botis transformed the intervening space into countless layered doors, but the spear pierced them without losing pursuit. Those defenses weakened its aura enough that a recorded Shadow Substitute saved him; Botis believed both shadow and body would otherwise have shattered. (Chapter 1197)

Botis then used a short-range Reboot of Fate, returning the room to the moment before Cattleya's magic and undoing the strike. No spear remained to collect. After observing the battle, Klein Moretti concluded that some pre-First Epoch Earth legends preserved genuine mysteries from which a Mysticologist could draw power. He treated the Spear of Longinus as one such re-enacted legend, while acknowledging that most myths were not genuine. (Chapters 1197 and 1199)

Abilities and properties

• The manifested spear locked onto Botis, crossed repeated spatial doors, and carried a destructive effect that cracked and disintegrated his Shadow Substitute. (Chapter 1197)
• Layered doors reduced its aura, showing that distance and repeated spatial barriers could weaken it. A substitute absorbed the residual strike, and Reboot of Fate erased the event entirely. (Chapter 1197)
• Its activation requirements belong to Cattleya's Mystical Re-enactment, whose power draws on authentic historical legends. The corpus does not provide the precise spirituality cost, reusable frequency, or minimum knowledge needed for this particular legend. (Chapter 1199)
• No evidence shows a permanent shaft, holder, seal, negative effect, or post-casting custody. Treating it as an independent artifact would go beyond the supplied text. (Chapters 1197 and 1199)
