As a Simple Action, Blaethynn takes 2 Strain, and makes a Weapon Weaving test against an opponent’s Mystic Defense.

This ability works like the Creature Analysis talent (p. 136), but only against Name-giver targets, and only allows one question.

- Blaethynn's Challenge Box
Spoiler:
- A wooden box, bound with bronze on the edges and corners, with a button set into the top. There is no obvious way to open the box; its weight suggests it may be empty. The box is classed as a Size 2 object. It has a Mystic Defense of 14, and is a Journeyman Thread Item.
- Ranks:
- 1 strain: Pressing the button of the box while immersed in water or fire will cause the immersing element to heat up.
- Deed: Immerse the Box in each of the five elements, in turn. Push the button, and observe what happens.
- The more powerful thread allows the owner to open and close the Box. Pushing the button has no effect unless the Box is closed. Anything in the Box when the button is pushed is frozen instantly, and the button-pusher takes a minimum of 1 Strain. The Strain taken increases if the contents of the Box are hotter. Filling the Box with hot coals and pushing the button is probably a bad idea.
- Deed: The owner must test how durable the Box is, and learn this... without destroying it.
