Warin is armed with her brightly colored staff and a witch doctor’s knife. Her long sleeved shirt could resist a knife cut or thrust, but nothing more.
Similar to Bow, her wooden staff is wrapped with brightly colored cloth ー a symbol of love. Trees wrapped in bright cloth denotes a spirit residing inside them, and that they should be respected. Magic users, black or otherwise, sometimes carry them to protect themselves and others against malevolent spirits.
A [Witch] Doctor’s knife is an essential tool of all magic users, but they vary in strength and limitations based on their materials. Some are made with consecrated nails in old temples, while Warin’s is made from coffins nails of vengeful ghosts — extremely powerful, although volatile. Whereas the former will only lose their effectiveness, the latter will punish the users for transgressions directly.
As long as she doesn’t violate the rules of the knife, she should be fine.
