Okay you know what? Anyone arguing that we need more X off anything that happened here can toss it- this was a thing where we very easily could have been pulled into something far beyond our reach and slain if we weren't more cautious.
I REALLY hope however, that the Empire at large pays attention, and at least has good reasons for not reinforcing the Sect after this. I CAN see them doing something like altering Sect priorities given that more then a few noble 2nd and 3rd from Heirs probably just died, to say nothing of the loss of the Elder, but uhh, yeah that's a significant hole blown in the Empire's defenses, and I expect to see some major mobilization as a result.
EDIT: Because why doublepost when you have an edit button?
A consequence of how we set the thing up-it does a lot of little number-boosting across the board instead of having big flashy actions like freezing someone solid, it makes all our songs that much more effective and whatnot. I'd have to double-check the re-forging that happened but I imagine that number-boosting nature probably set it away from doing something big and flashy.
