Harrowheart steps back and begins the complicated work of undoing hidden clasps on the leather bracers that hold his hands to his wrists. When one gloved hand is loose it works undoing the other, and then both are free to float.
His two hands then grip the horns of the skull at the hilt of his blade and pull outward. With a flash of blue light and a quiet scream the blade cleaves in two down the center, magically splitting into a pair of one-handed swords, each with half a hilt and handgrip. He holds his arms in front of him and the half-swords float into place against his forearms, blades outward and extending past his wrists as if to take the place of his hands. With his hands free he can grip his forearms and conjure chains of ice to lash the weapons there where they belong.
And then he proceeds to demonstrate some kind of karate moves, slicing and dicing and chopping and prodding the air, fighting invisible enemies and making 'woosh-woosh, pah!' sounds as he does. He stops before he accidentally pokes anyone's souls out and grins at Hephaestia and her girlfriend.
"So I can slice people up, but my hands are still free to cast! The runeforger knew I was used to single-handed weapons, and they thought it was an opportunity to experiment with a trick from the Kirin Tor – the mage order on my world."
