History

Appearance
Sightblinder is virtually indistinguishable from the other Swords, with the exception of the white eye engraved on its hilt. It is a one-meter, double-edged Sword with a black hilt, forged by Vulcan and cooled in human blood. Like the other Swords, it retains its edge and luster regardless of use.

Abilities
Sightblinder possess the ability to cloak its wielder, allowing them to move freely wherever they choose. Anyone looking at the wielder will see either the one they love more than anything, or one they fear. The effect seems to be complete, as even the demonically-derived sight of Vilkata was not enough to discern that the Sword was in use.

In addition, Sightblinder is capable of allowing the user to see the truth of a given situation; the Sword allowed Mark to discern Draffut's origins as a normal dog. Lastly, the Sword provides some measure of protection from the powers of other Swords, as it prevented Mark from giving in to the power of the Mindsword, despite his proximity. Speculation is that this is because Mark was able to discern the effect of Skulltwister for what it was, but even so had to resist the Sword of Glory's pull.

Verse
From the Song of Swords:

The Sword of Stealth is given to

One lonely and despised.

Sightblinder's gifts: His eyes are keen

His nature is disguised.
