The name Yama Kaji Nyoko means the Wildfire Gem. An heirloom of the Hayashi Clan that houses the flame of life. It is a wooden halberd crafted out of Phoenix Wood and processed with the flame of life. It normally is a quarterstaff but currently manifests as a halberd. When awakened, the attuned person can change the shape of the item through an 8-hour ritual that requires completely dismantling the item with fire and having it grow out of natural soil. The tip of the blade houses the embers of life from the ever burning flame that was housed in the Hayashi Sanctuary.
