Emissa's Obsidian Dagger begins as an unremarkable volcanic-glass blade in The Will of the Many, its plain, non-glowing surface marking it as a tool rather than a relic. Across the series the dagger evolves from a simple personal weapon into a conduit for latent Hierarchy powers, its glassy edges gradually revealing faint, vein-like luminescence that hints at a deeper connection to the ancient Will-based energies. By later volumes the dagger becomes both a symbol of Emissa's growing autonomy and a key instrument in unlocking forbidden rites, transforming from a utilitarian shard of obsidian into a focal point for rebellion against the established order.
