==Notes==
*Does not have a Signature Weapon bonus with Excalibur Umbra, likely due to balancing reasons, already having a unique trait and activating Excalibur Umbra's passive.
*All the Mastery Rank points that would normally be granted from ranking up the weapon will be automatically received upon acquiring it.
*Despite its mastery rank of 11, players of lower ranks can acquire and use this weapon.
*Finisher attacks with this weapon turn the user invisible for 5 seconds. Attacking or using an ability will break the invisibility, similar to the cloak provided by Shade and its precept.
**The invisibility period is not affected by mods.
**Performing a finisher while under the invisibility effect of the Skiajati will refresh the cloak's duration.
**Invisibility is not affected by Nullifier bubbles.
**'s does not activate the invisibility effect.
*The cloth piece is a fixed part of the sheath and not a removable cosmetic.
*Due to the special ability of this weapon, stances with finishers in them would be useful in proccing the effect. However, there are no Nikana stances containing finishers.
==Trivia==
*Σκιά (Skia) is Greek for shadow, while जाति (Jati) is Sanskrit for birth.
**This can either tie into the sword's relationship with Excalibur Umbra, with Umbra being Latin for shadow or to the weapon's passive ability to cloak its user.
*An alternative, simpler, interpretation uses यजति (Yajati), Sanskrit for sacrifice, reflecting the name and theme of the quest. This way, however, the origin of the sk- radical is left unclear.
**The स्क character of Devanagari makes the sk- sound, making स्कयजति a phonetical approximation of the weapon's name.
**The word सखि (Sakhi) is Sanskrit for friend.
*The weapon utilizes a similar model to the shikomizue or jotō katana, best described as a swordstick or staff sword.
*According to its Codex entry, the Skiajati is a normal Nikana "grafted" from Umbra's flesh.
