* Can slice through a War Mage's shields as though they weren't there.
* Always returns no matter what.

### Character / Nature

* Made with Dark Magic and seems to have a will of its own.
* Like any Dark Weapon, it's fickle—they always go to the greatest source of power, in order to increase their own (per Pritkin).
* It mostly obeyed her commands, but it never passed up a chance to act on it's own based on former situations, or perceive threats.
* Seemed to dislike Pritkin even more than Cassie did.
* They're unreliable—their loyalty is in question, they came off a dark mage—they serve her now because it suits their purpose.
* it's uncertain they'll work in Faerie

### Physical Description

* Silver and formed of what looked like tiny, interlocking daggers; it had no clasp as though it had been soldered onto his arm.
* The knives it shoots are tiny and gaseous-looking—like light had been carved into shapes.

### 1. Touch the Dark

when Casie possessed Jonathan during the battle in Dante's lot, Pritkin tells her to destroy the **Dagger Bracelet**—she gets it off his arm with a lot of struggle and the pressures is off Pritkin. Next day she awakes to find it on her own wrist and unable to get it off. When Cassie got angry at Pritkin, and felt threatened by him, it sent two daggers at him, stabbing him in the chest. It sent two more when Pritkin shot at her.

At Carcassonne in 1661, Cassie's Dagger Bracelet shot Myra with two knives. It also killed three Dark Mages

### 2. Claimed by Shadow

Cassie still has the bracelet—she couldn't seem to get rid of it. She had buried it, flushed it down a toilet and fed it to a garbage disposal. No matter what she did, the next time I looked it was on my wrist again. In a shift to 1888 London at the Lyceum Theatre in 1888. She commands her dagger bracelet to break the bottle of poison, only, not Pritkin—saves Mircea . The Dagger swoops over the audience and bobs up and down like it's taking a bow.

At the 1888 vampire convocation, daggers shoot at Augusta when she attacked Mircea while possessed by Myra. When Myra leaves Augusta, Cassie tells them to go after her, but they were having too much fun with Augusta. Cassie may not be able to rely on them in Faerie. The Bracelet was just inert silver in Faerie.

Confronted by Myra in front of the Lyceum Theatre, Casie sends two knee at her which are defected and sent back at Cassie by Myra's new shield bracelet.
