	Losing all your MP is a major downside: even if your character relies entirely on melee, many divine abilities require MP, so watch out before using this spell.

You don't actually ''lose'' your MP: the blade merely borrows it, and if for any reason the Rending Blade disappears (times out, takes too much damage) then the MP, minus the four MP actually used to cast it, is refunded back to you.

			[[Coglin]]'s <code>SpellMotor</code> gizmos particularly synergize with the Rending Blade: <code>SpellMotor</code> will make your Coglin attack in melee when casting spells, so if a monster is in melee range when you cast Rending Blade, you: (1) summon the rending blade, (2) attack in melee, possibly hitting up to two times, and (3) thereby trigger the rending blade into actually slashing. Note that reaching weapons will also get triggered by <code>SpellMotor</code> against monsters two tiles away. Increasing your <code>Rev</code> with the <code>SpellMotor</code> will also lower the cost of spells, so natural MP regeneration even while the Rending Blade is out will let you cast up to level 4 spells occasionally, with excellent turn efficiency if any monster is within your melee range: (1) cast any spell, (2) attack in melee, possibly hitting up to two times, and (3) thereby trigger the rending blade.
