The covenant currently has no items invested with this effect. The last weapon that had it was a spear created by Caradoc, which was lost when Caradoc and Daniel the Swordsman were shipwrecked in 1160.

This charm was made by Caradoc so he could seek revenge for the death of his brother, see Ghost of Owain.

The Charm of Dragon Slaying is an enchantment that can be invested into a magical weapon. This effect is for an invested device (only) and cannot be used for a lesser enchantment. 

Base Effect: Perdo Animal 5, halve the Protection of a dragon-kin's scales. (Heals as a Light Wound)
Range: Touch
Duration: Momentary
Adjustments: Penetration 40 (+20 levels), 1 use/day (+0 levels)
 
The effect is activated by saying or shouting "For Owain" while attacking with the weapon. 
If the strike misses, the effect is wasted. Note that this activating stroke must overcome the target's 
full Soak, but the effect works regardless of whether the attack did any damage.
