This type of Tirobhava oath idealizes thorns and their way of acting as defense while inflicting damage. It associates weapons with thorns and thirsts for the blood they can spill, so favors those that swear to spill blood with its power, particularly if they do so to defend something else. Intangible in creation, this oath incorporates itself into or onto weapons in some way in the Wyld, such as a sword pommel or the gold engraving on a spear blade.
This type of Tirobhava oath tends to be incorporated into a defensive item in some way, shield crest or helmet. The nature of the oath tends to revolve around how defensive abilities will be used..

While the oath is upheld, the one who swears it gains a two die specialty to a single combat specialty. This specialty is related to the oath and does not count against specialty limits. The oathtaker ignores the multiple action penalties on her first five actions in a turn. She may also spend a point of gossamer to gain a reflexive parry at full Dexterity + Melee pool against an unblockable normal or ring- or sword-shaping attack, adding six bonus successes. If this ability is used to parry a shaping attack, it may parry another such attack for free in the same scene.
While the oath is upheld, the one who swears it gains +2 Strength, +1 Stamina, an additional -1/-2/-2 health levels and may soak lethal damage with full Stamina. They also gain the the ability to fly their full movement rate without penalty and may also move an additional waypoint per scene.
