Leveraging the bodily control studied in Wardance, the Dance of the Blade enabled the accomplished Wardancer to use two swords independently of one another. While the opponent was focused on the fury of one sword, the other could be brought in to disarm him altogether. Observers of the dance were often so distracted by its beauty that they were slain before they are aware they had been attacked.

In the year 84 AM, the skills of Wardance, Bladedance, and Shielddance were combined into two new fighting techniques known as Maiming and Rampage. As the Wardancers evolved into the new class of Berserkers, they also gained the ability to create Warchants.
