WEAPONS AND ATTACKS: Minerva is the keeper of the Nocturnal Spear. This spear actually sings when gusts of wind are drawn through the strings strung on it; the singing sounds like a choir of people backed up by an orchestra, but you can rarely understand what they are singing. It usually just sounds like, "Ahhhhhhhhh..."

Soul Song: Sailorminerva holds her spear up, parallel to her body, and cries, "Soul Song!" A gust of wind blows through the strings on the spear, playing a lovely song. Then Minerva throws the spear at the target and appears to impale them with it, though there is no blood. The Spear plays the song of the person's heart. If the song is pretty, then they have a good, pure heart. If the song is ugly and out of tune, they have a bad, evil heart. This attack can also reveal the true nature of someone's intentions. When Sailorminerva pulls the spear back out, the wound disappears, as if they were never harmed at all.
Nocturnal Spear: Minerva holds the Spear parallel with her body and begins to spin around until the air blowing through the Spear's strings makes a loud song. Then she suddenly stops and cries, "Nocturnal Spear!" throwing it at the same time. The enemy thinks that the Spear will be coming at them from the front, but it actually strikes them from the back or side because the attack is something of an optical illusion. The Spear does stab them and really hurt them, though.
Clear Heart: A power used to heal those who have been hurt. Sailorminerva says, "Clear Heart," and stabs the injured person in the heart with her Spear. Waves of energy pass over the person until they are healed. Then Minerva withdraws the Spear and they are left unharmed by it. Of course this power can cause some wacky misunderstandings from those who don't know what it does. The power can also be used to clear the heart of someone who has been corrupted by evil.
