No, it's ok, i get why your confused.

Thw whole point of the ritual is, yes, a blessing, and it doesn't need a special magical sword or blade, it just has to be a blade. Heck, you can go it with a knife!

Also, i designed it for Kanahebi, Musoka and Zanya, so you must understand that they are from those kinds of families who know about this sort of stuff.

So, the whole thing is that, the family or those closest to the girl trusts the would-be mate, the would-be mate has faith that he will not die, and the girl or the would-be female mate knows that they trust each other completely. To know that a) her brother/cousin/close male friend/etc. trusts the mate and b) the mate knows that he is trusted with the safety of the girl and stuff like that.

It does sound like a wedding, but it's not that, it's just a blessing, the yes to the question "Am i allowed to date/possibly marry your sister/daughter/cousin/close female friend/etc.?".

The consequence is a little over, i agree, but hey, it's not supposed to be modern, and it's fantasy, my area. Not all of it can be explained, you just have to roll with it, like in a dream. :)

So yeah, that happens, i hope i cleared it up for you, Roxas-sama. :)
