Falcon Quills

Falcon Quills (翼戦士（よくせんし）の羽根ペン, Yokusenshi no hane pen, "Winged Warriors' Feather Pen (Quills)") are devices developed and used by the Sumeragi Institute of Human Evolution, functioning effectively as the successor to Glaive technology. They appear to function similarly in basic principle; once activated by its user, the Falcon Quill will force them to undergo a transformation, also referred to as Armed Phenomenon (変身(アームド フェノメノン), Āmudo Fenomenon lit. Metamorphosis), which alters their body structure into a more combat-oriented form, and unleashes their Septima's full potential. They are only entrusted to already powerful Adepts selected to become Falcons.

However, they do not restrict the user's Septima and appear to be mass produced, making them closer in concept to the Grimoires developed by Eden, which were also based off Glaives. Also like Grimoires, the Quills derive their power from the Muse Septima - specifically, the Butterfly Effect.

To employ it, the user draws a circle with the Quill while saying "contract". The circle then develops into a multilayered magic-circle of sorts which infuses the user with power, transforming them.

Upon defeat, its user briefly returns to their normal state before bursting into a flurry of feathers, leaving only the Quill behind. Soon after a ball of light leaves the Quill before it crumbles to dust.

With the Butterfly Effect's destruction, it can be assumed any remaining Falcon Quills have been rendered inert or have severely reduced effects.

Trivia

• The Falcon Quills are a direct reference to the organization of the same name. This is carried over in the Japanese version as well, where Falcon Quills are referred to as Feather Pens, while the group is named Feather. This naming choice provides a subtle hint towards the individual who is behind the events of the game.
