- Modularity: No
- Production: Unique
- Material: Silver
- Provides a boost to force speed.
- Provides a boost to force valor
- Shiny: First and foremost the Heaven's Dance is a piece of handcrafted jewellery, and with or without its force imbued enhancements the Heaven's Dance remains an elegant accessory. Furthermore, given the thin nature of the metal, it is easy for the Heaven's Dance to hide away underneath clothes or armour when you don't want to put it on display.
- Speedy: The imbuement infused into the anklet provide the wearer with a boost to Force Speed making it easier for them to call on the power, moving faster while also enhancing their perceptions when needed.
- Brave: While speed is useful, John also had the ankle bracelet imbued with force valour, making it easier for Gianna to tap into the power, giving her a passive increase to her abilities.
- Passive: The anklet has no active or offensive abilities, providing only passive boosts to the wearer.
- Null Field: The abilities of the anklet are entirely based in the force, and any kind of force nullifying field would leave it as nothing but a pretty accessory.
- Beacon in the force: Imbued as it is the Heaven's dance stands out as a beacon in the force, detectable by other force users. If you were thinking about sneaking around...
In the aftermath of the Confederacy Invasion of Taanab John thought for a moment that he had lost his friend and didn't much like the thought of the world without her. In an effort to help her deal with any further situations she might find herself in with similar circumstances he started to wrack his brain to find away to give her an edge. Although a number of technological possibilities presented themselves to him, ultimately the man discarded them as not something that would suit Gianna. Instead of shields or heavy armour he decided instead to create a pair of force imbued anklets designed to boost and augment the woman's natural defensive abilities in the force.
Heaven's Dance was the first of these anklets, the accessory hand crafted by John in his workshop from pure silver. No gems or jewels adorned this accessory, it didn't need it. Instead the anklet was a tribute to John's abilities to manipulate pure metal as he twisted and polished to create a final product he felt worthy of his friend. It was then passed over to the alchemists in his employ to be imbued, giving it it's boosts to force speed and valour. While John had considered a number of options, speed and the overall boost of valour seemed to most useful, not just from a protective manner, but also in everyday life. When healing, sometimes time was of the essence, sometimes you just needed to be able to work that little bit faster to save someone, to save more than one person. With the boosts provided by Heaven's Dance, Gianna would be able to survive in a dangerous situation more easily, but also help more people with her healing, to be more herself.
