Athrys's Embrace

Weighted Knife bounces a second time. Rapid precision hits with your weapons give it a significant damage bonus, bonus melee and the ability to stun unshielded combatants for a short time, and an empowered knife is strong against Unstoppable Champions.

The perk is built for Hunters who use Weighted Knife as their melee and land precision shots in quick succession. The blurb printed on the piece points to an Eliksni proverb about the fiercest warrior being the one who shields hatchlings.
