They primarily use swords, which are distributed to members based on what the Prescripts deem suitable. Prescripts must be achieved at all costs, yet success or failure depends on the interpretation of the Prescript. Those who fail are punished by Proxies. The crucial Prescripts are created by a loom spinning incoherent lines recorded by a pendulum reacting to the vibrations of the entire City. These lines are turned into words, sealed with wax by a Weaver, and thus a Prescript is completed. Messengers deliver them to Index members and residents of the Backstreets under Index protection. If the seal of the Index is correctly stamped, it is treated as a genuine Prescript even if it is a forgery. However, no matter how well a fake is made, it is seen through, and the fate of the forger is left to the Prescripts (whether they are overlooked or punished depends on the Prescript).
