Ifrit Swordsman

An ifrit swordsman is bound to a sword and must fight for whoever draws it. He recites the terms of the binding aloud before the first engagement and keeps them exactly, including the terms that do not suit the person holding the sword. He announces unasked which term that person is about to break.
