Object
Sisterhood Fire-Spear
Ceremonial yet functional weapons wielded by the Sisterhood, these spears terminate in flickering blue-white flames instead of metal points. Their hafts are carved dark wood, wrapped with rough-hewn twine at grip and balance point, and slightly longer than a human arm. The fire never burns the Sisters’ hands, suggesting ritual mastery or advanced technology. During the interrogation, two Sisters brandish them horizontally at the Doctor’s throat, emphasizing the punitive rather than decorative nature of these implements.

Purpose
To intimidate and physically dominate prisoners, enforcing the Sisterhood’s authority within the shrine. Their flame likely functions as both a restraining beam and a torture device.
Significance
They embody the Sisterhood’s ruthless control over life and death. Their presence underscores both the Doctor’s immediate peril and the broader theme of coercive regimes disguising oppression as ritual sanctity.
