At some point in the stories, Vaskere gets better and better control over his powers. At one critical point he summons 12 rapiers of shadows to strike back (his usual fighting role is more support and defensive). 12 rapiers to represent 12 hours of night (this is a key number further in his personal stories).

I apologize to Ada for putting him through the ordeal of figuring out how to do the 12 rapiers. @.@
