I was given the go ahead for a rework of this weapon a while back, but I was unsure how much leeway I would be given for adding tricks. I have taken some liberties due to the simple description. There was not a picture in my vault, so I have supplied one myself.
I am unsure if Switch Stance should be B Tier or not, as I am unsure what constitutes each tier, but since I aim to upgrade this weapon using the Deph Ore shop, would it be possible to grade each function regardless?
- Maculis:
Name: Maculis
Tier: B
Type: Magic Weapon - Whip
Magic Type: Acid
Appearance: A steel whip around 3.5 metres long made from interlocking purple coloured chains.
Function:- Corrosive Seep - Feeding magoi into this causes it to secrete an acidic ooze along the whip.. The acid deals B-tier damage on contact and each coat of acid on the whip lasts up to 3 posts. 10 magoi to activate | 5 magoi to sustain.
Tricks:- Stance Switch (D Tier) - A wire threads through the steel chains in this weapon, hence the whip. If the wire should be drawn taut, however, the chains will retract and stack onto one another, forming a one and half metre polearm. In order to facilitate this, the handle has a bolt that connects to the wire, where the wire coils into a spring, controlling the retraction and release of the springs. It is not an instant process to switch the weapon from whip into polearm, but the bolt ensures that it does not take too long.
- Off Distance (C Tier) - A series of grooves have been marked into each chain, primed for other coatings (such as scents or poisons). As a whip, this allows coatings to be launched as a ranged basic attack that may reach up to 10 metres or used in mid-ranged abilities (dependent upon the individual ability). If used as in a basic ranged attack, the coating will be used up and must be reapplied. As a pole-arm, however, this ensures that the coatings remain on the weapon (and ranged basic attacks and abilities derived thereof are unable to be used). At this rank, one coating may be registered with this weapon for free, but more must be registered and counted separately.
- Burnt Edge (D Tier) - A coating of violet phosphorus covers the chains, hence the colour. If struck against a hard surface such as stone or metal, the coating will spark and cause subsequent strikes to deal additional basic fire damage (D Tier) for one post, meaning that it must be reignited before use in a new post. This coating is not affected when other coatings are used with Off Distance.
- Corrosive Seep - Feeding magoi into this causes it to secrete an acidic ooze along the whip.. The acid deals B-tier damage on contact and each coat of acid on the whip lasts up to 3 posts. 10 magoi to activate | 5 magoi to sustain.
