Alright, let’s talk about this Elemental Weapon thing, whatever it is. Sounds fancy, like somethin’ them city folk would jabber about.
So, from what I gather, it’s about takin’ a regular ol’ weapon, ya know, like a hammer or a sword, and makin’ it…magical. Like, poof! All of a sudden, it ain’t just a hunk of metal anymore.
- Now, they say you gotta touch the thing. Not sure why, maybe it’s like blessin’ it or somethin’. Anyways, you touch it, and then, bam! It’s magic.
- And it ain’t just any magic, mind you. It’s got this…elemental stuff goin’ on. Sounds like fire and thunder and such. You get to pick, apparently.
They got these different kinds of, uh, damage, they call it. Acid, like that stuff that burns. Cold, like winter wind. Fire, well, that’s easy enough. Lightning, like when the sky cracks open. And thunder, that big boom you hear after.
So, you pick one of them, and that’s what your weapon does now. Say you pick fire, well, now your hammer’s gonna burn stuff when you hit it. Or if you pick cold, maybe it freezes stuff. I dunno, seems kinda showy to me, but whatever floats yer boat.
Now, they also say somethin’ about how long this magic lasts. “Duration” they call it. Sounds like it ain’t forever. Probably runs out after a bit, and then you gotta do the touchy thing all over again. Like chargin’ up a battery, I guess.
And there’s talk about extra damage too. So, not only does your weapon do the regular whackin’ and smackin’, but now it does extra burnin’ or freezin’ or whatever. Makes sense, I s’pose, if you’re gonna go through all that trouble of makin’ it magic.
Someone was goin’ on about some “Pentacle” bein’ an earth weapon. I ain’t never heard of no Pentacle, but if they say it’s earth, then I guess it is. Maybe it’s like a rock tied to a stick, beats me. They sure do like fancy names for things.
And them spiritual bein’s, they got somethin’ to do with it too, apparently. Every element’s got ‘em, like little helpers or somethin’. Maybe they’re the ones makin’ the magic happen, who knows? It’s all a bit much for an old woman like me.
But it boils down to this, best as I can tell: Elemental Weapon means takin’ a regular weapon and makin’ it magic with fire or cold or whatever, so it does extra damage for a while. Then you gotta do it all over again. Simple as that, even if they use all them fancy words to explain it.
They keep repeatin’ the same thing over and over, so I guess it must be important. Touch the weapon, pick a damage type, and there ya go. You got yerself an Elemental Weapon. Now, whether ya need it or not, that’s a whole ‘nother story.
Honestly, seems like a lot of fuss for nothin’. Back in my day, a good swing with a sturdy stick was all ya needed. But times change, I reckon, and folks get all these newfangled ideas.
Anyway, that’s the gist of it. Hope you understand it better than I do. All this talk about magic and elements, makes my head spin.
