Crystalis Elemental Weapons

Each weapon is initially found as a blade protruding from a stone. When the future wieldier pulls the weapon from the stone the weapon takes on a glow as it binds to its new owner before turning into an amorphous mass of liquid metal in its owner’s hands. The owner then decides what form their weapon should take. The elemental weapon can take on the shape of nearly any weapon and is required to be made of either steel or wood. The weapon becomes a +1 magical weapon of the chosen type. Example, the extractor wishes a long sword, the elemental weapon assumes the shape and becomes a +1 long sword. The elemental weapon assumes the damage of the copied weapon type as well. (NOTE: Someone who already has one of these elemental weapons bound to them may not posses another. Also only the owner may wield the weapon.)


Each weapon is part of a 3-piece set consisting of the weapon, ring and bracer of the same element. Both the ring and bracer must be worn on the same hand as the one wielding the weapon to amplify the weapons power. The weapon starts out as +1 but grows by +1 with each piece worn to a max of +3. Additionally the weapon by itself has a maximum of 10 elemental charges and gains +5 to its maximum for each additional piece worn to a max of 20. Standard charge regeneration is 1 per day. The weapon starts with 0 charges and does not begin to generate charges until 24 hrs after the binding. (NOTE: these set pieces may not receive additional enchantments other then Weapon Augment Crystals, and those Weapon Augment Crystals which are used may not posses or promote an element other then the weapons natural element.)


Each weapon is capable of firing off an elemental blast. There are three levels of blast, each cost a different number of charges, affects an increasingly greater area, and does increased damage above the previous. Only a level 1 blast can be fired from the weapon without the presence of the ring or bracer. To fire a blast the caster must concentrate on the weapon for a standard action before hand. Standard casting rules such as concentration checks if threatened or distracted and provoking attacks of opportunity apply. The weapon also requires a standard action for the blast itself. So to fire a level 1 blast it requires 2 consecutive standard actions and 1 elemental charge. A level 2 blast requires 3 consecutive standard actions and 3 elementals charges. A level 3 blast requires 3 consecutive standard actions followed by a full round action and 5 elemental charges. (NOTE: if the weapon assumes a rod, wand or other spell-like weapon implement it looses the ability to do elemental damage on melee strike. Instead it requires move actions instead of standard actions when building up a blast levels.)


Once the 2nd set piece is obtained a utility ability becomes available. The utility is different for each weapon and is usable only once a day and consumes 2 elemental charges from the weapon when used. Once all 3 set pieces are obtained this ability is usable 3 times per day.

Power boosting items, non-discriminate

The items listed in this section are unique items that affect all elemental weapons equally when equipped. Owners of the elemental weapons may only benefit from one of these items at a time. Equipping these items consumes 2 elemental charges each time they are equipped, so try to stick to one and change out infrequently. Attempting to equip more then one at a time will still consume elemental charges as normal but will cause both items to cease to function immediately and remain that way until only one is equipped.

Deo’s Luck Band: – Doubles charge regeneration increasing regeneration to 2 charges per day.

Deo’s Pendant: - Reduces the consumption of charges slightly. Utilities use 1 charge, level 2 blasts use 2 charges, and level 3 blasts use 4 charges

Warrior’s ring: – The weapon wielder may level 1 blast in place of attacks including full-attacks.

Power ring: – Increase all elemental damage dice inherent to the elemental weapon by 1 size category.

Amulet of true depths: - Increase maximum attainable elemental charges by 5 and increase chance to hit with elemental weapon or blast by +1 towards your target each time you miss against them in melee or with a blast.

Band of Invention: – Increases level 2 blast size by 50% and level 3 blast size by 25%.

Serpent’s Styx: – This charm causes you to use 2x charge increments as health instead of charge, removes all charges on acquisition. Regeneration does not begin until item is removed from person.

Attempting to remove it from your person yourself will cause it to teleport to a hiding spot on your person. Someone else must remove it willingly and intentionally from your person, which causes it to bind to him or her. It is made of solid gold, is nearly indestructible and will not allow itself to be sold.
