No serious soldier would ever consider using an Ashblade, but street-punks (who see the value of a usable magic weapon on the cheap) have learnt to appreciate Ashblade's and to make use of their qualities. An Ashblade is slightly irregular and "sticky" so it tends to catch (and get caught on) enemy weapons. An Ashblade tends to lose pieces when it strikes, making it a little fragile, but leaving fragments in wounds. These little differences make an Ashblade a temperamental, but versatile weapon.'' |
