I'm sure this idea has been suggested before.. but since I don't see why shouldn't it be put in:
*This idea can most likely replace my last idea

Held Mana spell, self only
Pre-req 3 spells in the respective element, besides Aether (Flame Edge, Lightning Edge, Frost Edge, Stone Edge, Swift(Air) Edge)

Syntax:

Prep EleW <fire|water|elect|earth|air>
cast <weapon>

Flame adds heat damage; Frost adds cold; Lightning, Electricity;

Stone would summon the earth around the caster to gather around the blade to strengthen and reinforce it, extending the blade to pole range (no change on pole weapons) and slighly improve all 3 types of damage, with emphasis on impact (on blunts, creating spikes, on edges.. making them heavier), at the cost of making it heavier and less balanced. The modified balance penalty can be remedied by magical devices (or mechanical lore?) as you would be tinkering with the new form to make it more wieldly.

Swift would be exactly as my previous post, reducing weapon RT by 1 second, double if Zephyr is present, cannot go below minimum RT.

I want my sword to have a monofilament ethereal edge! And the impact of a mountain!
Just kidding.
No, really, I do.



Hahahahahahha

Well, aether seems to hit armor currently, so I think that the D&D conception of (a)ethereal stuff bypassing mundane things isn't part of DR.

>Well, aether seems to hit armor currently, so I think that the D&D conception of (a)ethereal stuff bypassing mundane things isn't part of DR.
Yeah, no way. If it did that I wouldn't be able to get an ethereal monofilament edge!

>Maybe an ethereal weapon could hit noncorporeal undead without a bless, but would be useless against anything corporeal?
What?!?!? Why would it hit undead?!?!? Aethereal weapons already hit corporeal stuff. Eg, Aether Lash. Any other way wouldn't make sense.

<<Nope. You'll still need a bless, I don't think that will ever change. There's a different between aether and the undead.>>

I know, I was posting my suggestions in a facetious manner.

Maybe aether could do something as simple as improve the weapon's balance, and earth something as simple as increase its construction, and electricity something as simple as increase its damage suitability... Or other, more interesting effects, of course.

sweep head
< Driving in like the irresistable force of a cyclone, you sweep a spiked ball and chain at a fire maiden. A fire maiden barely fails to block with a blackened greatsword. The ball and chain lands an extremely heavy hit that vaporizes the skull into a fine scarlet mist (Mom would not be pleased!).
The fire maiden screams in anguish and lies still.

Like that? :grin:

Jim, been keeping some of my weapon hits just to amuse myself and friend later.

I've stopped training circle wise. I'm totally focused on getting all non combat skills to 100 that I use even semi-frequently and getting all combat skills up to my TM, from weapons to armor and parry.

Oh and I am trying to get skinning, hide and stalking up to my TM as well.

It's only been briefly mentioned, but can I request that we be able to create better weapons based on the skill that would be appropriate to its mundane creation? For example, Air Bow and Fire Sword were mentioned. Can these be tied into a pattern in the creation system so that skills and techniques apply? I can't remember of Aegis if Granite is still planned to create a shield, but if so, can that also be based on whichever creation skill is appropriate.

Also, can we get the Mend spell? Back when it was scratched because it wouldn't be required for WM Enchanting, I asked if it could keep the weapon/armor repair aspect and contest the upcoming creation skill that's appropriate and got a "Maybe."
