Weapon Pyrotechnics
ya know something? everytime I play Soul Calibre, and other similar games, I really like the flash and flare the weapons give up, the little bits and blurs of light and the like.
Would that be hard to do? I wonder.
I think it would be a magical thing bards could do. Tuning Weapons like Instruments, to Perform for their masters. I think this would work best on mundane weapons, nothing with lots of verbs already attached, although I'm certain dyed and forged weapons should be allowed to have these functions added.
A weapon could have up to 2 combinations placed on it, but bards would have up to 5 combinations available.
Special bardic weapons , perhaps bonded through Pyschometry? could have all 5 combinations tuned onto them.
This is done by tuning a weapon with sub-sonic vocalizations and weaving magic into the melody. When the weapon strikes an object it has a 20% chance of activating it's tuning. Tuning tends to wear off after so many uses. Also by wielding, dancing with the weapon, or waving the weapon around the wielder has a 100% chance of activating its flashy effects.
The vibrations tuned into each weapon, interact with the force of the air, causing strange, paranormal interactions.
should probably make the system open-ended enough so that additional color requests, or other things can be added later-on.
Tune Weapon Color (red, black, green, blue-white, gold, orange, violet, white rainbow)
Tune Weapon Pulse ( quick flares, flickers, dancing lights)
Tune Weapon Noise (Zzzing!, Zweeeeeee, Swooosh!, Shhhing!, Thhunk!, Chink!)
Tune Weapon Steady (dull red glow, shining golden aura, shining silver aura, bright blue glow)
Tune Weapon Speak (Custom Start Phrase, Glory!, Vigilance, Victory!)
Custom Start would be a specifically high bard ability, that would let a Bard give a sword enough vibrations to almost seem like speech-song.
Sircha wields her dueling iltesh a White Rainbow of Dancing Lights accompanies the light sweeping Swooosh! as she holds it ready. The iltesh hums and seems to sing the phrase: "For Death and Glory!"
