[font color="7bddd5"][b]Rank of Weapon(s):[/b][/font] F
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Weapons(s):[/b][/font] Stahlblesk, like many weapons, has both melee and ranged capabilities.
It takes the form of a peculiar spear, with a sweeping blade-head that could be a sword within its own rights, a crossguard right below the blade. This makes it somewhat top-heavy, allowing it to be swung with unexpected force behind it for a spear. It’s total length is 8 feet/240 centimetres, with 3 feet belonging to the blade itself. The blade seems to have a two-pronged build, with a small gap in the middle of the blade, going down to its halfway point, where a barrel is visible. It is entirely constructed of various metal alloys, the handle being a dark gunmetal, the blade’s spine being a dark steel while the edge is a bright silver.
The pole itself is actually the body of the ranged portion of the gun, being somewhat rectangular in shape. A magazine locks into place right above the top hand-hold of the spear, while a trigger rests near the bottom hand-hold. A bolt and case ejector rests between the two. When utilized for range, it acts like a bolt action sniper rifle. Each shot is a powerful caliber, shot from the barrel in the middle of the bladehead, but also requires the bolt to be pulled back then back into place, manually ejecting the spent cartridge and chambering another round, limiting its fire-rate and use. The larger than average caliber, along with the size of the magazine, also means that each magazine only contains 5 rounds before needing to be reloaded. However, with how the weapon is usually wielded, and the lack of a stock to absorb recoil, it means the weapon is not very accurate over great range in the midst of combat, better used mid-close range.New Weapon:

The very end of the weapon has a red ribbon usually tied to it, with a length of 1 foot / 30.5 cm. This ribbon serves no purpose other than as an ornament as well a distraction to draw the eye to the bright red color, away from the blade.

There is also another, smaller trigger below the lower grip, which activates Błyskawica. The Cartridge for Błyskawica must be manually reloaded by unlatching a specific part of the upper receiver, near the bolt and chambering system.Also requesting expenditure of 75 XP from existing 148 XP (leaving 73 XP) for addition of new combat skill.
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Name of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Błyskawica - Lightning Dust
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Rank of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] F
[font color="7bddd5"][b]Description of Combat Ability:[/b][/font] Błyskawica is a combat ability which allows Nikolas to shoot a conical burst of Lightning Dust from the barrel of Stahlblesk.
Upon Pressing the trigger, this ability shoots the stored cartridge within Stahlblesk rather than shooting a regular projectile from his magazines. The result is a conical burst of lightning from the head of the weapon, with an emphasis on horizontal or vertical spread depending on the rotation alignment of the weapon's two-pronged blade. The AoE of the cone burst is 5 meters lengthwise from the barrel of the blade, and 3 meters at the emphasized spread line, 1.5 meters on the rest. It can hit multiple targets and inflicts the DoT caused by lightning dust. The impact and recoil of the blast can incur a good knockback force on both the victim as well as Stahlblesk respectively.
Błyskawica is contained in two cartridges, meaning it can be used only twice in a single fight and/or thread, unless there is a out-of-combat way to resupply and reload.
The use of lightning dust in this ability inflicts a DoT effect, which causes damage equivalent to the skill's current rank over the course of two turns (the first being when the attack hits).
Cosmetically, it appears as a burst of several thin arcs of lightning that diffuse into floating sparks before vanishing, both of which are white in coloration, with the expected amount of smoke that follows such a blast. It lets out a loud report that is very similar to the crack of thunder, with an accompanying echo and a sizzling noise. The weapon's blade and barrel itself continues to smoke for several seconds following this expulsion.
