I am very pleased to announce, that Warrior Mages once again have the ability to create Elemental Weapons. This ability is live in Prime and Plat. TF will follow soon.
How it works:
- Base Ability:
- Available to all WMs immediately after joining the guild.
- SUMMON WEAPON will create a Tier 2 weapon that is a template of your highest melee skill.
- This uses Elemental Charge, and is an Earth ability.
- You may TURN the summoned weapon to swap it between the two templates for that skill
- Roundtime for all verbs scales down fairly quickly with Summoning skill.
- Metaspells:
- There are six metaspells that modify this ability, one in each book.
- All metaspells require Elementalism.
- All metaspells are on Premium preview.
- Knowledge of any metaspell raises the base weapon to Tier 3.
- The Air metaspell (Quick Infusions) reduces the RT of SUMMON, SHAPE, and TURN by 4 seconds.
- The Aether metaspell (Expansive Infusions) allows you to create weapons for any skill. The syntax is SUMMON WEAPON {skill}, or SHAPE {weapon} TO {skill}.
- The Earth metaspell (Reinforced Infusions) allows the user to get additional Tier bumps from Crafting Techniques and holding a rare metal ingot*.
- The Electricity metaspell (Shocking Infusions) allows the user to create weapons that do electric damage. The syntax is SUMMON WEAPON ELECTRIC or SHAPE {weapon} TO ELECTRIC.
- The Fire metaspell (Fiery Infusions) allows the user to create weapons that do fire damage. The syntax is SUMMON WEAPON FIRE or SHAPE {weapon} TO FIRE.
- The Water metaspell (Icy Infusions) allows the user to create weapons that do cold damage. The syntax is SUMMON WEAPON ICE or SHAPE {weapon} TO ICE.
*The ingot must be of a certain quality, and if it is below a certain volume, the quality will be lowered. The volume required to avoid this quality penalty scales with Summoning skill, ending at over 1500 ranks. Regardless of skill, there is always a small random chance of quality loss. The quality loss is very small.
