Edge of the Legion Upgrade

Equipment

Item Name: Edge of the Legion
Item Type: Personal Sword of Fantasia (Claymore)
Used For: As it is a sword, it is intended to be used as an offensive weapon. It also is the medium for Fantasia's Anima Stone.
Item Description: The Claymore sword by itself is a heavy two-handed double-edged sword, symmetrical in design. The pommel is of silver steel, capping the bottom of the grip with a small spike. The grip itself is a simple metal cylinder with black tape wrapping to roughly increase the security of the grip. The hilt is minimal, like two metal feathers perpendicular to the blade itself. Finally, the blade, which is four inches width at the base all the way down to the sharp point at the tip. The heavy metal is thick so that it does not bow easily to any attack. One of the heaviest swords available, this Claymore is for the strong swings and thrusts.

However, due to it also possessing Fantasia's Anima Stone in the hilt, it also channels her brand of Soul Sorcery as well, and over time has acquired astonishing traits and synergy with Fantasia to greatly assist her in combat with grander foes:

- Stand United: The greater numbers Fantasia is able to bring out in clones, the stronger the Edge of the Legion and its possessor grows. It makes up for the girl's initial human weakness compared to the other races she must face. As time passes on and Fantasia's numbers grow, the weapon imbues its wielder with a passive strength, speed, and reflex boost, while also increasing the sharpness, weight, and durability of the weapon itself (Not Fantasia or her clones). Each clone in existence grants a boost of 10% speed, strength, and reflex to the wielder's current total capabilities at the time, whether the wielder be Fantasia or a clone of herself. Each clone will grant a boost of 25% sharpness, weight, and durability to each sword, cloned or not. It may not be so much a big deal to begin with, but it can quickly get out of control for any opponents if too many clones are spawned.

- Featherballast: This is an incredibly simple passive ability, that counterbalances the weight of the great Claymore, regardless of any weight increases that may be applied to the sword itself. The weapon has grown somewhat of a activeness that has allowed it understand Fantasia's needs and conform to them. This being a prime example, the weapon has grown incredibly light in her hands, like that as a feather. And yet as a paradox, it maintains its weight against everything else. Never has such a cumbersome weapon been so graceful. This ability applies to clones and their respective swords.

- Mirror's Edge: Similar to Featherballast, this is a passive trait that has overtaken the Edge of the Legion as Fantasia's need for it grew. It applies a special ability to the blade section of the Claymore that allows it to combat magical abilities such as Cero, Chaos Blasts, other SOul Sorcery, et cetera, whereas before it was simply just metal. Specifically among these abilities, the blade is meant to deflect long range attacks of a magical or energy or similar type—projectiles, waves, and beams can be parried by Fantasia's blade just as well as a physical attack could, essentially. This ability can be used by clones.

- Recall: This is a very essential, but limited ability. Simply, when used and while within one-hundred meters of Fantasia, it calls her blade back to her, causing the weapon to fly to her awaiting hand by blasting through what it can and circumventing what it can't. This ability has a cooldown of five posts, unfortunately. Clones can also use this ability, and each has its own separate cooldown.

- Butterfly: This ability shows just what incredible swordsmanship combined with Fantasia's Soul Sorcery can accomplish. A skill that becomes more potent as Fantasia's Soul State increases, Butterfly is a magical maneuver that plays into her duplication capabilities. When activated, she utilizes a technique which splits her body into several separate phantom images—they are translucent, misty, and hard to focus on apparitions that seem to be ethereal, especially when each image is capable of moving through the others without tangible contact. However, whenever the image interacts with anything else, they will be as physical as reality. That means they can kill, just as well as they can be killed. If the case be that one of the images dies, it will disappear into nothingness, and if at any point there is only one remaining image, that image will solidify into Fantasia and end the technique. This ability lasts for one full post if there is two or more images remaining, ending immediately upon the next with the real Fantasia taking the place of any one of the remainders. Normally, this creates three images and has a cooldown of five posts before it can be used again. In Soul State One, the amount of images increases to four. In Soul State Two, the cooldown is reduced to four posts. And in Fully Awakened Form, the amount of images increases to five. Note that if Fantasia is not wielding her sword in her hand, this ability cannot be performed; neither can it be performed by clones.

Obtained From: Her first mentor, Rubeus, had gifted her the weapon once she had completed her lessons of sword-fighting. As time went on and Fantasia's Anima Stone imbued the weapon with Soul Power, its capabilities became astounding.
Yen Price: N/A [Already Owned, Upgrade by Training]
Notes: This is Fantasia's signature weapon, and she is rarely seen without it due to it possessing her Anima Stone. Additionally, this weapon comes with a scabbard that can be strapped to her back.

mmkay looks good however ; Butterfly.

The only thing that I think would be hanky is the fact that if several images attack at once, they will all contact reality. However, it just seems Phantasia scattered ehrself into these images. I would like to see a limit of one image being able to touch something real at a time, just to make it more sense. Would that be fine? And perhaps some longer cooldowns on some of the other capabilities, because that could stack powerfully very fast.

But yeah. <3

Butterfly images can all contact the same thing at once. It's kind of the idea I got in my head if I'm only facing one person, trying to ward off three different attacks in the same interval of time. Also, if only one can interact with one thing at a time, that means only one image can stand on the ground :c

Excepting the Recall ability, pretty much any ability I have has a linked cooldown among all clones or can't be used among clones at all. I can increase Recall to like five posts.

Can't you do that with your clones anyway? @Butterfly

Just seems needlessly repetitive to me. Like it'd basically, each image is an extra clone, more or less, but has a set time where as the others don't. So fesibly, you can just do 10 clones to make it 100% on your sword (250% @sharpness and the other set) and do images to make it something like 15-20 of them all at one. See what I mean?

Hmm, maybe increase the cool downs on it, and then I'll be fine, just don't abuse it sorta deal.

Yes, it may seem repetitive, but it also has good utility in my mind. But I increased the cooldowns.
