=== Construction Requirements: ===
Crafting the Light Bane Flail requires a fragment of an eclipsed sunstone, a piece of obsidian exposed to total darkness, and the essence of a spell that manipulates shadows. The cost of construction is 2,700 gold pieces.
=== Appearance: ===
The Light Bane Flail is a masterfully crafted weapon with a unique blend of radiant and umbral elements. The flail head consists of a series of spiked metal orbs, each embedded with a small eclipsed sunstone that dims or brightens based on the ambient light. The chain linking the orbs is made from a darkened metal, resembling the shadows that cling to the brilliance of light.
When wielded, the flail emanates a subtle radiant and shadowy aura. During combat, the eclipsed sunstones within the flail head intermittently release bursts of subdued light and shadows, creating a captivating and mystical display.
Upon activation of the Umbral Strike ability, the flail's orbs intensify with shadowy energy, and a temporary umbral veil envelops the weapon. This burst of darkness contrasts sharply with the radiant elements, providing a dualistic representation of both light and shadow in one formidable flail.
The Light Bane Flail is a versatile weapon, capable of both defending against radiant attacks and harnessing the power of shadows to debilitate foes. It serves as a symbol of balance in the eternal struggle between light and darkness.
