=== Appearance: ===
The Aetherblade Halberd is a masterfully crafted polearm that combines elements of ethereal beauty and martial functionality. Its blade is made from a rare, translucent material resembling a shard of crystallized ethereal energy. This material shimmers with a soft glow as it catches the ambient light.
The haft, constructed from a silvered wood carved from a tree grown under a lunar eclipse, is adorned with delicate runes that seem to pulse with astral energy. The halberd's overall design gives it an otherworldly and celestial appearance.
When activated, the Aetherblade Halberd emits a faint hum, resonating with the rhythmic pulse of the ethereal plane. During the execution of the Planar Slicer ability, the halberd's blade trails a trail of shimmering, astral energy as it sweeps through the air, creating a visually stunning display of the weapon's mystical power.
