Eclipse

Eclipse is the primary weapon of Nocturne Argentum. It is an incarnation of the Argentum Family's Nameless Blade.
Eclipse is classified as a Plasma Dust Beam Sword (PDBS). The sword's edge can split away, allowing the base of the hilt to a project a beam of Plasma Dust that enable a much longer reach.
==Description==
===Eclipse Prima ===
The first version of Eclipse, retroactively known as Eclipse Prima, is a fairly large one-sided sword that bears resemblance with a falchion and a messer. Its blade has a subdued gray sheen with a black fuller with ornate engravings. It has a large silver-accented hilt guard housing a complicated mechanism.
===Eclipse Ultima===
Modifications over time culminated in Eclipse Ultima, an ever-evolving final form. The weapon's material has been reinforced by replacing it with a refined steel alloy that provides rigidity, giving the blade a darker luster. The hilt guard has also been given a gold coating.
On the outside, Eclipse Ultima is mostly unchanged from its previous incarnation, but the weapon's inner workings have been expanded upon. It has a much more defined groove splitting the blade down the middle. The weapon's single edge can thus split apart, allowing the base of the hilt to project a beam of Plasma Dust from between the blade.
===Sheath===
Eclipse's sheath was designed to be mounted on Nocturne's back via the use of a wearable electromagnet. The sheath utilizes an Aura ID system, preventing anyone other than Nocturne from unsheathing Eclipse.
When Nocturne unlocked his Semblance, he stopped using the sheath, preferring to keep Eclipse stored in his Semblance.
==History==
Nocturne received Eclipse when he turned 16. It is an incarnation of the Nameless Blade. It's predecessor, Astra, was reforged and rebuilt to create Eclipse.
When Nocturne's memories from his past life awoke, he found himself unable to utilize Eclipse, as the Aura ID prevented him from removing the sword from its sheath. However, since he was still able to swing it around, he utilized Eclipse more akin to a bludgeon.
During the Vale Port Heist, Nocturne was able to reconcile his two selves, allowing him to finally draw Eclipse from its sheath.
During his attendance at Beacon Academy, Nocturne began modifying Eclipse with the aid of Ruby Rose and Jaune Arc to better complement his Semblance.
