Protonic inversal axe

The protonic inversal axe is a weapon .
==Characteristics==
Compared to the standard proton axe, the protonic inversal axe deals higher damage per strike and higher critical hit damage, in addition to having higher durability.
Visually, it resembles the proton axe while having a dark blue/violet-colored blade, light-colored capacitors, and a black-finish handle.
===Special attack===
The protonic inversal axe has a special Inversal Scarifier attack that does 200% damage in V.A.T.S. at the cost of 10 more action points (requires a Melee skill of 50). Note that this attack may strike more than one opponent, but is not guaranteed to do so even if the animation indicates that it passed through other opponents.
It is possible to execute Inversal Scarifier outside of V.A.T.S. (without the required Melee skill of 50 to perform the move) by initiating a power attack (hold attack button) while moving forward.
===Durability===
The protonic inversal axe can successfully strike about 1245 times from full condition before breaking.
==Variants==
* Proton axe - the standard variant found throughout Big MT.
* Proton throwing axe - a projectile variant.
* Protonic inversal throwing axe - a rare projectile variant.

==Notes==
* When any type of drug wears off, the blade of the axe is momentarily shifted to a yellow tone, before changing back to violet as the blur fades.
* When near Camp Searchlight as the atmosphere turns green, the blade will turn white.
* All cyberdogs are affected by the additional EMP damage done by this weapon.
