Weapons

### Standard Weapons

There are currently five standard weapons in Spiritfall. The default weapon is the Battle Hammer-Axe and is unlocked from the start.

## Battle Hammer-Axe

**Codex Entry**: "A weapon of great strength, combining the utility of a sharp blade with the force of a heavy mace. While it is a relatively slow weapon, each swing is powerful enough to hurl opponents the farthest out of any other armament."

## Sisterhood Gauntlets

**Codex Entry**: "A weapon crafted by giants during the old war. Designed for optimal velocity, those who master it can inflict punishment at incredible speeds. It is unclear what exactly granted sentience to these tools of destruction, but it seems like they are not about to rest anytime soon."

## Astral Cord Bow

**Codex Entry**: "This bow's string was woven from the fabric that separates the earth and the sky, it's limbs crafted from the soul of a fallen Brink Guardian. It was handed to the High Priestess years ago as a gift from the Divine Spirits, representing the boundaries and alliances that the Spirits and the Perennial Order have established. However, it also served as a warning against the destined greed of humanity and the ensuing disaster. Alas, once an arrow is shot, it cannot be diverted from its intended course - such is the power of fate."

## Link Blades

**Codex Entry**: "While the base design of these blades closely resembles farming and fishing tools common throughout the land, the link that connects the two can only be explained through divine engineering. This weapon dates back to before the Old War. Rumored to have been discovered on a lone survivor of a village torn by an inner conflict. A wandering merchant, guided by an unseen hand, discovered the fallen warrior and carried him to the Sanctum. There, the warrior's wounds were healed, and a debt to the High Priestess was sealed. Although this peculiar weapon has since been lost to time, it is no coincidence that it has reappeared when the Sanctum needs to be defended once again."

## Equinox

**Codex Entry**: "An ancient weapon first discovered deep within the Burrows during the Old War. After a human party retreated from a relentless Giant onslaught, one fateful wrong turn led them into a dead-end chamber. Before they could retrace their steps, the very ground beneath them gave way, sending them plummeting into the darkness. When the survivors regained consciousness, they found themselves before an ancient altar bearing the Equinox. The weapon appeared to be forged from an otherworldly metal, neither human nor giant could claim to be its creator. An inscription etched into its handle hints at the astonishing truth that no living being can truly wield it. Good news for a soul that is neither living nor dead."

### Awakened Forms

All weapons have an awakened form, which gives them a permanent buff once unlocked.

### Alternate Forms

Weapons also have an alternate form. Currently only the first two have one.

## Battle Hammer-Axe

**Codex Entry**: "This faster dual-wield alternative was initially only used to train the coordination of Perennial Order initiates before they advanced to the two-handed battle hammer-axe.

When bandites launched a surprise attack and stormed the Sanctum's gates, the initiates rushed with their training weapons to defend them. despite being made from basic materials, they proved effective in close-quarters combat, thus earning this weapon's a respectable place in the Order's armory.
This enhanced variant of the weapon, however, appears to be reinforced with unusual materials, giving it enhanced strength and flexibilty in combat."

## Sisterhood Gauntlets

**Codex Entry**: "A heavier alternative to its four-armed counterpart. During the Old War, these gargantuan gauntlets were adopted by Giants on the frontline.

As the fighting became more entrenched, the gauntlets were changed to include spikes and claws, allowing them to shred through human armor and fortifications. The sheer power of these gauntlets allowed Giants to break through cavern walls and open up new lines of attack."
