Spellblade

A Spellblade is a general categorical term that refers to a group of weapons that utilize the natural/classical elements practiced in Mitsuori-dō and use technology to allow this Spell Arts to become artificially produced via the medium of a weapon. Initially created by Saturn Rezka, they have since seen increased production under the operations of the company Phanta Borea.

While most Spellblades take on the form of melee weapons, particularly swords, lances, and staves, they are only as limited as the many weapons that could be produced, with recent times displaying more and more unique weapons, in addition to a technological breakthrough that allows projectiles to become imbued as well.

Additionally, artificially altered elements have been produced as well, made through the amalgamation and selective combining of different elements and placing them together within the same elemental core, which lays spread within the part of a Spellblade that has potential to become active. (Such as Red Plaz)

Appearing as a normal weapon, Spellblades utilize their function via a set of buttons and switches that allow ease of transition of a weapon from a 'passive' state to what is referred to as an 'active' state.

The passive state of the weapon is when it functions are the normal weapon would, without any influence whatsoever from the natural element being contained within, whereas the active state refers to when the natural element within bursts outwards, usually engulfing parts, or the entirety of, the weapon in question.

Examples of this would be a sword with a blade becoming ablaze, or a spear that becomes tipped with ice.

Spellblades are made to be easy to utilize by the wielder, with most functions being overt and easy-to-understand, though some weapons differ slightly in capabilities.

The common built-in arsenal of a Spellblade is below:

* **Surge:** Influenced by Mitsuori-dō's Ra-Un, the element within the Spellblade surges, becoming both more massive and more dense
* **Launch**: The Spellblade launches a massive projectile of the natural element it emits in a direction (blade must recharge to use again)
* **Sub-Launch:** A more concentrated version of launch, and one that uses less energy, allowing the Spellblade to remain fully Active
* **Embrace:** A Spellblade of an element becomes able to draw energy from the same natural element by sucking it in. (near-synonyms work as well)
* **Off:** A vocal command that forces the Spellblade to lock into a passive state (vocal cue can be edited by user)
* **On:** A vocal command that unlocks the Spellblade from **Off** (vocal cue set, but dependent on SB element)

The commands "Off" and "On" can be attuned to the user of a Spellblade, which will acknowledge only their voice as the one that can use these commands

Lastly, after a Spellblade has been used for long enough by the same user, it additionally unlocks a function where the Spellblade can become actuated, however not entirely active. This allows it to replicate the effect of the element stored within the blade on it's edge without emitting the element itself. For example, cause burns as if it were engulfed in flame to the touch, however not actually be flaming.

In this state, Spellblades glow with an aura the color of the element stored within.

While the most Spellblades are abundant (relatively) in production, it should be noted that there is a limited number of Spellblades containing the natural elements of Aether and Nether, of which there are one & three respectively, as well as the artificial element of Plaz with the exception of Green Plaz, which is an extremely volatile artificial element that has yet to see usage outside of the realm of Wild Buzzes. (Green Plaz is the most stable Plaz, and has been allowed for production in projectile ammunition in particular.)

There are currently no Spellblades for the element of Radia.
