The "Divider" Items

[Ryo]

Artifact/Weapon Name:
Divider Sword.

Artifact or Weapon:
Weapon

Wielder:
Ryo

Type of Artifact/Weapon:
Greatsword

Appearance of Artifact/Weapon:
This weapon is a massive greatsword easily larger than any average human. The handle and hilt are made out of two twisting pieces of metal. One gold the other black. The left part of the hilt is gold while the right part is black. The blade is colored depending on the current form he's in. While in his Dark form the blade is completely colored black with several gold symbols going down each side of the blade. When in his usual form the blade color is reversed.

Origin of Artifact/Weapon:
This item was created for Ryo after his starting items had shattered during one of his element shifts. Though to earn it Ryo had to collect two crystals one made purely of light and the other dark. Both were used in this item to ensure it wont shatter while he switches elements.

Special Abilities of the Artifact/Weapon:
When used in conjunction with the Divider armour Ryo can combine his light and darkness together and form a "void" type energy. This energy is elementless and when it hits something it acts like a miniature black hole that closes in on itself once the item is absorbed. Of course other players and powerfull items cannot be drawn in and instead will take damadge as though it were just an energy blast. The crystals in the sword also increase dark and light based techniques.

The void ability from these items can absorb just about any attack if enough power is thrown in. Though there are some restrictions such as the attacks can't absorb an enemies equipment or items excluding bombs and such and of course if used against another void attack they will cancel each other out. Any ranged attack can be absorbed excluding super techniques.

The void ability has a major weakness. If any piece of the sword or armour are damadged the technique becomes completely unusable.

Type of Artifact/Weapon:
Set of armour

Appearance of Artifact/Weapon:
A very heavy set armour consisting of shoulder chest and leg armour. Each piece has a large stripe on the center of each piece. While in his dark form the armour is colored black and the stripes are gold while in his light form ths colors are reversed. On the center of the chestplate rather than a stripe he has a cross shaped mark.

Please use the given artifact sheet coding when making artifacts. Its there for a reason.

For the Divider Sword, what exactly did you mean when you said it absorbs items? Like item pickups and such dropped by enemy monsters, or everyday objects found in the game, or what?

Also, do either of these pieces of equipment have stand-alone abilities, or are they basically just normal armor and sword when they are not used in conjunction with one another?

[Ryo]

I usually just copy and past the part with the explanations but alright.

Everyday objects as well as certain attacks.

They have the element bonuses when alone.

Edited.

[Rising Dragon]

Alright, but you need to specify what kind of attacks can be absorbed.

[Ryo]

Alright I think i've cleared things up now.

[Rising Dragon]

Well... you haven't.

I asked for what kind of attacks can be absorbed... you didn't answer that at all.

[Ryo]

"just about any attack" but if it needs to be any clearer fine. Edited once again.

[Rising Dragon]

"Just about any attack" is way too much for this weapon. Limit it; either make it so it can only absorb certain attacks or give it some glaring weakness.

[Ryo]

Glaring weakness it is! I think a single dent to stop the ability is fair. Oh and like I said before the power would have to match up to the attack to absorb it. That's why I excluded supers from it.

[Morph]

You say that ranged techniques can be absorbed by the Void ability. Can melee techniques also be absorbed by it, if either a non-magical weapon was used, or a magical one?

Also the "void" element ability, could you describe that one more thoroughly?

[Ryo]

Magical or not weapons cannot be absorbed. Though if the technique sends out a wave slash or something along the lines of that it can be absorbed.

The void element is created when dark and light combine leaving basically nothing. It consumes whatever it can then collapses in on itself until nothing is left. Similar to a black hole I suppose.

[Morph]

Well, with Ultima being able to combine his dark and light forms this way, it would seem to me that he himself would cease to exist, especially since I would think that he'd be wearing the armour all the time. Could you take out the form combining, and instead just stick to being able to use two different forms and the void attacks when the items are used together?

[Ryo]

Ryo actually.

and no no...He can't use both forms at the same time. Never could. The items let him combine both elements without him switching but that's it.

[Morph]

Aha. So he can use both at Light and Darkness element techniques at the same time, despite those with a Darkness affinity cannot use Light attacks?

Also, if so, is there any penalty for using Darkness when he is in his Light form, or vice versa? Like, a very great decrease in power, or health decrease when he uses the other element?

[Ryo]

There are a few penalties actually to make it fair.


Doubled energy cost.

Large decrease in hp each time he uses an attack.(Scaled to rank of technique. Beta would drop a huge amount while gamma and lower wouldn't drop it as drastically.)

The damage normally done is a bit above average since both elements are in such close contact and could become void based if they got too close.

If he uses a Super tech with the abilities he is rendered completely immobile and defenseless for a few seconds.
