"So that is what you call it." Elise tested the word a few times over in her mind. Leiomano, leiomano....She stopped after a few times, deciding that for all she knew of the weapon, it was a Mistraltan thing. Glaukos was correct in stating its rarity, at least - Elise had certainly never heard of such a weapon. Though she was one to talk - the ringblade she'd grown so accustomed to wasn't exactly a common weapon, and the fact that it didn't transform into a gun of some kind didn't exactly help.

Everybody and their mother had a gun weapon to the point where Elise had, when finishing up her first weapon, considered trying to implement some sort of ranged shooting. She'd even attempted to prototype turning the weapon into a functional bow and arrow but that in itself felt wrong, somehow.

Instead she turned back to her work. Having mapped out the entirety of the blade in marker atop the metal, she was ready to move onto the cutting table. That is, until she remembered the cup of purple dust she'd procured from the back room. It glowed undisturbed from the cart. No, no, she didn't need to add some weird ranged functionality - the dust was already a huge step for her weapon.

...Her eyes immediately flickered back to Glaukos' hands, moving from tooth to tooth, imbuing them with the gold dust. She was about to sound very, very stupid - a necessary risk, though, as improper use of the dust could cause problems. Especially if said dust had gravitational powers.

"....Glaukos." She sighed, reaching over the cart and retrieving the cup. "I need your.....opinion on something." When shewas sure she had his attention she gestured to the mapping of the blade.

"I want to add dust to my weapon this time around - it was likely a mistake that I did not before. However, I am not sure as to how I should implement the dust." She dragged the blueprint over and, with a steady hand armed with a marker, drew thin, dotted lines at key points on the weapon.

"I am currently leaning more toward adding a sort of chamber around the circumference of the blade," She drew the dotted lines in the middle of the ring, spanning its entire length. "with the idea that should I activate my semblance or otherwise agitate the dust enough, it will activate its gravitational properties, possibly preventing me from missing targets or losing the blade altogether, as I did yesterday." She reached to the case and pulled another schematic forward, this time the chakrams.

"I would add small blocks that would activate when the rings changed form, effectively preventing me from losing ay of the dust and causing some sort of singularity." She illustrated once again on this paper, this time blocking out the stops on the weapon.

"I know next to nothing about how dust is properly used in a weapon though, and you," She gestured to the teeth, which he seemed to be preparing rather quickly, "are obviously well-versed in their usage. Would this be an effective method?"
