Plain Sword

"I simply found it amusing to dabble into a blade that could deceive the sights, that is all."

- Gillian "If you shout the blade's name upon activation, it's power increases tenfold. Go on, try it."

Type: Optical-Camouflaged High-Powered Booster Dust Blade

Creator: Gorudo Gillian

Description
A neat, sleek one-handed broad-sword, appearing fragile, almost made entirely of glass. The blade appears intangible, offering an intricate look of the dust weaved within, showing mysterious archaic patterns. The hilt is a simply cold, a switch placed underneath it with an odd, slim device, and a sturdy brown sack placed next to it. The handle is equally plain blue, offering a comfortable firm grip that molds to one's hands.

History
A blade Gillian thought would be entertaining to make, something more based on speed, precision, and small bursts of power to overwhelm and surprise an enemy. That, and he wanted to toy with making a weapon that was invisible to see the results. He's less than pleased with them, as it doesn't matter much with Grimm, but for people it seems rather effective. Needless to say, he likely won't make something similar again.

Features
- An Optical Camouflage system placed near the hilt, able to be flicked to be switched from off and on. While on, the blade is hidden completely from sight, appearing as one with the surroundings. Nothing can be seen of it, not the blade, not the hilt, nor the handle. It disappears entirely. To power it, it uses the Dust placed within the sword, the system lasting for about a total of an hour before shutting off completely and making the sword visible again. As such, if someone were to somehow lose the sword while invisible, it'd be best they wait an hour before looking.

- An Air Booster system, one that utilizes small, barely noticeable vents along the blade, and a powerful air pump system capable of absorbing all the wind around itself and storing it, keeping it held compactly in a pressurized shack near the hilt. The sack is laced with wind-dust as well, increasing the amount of air let out and its power. Primarily, this is used to suddenly boost the sword in one direction with a powerful gust, or to let out a vacuum like stream that rockets the wielder along the ground. Air can be absorbed quickly mid-swings, taking hardly any time, allowing multiple quick barrage like combos of endless slashes with bursting speeds. Alternatively, the wind can be used to push things away from the blade, letting out a hammer like gust that can push other weapons during clashes, or incoming projectiles, and can even be used as a form of blunt-force attack. It can also be shot out during swings, slashes of condensed air being let out to damage foes. The power of these slashes depends on the amount of air used, ranging from only pushing things back to being able to slice the ground open completely.

- The blade itself, being a material Gillian has made himself by acquiring a range of materials through his travels. It's light and flexible, being able to take heavy tension well. Incredibly durable, being able to smash into stone without so much as a chip. He's coated it in an odd liquid that makes the metal look more akin to glass, something that serves no purpose besides aesthetics.

- Dust, much of it is weaved into the blade, as that is Gillian's primary focus in most of his weapons. Weaved into the blade, there's Wind, Lightning, Impact, and Fire. - Released, full Activation Mode. Can only be fully achieved by turning off the Optic Camouflage system, focusing all the energy entirely towards the blade. With all the lightning Dust focused there, it then mixes with the fire Dust, creating super-heated Plasma Dust that coats the entirety of the blade, lighting it up and making it glow. Due to this plasma, it grants it a far more refined cutting edge, able to cut through heavy armor neatly with little resistance. The plasma can be let out via swings, making for distance attacks, and combined well with the Air Booster system and wind dust. Such combinations allow for a Plasma vortex, letting out a vent of air to make a plasma hammer of sorts, and a sort of plasma beam able to be shot out from the tip.
 * Impact is coated along the edge of the blade, making cuts from it have more blunt force than sharpness, used primary to get through thick armor and counter heavier weapons.
 * Wind is used to further boost the wind-based attacks revolved around the Dust Booster system, and can even be used to create a small vortex around the blade with enough focus. The vortex can be shot out if need be, or expanded around the blade and used during swings.
 * Lightning simply serves to power the Optical Camouflage and the Air Booster system, though there is enough in the blade for deadly streaks to be let out during swings.
 * Fire, there's hardly any of it. Offensively serves no purpose, and it's only there to combine with the Lightning Dust to form a new Dust. That, and create minor heat to raise the wind's temperature and potentially make super-heated winds.

- Full Final Release, Plain Sword Unleashed. The name Gillian gave as he felt it needed one, but is terrible with them, so simply gave it that based on some RPG's he's played. Simply put, all energy and plasma is focused on the tip of the blade, and with a swing, lets it all out in a single, powerful raging beam that annihilates everything in front of it. Upon use, the sword needs a cool-down of about 10 seconds before returning its basic functions, a result of temporarily over-heating from all the expelled energy. At 30 it gets back advanced functions, and after a total of a minute after Final Release can be let out. Only about 5 in total can before the sword is completely depleted of energy, the only system left usable being the Air Booster.
