"For every Malady, a Needle."
Name: Spiders' Bite
Rank: Weak
Type: Specialist Rapier
Description: The Long handled collapsible weapon of Eileen; 'The Sidhe.' The weapon is long, slender but most notably it's hollow. The weapon in total is about a meter long with an extended handle should it wish to be gripped with two hands for greater control as well as a basket hand guard for some basic protection. Unlike many Rapiers, the shaft of the weapon, although light doesn't bend, bow or flex like other blades due to the reinforced hollow core, allowing it to act more as an extremely light saber of sorts. This rigidity allows the weapon to cut as well as thrust in equal measure though primarily the weapon is structured for thrusting.
Boasting the slender edge of the Rapier, Spiders' Bite is lithe with its superior thrusts, able to penetrate even relatively fine links in chain mail and finding the gaps in plate. Allowing the signature device to be exceedingly dangerous on the battlefield or more importantly in the midst of a duel.
However, although the weapon resembles a rapier in form, in actuality the weapon is a long, bladed, high pressure hypodermic needle with the injection function tied to a trigger on the blade's. The weapon can be loaded with vials into the weapons' hilt for single injections or connected with a IV to larger vials on Eileens' person for more standard poisons, toxins and chemicals. Upon a successful thrust, landing with an opponent, the trigger can be pulled, injecting the toxin or agent into the victim, though these various venoms are apped as their own individual items/spells.
Strengths:
- Toxic Bite: The loaded hollow chamber of the Spiders' Bite is not a weapon victims would like to be on the receiving end of. Whether loaded with paralytics, acids, poisons or other concoctions. Though pristine in appearance, the weapon is cruel in application, able to deliver potent salves which can convey long term and potentially crippling effects from a single blow. Unloaded this effect is little more than a small burst of wind pressure.
- Lithe Blade: The Spiders' Bite is an exceedingly slender weapon that is able to find its mark with its lethal thrusts even through relatively fine chain or fabric materials. Often slipping between the fibers or links of armour and clothing to deliver its stab as usual, bypassing light protections almost entirely least there be a solid slab of steel or mineral defending the area.
- Feather-Weight: Exceedingly light at about 2/3's the weight of even most other Rapiers, this weapon can be wielded with far greater speed and alacrity than other weapons which would be heavier than it.
Weaknesses:
- Ammo Restricted: While the chemical effect is potent, it requires ammunition from an outside source to use. This means the toxic effect becomes almost pointless should the user run out of ammo or have it destroyed by an outside source.
- Lithe Blade: The Lithe nature of the Spiders' Bite is a double edged sword. Though it is able to bite deeply into cloth, leather, chain and other light armours, heavy armours on the other hand, whether they be made of stone, glass, steel or other solid 'plate like' structures receive a 50% resistance to Spiders' bites' strikes making the weapon vastly less effective.
- Feather Weight: While the near weightlessness nature of the hollow weapon, which is light for even a common rapiers' standards, grants it speed in the right hands. The speed advantage comes at the sacrifice of power, making the Spiders' Bite unable to make 'Heavy' Attacks at all.
- Precise Striker: The blows landed from a weapon as slender and sharp as Spiders' Bite tend to lacerate or puncture. The thin blade, while able to penetrate flesh and bone deeply just fine, due to the size and width of the weapons edge and point, unless the puncture or cut hits very precise locations dealing crippling structural damage to a body can be exceedingly difficult.
