Thaumic weapons are rare armaments designed to be wielded by Magi. In addition to allowing Magi to defend themselves, they also act as catalysts for their powers. To this end, thaumic weapons are constructed from rare, aeternically-sensitive materials. While a non-Magi can wield a thaumic weapon without any drawbacks, it will have none of its innate power.
Thaumic weapons may be powerful, but in order to unlock their full potential, a thaumic weapon must be bound to a user's mind. When a thaumic weapon is bound to a user, it becomes more like an extension of their own bodies rather than just a weapon. For example, if a thaumic weapon gets heavily damaged or destroyed, the Magi the weapon is bound to will feel an intense rush of pain.
While thaumic weapons are just as easy to wield as their non-thaumic counterparts, mastering them is another story entirely. Mastering a thaumic weapon is intensely challenging, even for powerful Magi. However, the rewards are well worth the effort. A mastered thaumic weapon is capable of taking down the most powerful of enemies in a single strike.
Types of Thaumic Weapons
Thaumic staves are long, two-handed weapons usually crafted from either metal or wood. These weapons are often tipped with heads of metal covered with small, aeternically-sensitive crystals in order to amplify their striking power.
Thaumablades take the form of a one or two-handed sword with a series of aeterically-sensitive crystals arranged in interlocking patterns along the blade. These crystals allow the weapon to be imbued with large amounts of Aeternal Energy, which surrounds the blade in a crackling thamuic aura.
Luxite axes similar to thamuablades, though they are designed more for offense at the cost of sacrificing some defensive capability. Magi who use luxite axes usually wield them in pairs in order to hack apart as many foes as they can.
Aeternal spears are polearms for Magi who prefer distance and precision over brute force. In addition to its close combat capabilities, a Magi can also hurl the spear across great distances and even draw it back with their powers.
Lux mauls are hefty, two-handed warhammers usually wielded by the physically strongest of Magi. These weapons are capable of creating enormous shockwaves of thaumic energy capable of toppling buildings or flipping over enemy tanks.
Thaumic blasters take the form of intricately-crafted pistols or rifles used by Magi with an affinity for ranged combat. By focusing their power into the gun, a Magi can fire off bolts of Aeternal Energy with varying intensity.
