change current Arcanium Weapon Concept and Change it to Magic Weapons

Currently, the concept for arcanium weapons is to be able to imbue the weapon with magic, but this is essentially a downgrade due to regular weapon
synergies

or

if enhanced would not bring anything interesting to the game and would be boring

Proposal

Arcanium weapons concept should instead be used for weapons like sunken sword and Bronze Trista and other weapons that absorb magic energy from conjurers or magic users or were exposed to magical environments for long periods of time

Magic Weapons?

Magic Weapons are weapons that require magic manipulation to be used and requires magic and weapon skill points

Magic Weapons Have the ability to float/levitate around the user with strong focus, hence requiring magic manipulation to be used

Example concepts

(most of these are just ideas, might sound unbalanced)

OctaPistols: A set of 8 multi pistols that levitate around the user and fires magical rounds with magic manipulation.

Mystic Blades: A set of 2 swords that require magic manipulation to be used, have increasing longer range and distance compared to regular duo blades due to being able to cover more distance with magic manipulation.

Frostwind: A bow of ice cold that is said to be able to fire arrows at aggressors by itself, a Bow that when unequipped could still cast or shoot arrows by itself while hovering behind the user.

Gale Fang: A dagger that requires magic manipulation to be used, Revolves around the user when unequipped potentially damaging attackers.

Earthshaker: A Great Hammer that seemingly sends shockwaves by itself from the center of the user, dealing light damage and ruining the movement of foes
requires magic manipulation.

potential lore break?

magic manipulation is possible as shown by maria as she can manipulate the water to appear like tentacles and use them to slam enemies

this is simply a weaker version of that skill that instead allows the user to control their weapons using their magic instead of holding them physically

aint this just conjurer awakening

wait are arcanium weapons not already gonna be conjurer exclusive?

3

Nah it’s more to imbue the magic with the weapon. By channeling the magic through the weapon you can add aspects of the weapon to your spells

4

so imbue the weapon onto the magic, where was that stated btw i don’t rmber seeing that

5

I assume he’s referring to the part that says “Different weapons will have different “boosts”/affects on these weapon-created spells”

6

i sorta like that idea, except the part where mages and warriors can use them

sadly this card was made 3 years ago so who knows how it’s been changed

7

At the end of the day, they’re just fancy metal weapons so I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t use them

8

bc warriors wouldn’t have the magic to use it properly, like how warriors don’t have the strength to use warlord weapons

also balancing issues + we need conjurer exclusive weapons

9

warriors not having the strength to use warlord weapons makes sense, you can’t use a 10-foot metal halberd efficiently with twink levels of strength
Arcanium weapons are the same as any other weapon, except for that the strength is amplified when you channel magic through it
That’s why its stated that arcanium weapons are most effective when used by conjurers, despite also being able to be used by mages and warriors

10

Bro really just called every warrior player a twink

11

I mean you are going around with 0 points in the strength stat so lore-wise…

12

Exactly, on paper. arcanium weapons just sound like slightly effective conjurer imbue.

I personally think this idea doesn’t work in a world where conjurers can just imbue on regular weapons

and because sunken sword and Trista are actual arcanium weapons that warriors can use its much better IMO to change the arcanium concept to those types of weapons and separate conjurer weapons entirely

This ensures that arcanium weapons concept can still be used for warriors and other weapon classes while allowing conjurers to have their own specific weapons in a logical method

Hence, Magic Manipulation Weapons.

13

At first I was going “ew no” but as you explained and got the examples it just sorta clicked for me, gets my vote

14

same lol

15

Conjurers basically coat their magic over their weapons, Arcanium however allows them to channel their magic through their weapons as if it were an extension of their body.
Basic Imbuement is weaker compared to Arcanium, as Arcanium was made to conduct magic, thus allowing it to “imbue” at a much higher efficiency than normal weapons, aswell as cast the magic instead of layering it over its attacks.

16

Arcanium weapons is just magic molded into the shape of said weapon :troll:

17

I really like the concept

I don’t think magic manipulation is a thing, I’m fairly certain that maria was simply using the ocean as a catalyst. The reason? No clue. But I really don’t think magic manipulation is possible, as in lore, stuff like lightning isn’t actually lightning, it’s an imitation, and so on for the other elemental magics

It wouldn’t really make sense if mages can bend elements but not their own magic, this isn’t the avatar.
