Frost Hatchet: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 02:54, May 29, 2018

A hatchet that acts as a vessel for a moderately powerful ghost that generates frost when used. Since the inhabiting ghost can respond to the user's request, it can be considered a halfway point between a Familiar and Implement.<ref>“Well, this works as a kind of stopgap measure as a half-implement and half-familiar,” Rose said. “Not sure how you’re going to conceal that hatchet all the time, but it works.” - Damages 2.3</ref>

Without any inscriptions on the hatchet, the ghost could have left any time she wanted. She was also likely to use all her energy in the first attack, creating a destructive freeze-blast large enough to kill the wielder.<ref>“We’ll need a way to inscribe the handle, or she can leave any time she feels like it, and she’s liable to go out in one big intense shot of cold the moment you hit something,” Rose said, as I made my way into the hallway. “That could be useful,” I said. “It would almost definitely kill you,” Rose said. - Damages 2.3</ref> Thankfully the Lawyers did the inscriptions for free. <ref>She handed me the hatchet, handle first. “I explained a great deal. Surely one of you two can pull something out of it.” The pattern of the silver wire continued on with the pattern scratched into the metal. Faint, but noticeable where the light caught the rough patches versus the smooth patches. The silver wire in the grip didn’t dig into my hand. - Damages 2.5</ref> In addition to the frost attacks, the hatchet also hits with a hopelessness aura.<ref>Then I looked at the animals. Heads down, ears down, afraid. Subdued. Not even attacking as I let down my guard. Ahh. So ice and cold hadn’t been the only thing I’d been dashing all over the place as I’d fought. There was the emotion that June carried with her, too. - Collateral 4.8</ref>

It was destroyed in the contest against Conquest.<ref>“June!” she shouted. “We release you from your binding! All at once now! The snow! Nothing but snow!” Conquest shielded his face as the hatchet detonated, the ghost appearing as she’d been the first time I’d seen her, clear as day. Bye, June. - Void 7.6</ref>
