Just going to leave this right here.


You give the pylon a whirl around your finger. Motes of white hot light trail behind it spinning three times before you catch it with a firm grip.

You steady your hand-held pylon and take aim at a Taladorian knight!

It sparks with a pale light before firing a blast of white hot energy, which snakes through the air and strikes a Taladorian knight! **

... 20 points of damage!
Flames engulf head searing hair and scalp. Sickening!
The Taladorian knight is stunned!

Immediately, another blast of light green energy hurls from the pylon and slams into a Taladorian knight! **

... 20 points of damage!
Good blow to head!

Hello,

I did a few updates on the hand-held pylons today to make things a bit more convenient.

Analyze will now display what element is in which position, and how many charges are left. Example:

Position 1 is filled with the element of fire and has 18 charges.
Position 2 is filled with the element of air and has 18 charges.
Position 3 is filled with the element of water and has 18 charges.
Position 4 is filled with the element of earth and has 18 charges.

Also, before if you failed to hit the creature on the 1st hit, it would fall you for all hits. Now, if the 1st hit misses, each other hit still has a chance.

Please remember, I did the coding, but this was a Kenstrom-vision. All kudos go to him.
