Chaos weapons are made of urnon, a highly volatile substance. They were first seen in 1999, with later versions introducing a new style. Old Style:
New Style: "Old Style"
"New Style"CLUTCH attempts to hold the weapon to the current properties.
Additional InformationPropertiesChaos weapons possess the ability to randomly change enchant bonus, flare, and weighting amount, and can be made into many weapon bases. The enchant bonus varies with each swing. Modification of the weapon ability shifts after each successful strike that employs it for Old style, while New Style weapons change before every swing regardless of hit, miss, or EBP result. The color for both versions corresponds to the ability: Red: fire flares Blue: lightning flares Grey: damage weighting Brown: impact flares Green: acid flares White: cold flares Black: crit weighting New Style weapons also have available flares (not available to old style): Silver: vacuum Golden: disintegration Silvery: steam Crimson: disruption Silvery-blue: plasma A flare is not guaranteed to activate with each strike, but it is quite common to see flares on sequential swings. As usual, a fatal hit will not cause a flare no matter the color, and creatures immune to a specific type of damage (e.g. cold) will ignore it as they normally do.
Additionally, the New Style weapons appear to be Permablessed. Further InvestigationHaving an unlocked Loresong allows direct examination of flare for any given color, as well as the (current) Enchant, game-assessed value (fluctuates wildly based on Enchant and flare), and the project difficulty. Since the spoiler for the Great Auction (New Style) weapons indicated that they could be Ensorcelled, stopping on a lower difficulty should simplify adding layers of improvement.

Left leg mangled horribly. ** Your chaos whip emits a searing bolt of lightning! ** ... 20 points of damage! Heavy shock to right eye bursts a few blood vessels. Sick. Your whip turns white! You swing a white chaos whip at an Ithzir seer! AS: +591 vs DS: +354 with AvD: +24 + d100 roll: +80 = +341 ... and hit for 51 points of damage! Blow to chest causes the Ithzir seer's heart to skip a beat. ** Your chaos whip glows intensely with a cold blue light! ** ... 5 points of damage! Chilly blast to the chest causes heart to skip a beat. Your whip turns green! You swing a green chaos whip at an Ithzir seer!

Large gash to the right arm, several muscles torn. The adept's crystal-tipped staff falls to the ground. ** Your chaos whip releases a blast of vibrating energy! ** ... 20 points of damage! Good blow to the abdomen! Your whip turns black! The glowing specks of energy surrounding an Ithzir adept intensify! You swing a black chaos whip at an Ithzir adept!
