Animated dead weaponry was created by GameMaster Zissu and released at Duskruin Arena at At The Ready in August 2020. These items are usually wands that, when waved at an animated creature corpse, will create a weapon for the animate. They have 3 Tiers of potency. Wands can be GAZEed at to change the messaging, or INFUSEd to change the weapon summoned if the wand has more than 1 available. Animate wands can be blessed directly.

Tier 1

Creates a 4x weapon of the purchased type.

Analyze

You analyze the wrought iron stake and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
--- Animate Dead Weaponry ---
This stake is an item used to create a weapon for use by an animated creature.  It has 3 Tiers of functional improvement, with each higher tier improving the combat effectiveness of the created weapon.  It also allows for unlocking of both new messaging and new mechanical options through certificates.

--- Current Settings ---
Current Tier: 1
Current Enchant: 20
Current Weapon Ability: None
Current Weapon: a scroll-carved finely honed battle-axe
Create Weapon Message Description: reaching into the earth

--- Item Messaging Options ---
reaching into the earth - Unlocked
an animated limb delivery - Locked
summoning a sickly fog - Locked
forming from seeping ichor - Locked
being forged from balefire - Locked

--- Usage Information ---
Wave [at animate] - Wave at an an animated dead to create a weapon within its hands.
Infuse - Change the weapon abilities that will be created.
Gaze - Change the messaging for generating the weapon.

You sense that the stake can be altered, bearing in mind it must remain necromantic in nature.

You get no sense of whether or not the stake may be further lightened.

Additionally, there are different weapon summoning messaging options, with certificates available to unlock them.

--- Usage Information ---
Wave [at animate] - Wave at an an animated dead to create a weapon within its hands.
Infuse - Change the weapon abilities that will be created.

You sense that the stick can be altered, bearing in mind it must remain necromantic in nature.

Additional information

Bless

When you wave your wand to create an animate weapon type with no flares and your wand is blessed, it will be created with 50 charges of bless, leaving the remaining charges on the wand. You can wave the wand at your animate to transfer another 50 charges to an unblessed animate weapon, or transfer an additional 50 charges to an already blessed animate weapon.

When blessing the wands, they are considered magical weapons of an enchant that the weapon would be when determining charges. Cleric blessings will work as usual, adding holy water flares as part of the bless.
