Energy runestaves
Energy Runestaves
Weapons that let the wielder reduce their flare to store energy. After enough energy is stored, and the abilities are unlocked, the wielder can then use that energy for other functions.
Affinity Levels
Every time the weapon handles its script flare the bond increases.

Flared Form: Allows you to morph your staff into an instrument of destruction. While in its enhanced form you can point the staff to hit a target with a chance to hit up to 3 other targets with energy. Each additional target hit will be hit with a weaker strike.

This will also provide a bonus to your AS scaling with AFFINITY * 2. Cooldown: 60 minutes. Duration: Affinity in minutes or until out of mana or energy. Verb: Nuzzle and Point

Hello everyone!
This Duskruin (95% sure!) I will be introducing Energy Runestaves. These staves are affinity and tier driven much like parasite and sprite weapons. The flare type by default will be available in 4 varieties: Ice, Fire, Earth, Lightning These are script flares and do not take up the regular slot/spot. The strength of these flares scales with the affinity of the weapon.
Players will need to bond to these. Bonding is achieved by using the weapon in combat and letting it flare.
Drained Flares: Drained flares are when the wielder sacrifices the strength of their flare to store energy.
Surged Flares The stored energy can then be used to increase the strength of the flare through SURGED flares. You cannot drain energy while surging your flares.
You can also turn on and off the flares entirely.
In the examples below I'm using an impact variant of the weapon.
Unleashing At affinity 4 and above (T2 unlock) players will be able to unleash the weapon. Once unleashed, players can use the stored energy and their own mana to blast targets. This can hit 1-4 targets, each subsequent target hit will receive reduced damage. The power of this attack is scaled above the innate flare and surged flare. This lasts until the wielder is out of mana, out of energy, or out of time. (1min * Affinity) This also gives the wielder + 2 AS per affinity for the duration. It will also grant +1 CS per affinity for the duration.

Reactive Armor At affinity 7 and above (T3 unlock) players will be able to coat themselves in magical armor. This armor gives the wielder a 20% chance to have a defensive flare from their runestave back at the target. Each defensive flare drains energy and mana. The power of this flare scales with the standard flare of the weapon. This lasts until the wielder is out of mana, out of energy, or out of time. (1min * Affinity) This also gives the wielder + 2 DS per affinity. This armor also shows up in your LOOK based on the type of flare the weapon has.
You slam the base of your rune staff into the ground sending a blast of white and black energy upward! The energy crackles audibly as it coalesces around you in the shape of armor. Roundtime: 3 sec.
