Analyze ---- Animalistic Spirit Shields ---- -General Script Information- This is a shield with the spirit of an animal trapped within it. The spirit is wild and must be tamed by unleashing it against like-level foes, or successfully blocking against them during combat. If not fully tame, the spirit within can backlash upon the owner. Allegiance can be changed, but the new owner must work off the trust gained by the previous owner. When striking, there is a chance the spirit will unleash Animalistic Fury flares. -Alteration Guidelines- * Alterations to the 15/15/15, long and show of this shield are fine. * Some merchants can change the spirit color, spirit call or how the spirit looks. NOTE: You cannot change the general type of animal, such as changing a large feline to be a canine, except using certificates. As well, each spirit type only has certain pre-approved nouns allowed. -Features- * Animalistic Fury Flares (Tier 1 of 4) The spirit within lashes out with a stampede. (Damage Type: Grapple) Flares are currently: ON [RUB to toggle] * Revenge Flares = Locked On a successful block, there is a chance to unleash Animalistic Fury flares. You must be in a forward or greater stance and be an active combatant in combat for the spirit to react. NOTE: Power of this ability is tied to the Flare tier. * Wild Backlash = Locked When Animalistic Fury flares hit, the spirit within lashes out with its untamed anger, causing a momentary reduction in the target's DS and TD. NOTE: Power of this ability is tied to the Flare tier. * Savage Power = Locked Once an hour, draw on the power of the spirit within your weapon for an increase in AS, CS and critical padding by CLENCHing the aegis. * Flavor Actions (Tier 1 of 3) At this tier, this shield captures the following:WEAR, REMOVE, RUB (Flares On/Off), WHISTLE. * Tameness/Affinity Tame the spirit to prevent it enacting its rage upon you.
