Feras
Feras weapons can be found as treasure on creatures or sold at various merchant events. Feras weapons all possess lightning flares and flare on every swing except when the flares downgrade. A "fresh" feras weapon can be very deadly in anyone's hands, provided one can obtain the offensive strength to land even a small hit on the target.
Effectiveness
Feras weapons are known to be very deadly, albeit, temporary weapons. Nearly any strike from a feras weapon results in a blast of lightning with severe injury or possible instant death to the target. They are favored weapons of assassins, as not only will the weapon damage the target normally, a fresh weapon has a very high possibility of killing or severely wounding the target. A flare from a fresh feras weapon can do up to 70 damage.
