Description

Gawain’s latest weapon invention is the rocket axe. Vents on the sides of the blade act as air intakes for a plasma reactor that increases the weapon’s speed and striking power. Knights who train with this weapon quickly learn how to use the added momentum of its rocket propulsion system to launch themselves at and through several enemies at a time with wide, sweeping attacks. The reactor’s blue flames bring the axe blade and all its components to red-hot temperatures, allowing it to clean itself of stray chunks of flesh, concrete, and even steel that might get stuck in its vents, by burning, melting, or grinding them into dust.
