Description
This unassuming staff is a plasma cutting torch made for Cyclops division Knights. Air is drawn in at one end, ionised in the shaft, and expelled through an electric arc,creating a jet of plasma at the other end. It is used twohanded, like a spear. Its length keeps adversaries at bay, and its superheated flame (upwards of 32,000 degrees F) is particularly effective against enemies in armour.

Some creatures have no HP score. Against them, destructive always applies, ignoring ignore armour and armour-piercing effects. If a creature has HP and AP values, destructive still applies if the target’s AP are higher than the armour-piercing effect of the attack. If armour-piercing allows the attack to completely ignore the target’s AP, damage is dealt straight to the target’s HP and the destructive effect is ignored.
