 * Wielder: Zhu Chun Lan
 * Maker/Smith: Zhu Chun Lan
 * Type: Variant Kinetic Chain Spade
 * Weapon Derivation: monks spade
 * Design: crimson red shaft with silver edged white blades. the bell shaped blade has her lotus flower symbol etched into it on both sides

 * Form 1: A monks spade, contained inside are three 100 foot spools of monofilament wire, one in each end and one at the center. both blades can be fired off by a dust crystal housed at the center of their respective wire spools, to be used at range, and the weapon can be split at the middle with the two halves connected by wire.

As the blades are relatively thin, they can easily target the soft points between armor plates on larger grimm.
