(Here is the 3D Model Version)

- Name: Cladwell 

- Wielder: David Hansa

- Maker/Smith: David Hansa

- Classification: Dust Spiked Brogit Staff (DSBS)

- Weapon Derivation: Brogit Staff,Needler,Mace,Grappling Hook

'''- Form 1 Design: The design of the weapon takes the form of a Brogit Staff. There are four dust spikes each (fire,ice,electricity and wind though they can be swapped out for different kinds of dust spikes), with a press of a button - they can be attached to rope. The top part of the weapon has a retractable spike that can go into the weapon so the weapon can be used for bashing as well as come out if the user wants to fatally stab someone or do a silent kill. '''

'''- Form 1 Aesthetics: In terms aesthetics - it mostly uses a combination of beige and brown colours. The actual head of the weapon has curved brown rectangles as well as multiple brown squares around the hilt. '''

'''- Form 2 Design: Form 2 shortens the handle of the weapon and the user holds the weapon in a horziontal or vertical depending on if he wants to use the weapon as a close ranged mace like weapon instead of a staff weapon or hold it horizontal to use it’s ranged attacks. There is a button on the staff that allows him to shoot out the dust spikes as projectiles or simple using the weapon as a grappling hook - firing the spike attached to the rope into a wall in order to swing from it or save himself from falling'''

'''- Form 2 Aesthetics: The Aesthetics of the weapon are pretty much the same as Form 1 expect the handle is shorter. '''

'''- Dust Usage: It uses multiple types of dust in the form of dust spikes. These dust spikes can be shot out like projectiles. Each dust spike causes a different type of effect depending on what was fired (Fire Dust creates an explosion when it is fired at something with great force). The user can swap out the different types of dust spikes. '''

'''- Usage: Staff Mode - In Staff Mode - he uses at a traditional Brogit Staff - aka two handed and focuses on the strength and large swings - using the head of the Brogit Staff as a bashing weapon, It is strong enough to easily knock away smaller grimm and can injure bigger grimm as long as they aren’t too armored. When fighting using the Staff - he likes to keep mid/long range from the enemy and use the distance to his advantag.This mode is better when there is more than 1 foe. '''

'''Mace Mode - When using Mace Mode - the handle shortens considerably and he uses the weapon with one hand instead of two. He uses the Mace Mode as a bashing weapon - overpowering the enemy through quick and hard attacks as well as using the spikes to cause further damage. This mode is better when it’s a one to one fight and it’s usually the form he uses when he is against a Human. '''

'''Dust Spike Shooter - The user can fire the dust spikes like projectiles. Like the Needler once they hit something with great force - they explode. He uses the Dust Spikes in order to take out enemies at range by utlizing the dust spike’s different attributes - fire dust creates an firely explosion, ice temporally freezes the enemy, electric dust temporally stuns them and wind creates a wind blast. He can also swap these out with different types of dust spikes including gravity and earth. The main issue is that he can only fire these once before he has to reload but he has made sure that he has stocked up so this is usually not a problem. '''

'''Grappling Hook - He can also utlises this weapon as a grappling hook - rope attaches to both the main spike and the dust spikes with a press of a button. This allows the user to fire up to five rops spikes - These rope spikes can be used in different ways - they can be used to save the user from freefall.They can be used to swing around rooftops and buildings - they can be used to drag enemies towards the user as well as drag the user towards the enemy. It is useful in combat but in terms of straightforward compare he usually relies more on his Mace and Staff Mode. '''

'''- Planned/Possible Upgrades: The user wants to find a way for the weapon to carry more than four dust spikes at once. '''

- Notes: Both the name of the user and weapon are inspired by  David H. Caldwell who discussed the Brogit Staff in the  1980 paper "Some Notes on Scottish Axes and Long Shafted Weap
