- Name:Rakasha Kelie (Indian Phrase for to protect)

- Wielder:Chakradhar Cordierite

Maker/Smith:Chakradhar Cordierite

- Classification: Dust Barrel Maduvu Shield (DBMS)

- Weapon Derivation:Tora’s Weapon from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Maduvu, Buckler Shield,

- Form 1 Design: Buckler Mode - This weapon doesn’t have a inactive form. It is stored at the user’s side until it is placed on the arm devices that the user has. The Buckler Form is a mix of the Scottish Targe Shield and the Buckler with the holding system similar to a Targe but the size of a Buckler. In this form - the Maduvu horns and the Barrels aren’t out.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: Buckler Mode - The weapon uses a mixture of browns - from hazel brown to light brown. This was done to have a consistent colour scheme. The buckler shield also has the user’s symbol on it. Which is a semi-circle that combines two crescent moons. There are also circular patterns on the weapon.

- Form 2: Dust Gun Mode - this is the weapon’s second form. It is similar to appearance to the previous buckler form, the only main different is that the barrels are out. The weapon has been designed with rotation in mind - meaning that the outer circle of the weapon can rotate which allows the barrels to move.

- Form 2 Aesthetics: Dust Gun Mode - In terms of aesthetics - it is relatively the same appearance as the previous form - expect for the three barrels. It uses the same patterns as well as having the same symbol in the middle.

- Form 3: Maduvu Mode - This is the weapon’s third form. The main difference in this form is that the two horn like blades go out from the left and right. Like the Wrist Gun Mode - the outer circle can rotate - this allows the user to use the Horn like Blades as a stabbing weapon. He can have the Wrist Gun Mode and the Maduvu Mode at the same time.

- Form 3 Aesthetics: Maduvu Mode - This is the weapon’s third form. In terms of aethsetics - it is reatively the same as the previous forms expect the two horn like blades sticking out of the side. The blades have been intentionally designed so that they bare resemblance to horns of real life animals.

Form 4: Dual Shield Mode - This is the weapon’s forth and final forms. Instead of one big shield - the weapon becomes two smaller shields - with one shield having the dust gun while other using the Maduvu. This allows the user to block attacks and use ranged/close quaters attacks at once.

Form 4 Aesthetics: Dual Shield Mode - In terms of aesthetics - instead of one big shield that is placed on one of the wrist devices. It is two smaller shields. In terms of the usage of colour and patterns they remain relatively the same.

- Dust Usage: The Weapon utilizes - Fire, Ice and Electric Dust. They are stored in each of the three barrels and when the user presses a button on the wrist device - it fires a concentrated blast of fire,electricity or ice which will have different effects depending on which dust is used. Dust can be easily inserted and removed though right now the user have only managed to get fire,ice and electricity dust to work with the shield'''.

- Usage:'''

Buckler Shield Mode - this is the most basic form of the weapon. The Buckler Shield is not really meant for all out offense but rather defense - he can use the shield in order to protect himself and his allies from attacks especially at ranged. He can use this as a Melee weapon by bashing an enemy at close range but this Form is overall more defense based. When fighting with the Buckler Shield Mode - the user will focus on defense - blocking attacks with the shield and then when they get close enough to the enemy - deliver a high attack to them or switch to the Maduvu form in order to stab them.

Dust Gun Mode - this is the ranged mode of the weapon.Usually he will use this form when he is at an considerable distance from his enemy and he has no way of getting in close without causing serious harm to himself. He can rotate the outer circle in order to select which type of dust he wants and then fire it. Fire Dust is the most powerful and will be able to set things on fire but if he is not careful the blast could affect his allies. He will most likely use Fire Dust if it’s a one to one fight. Ice Dust allows him to stall his enemies and restrict their movement by firing ice dust at them to either slow down or aim it at their fit - preventing their feet from moving, He can also use ice dust to freeze water. Electric Dust can be used to momentary stun foes but it works very well against robotics as it will cause them to short circuit. If he uses each type of dust too much - it could cause him to run out extremely quickly.

Maduvu Mode - This is the close range, melee option of the weapon - When he is close to an enemy - he will bring out the Steel Horns. When fighting he will focus on stabbing an the enemy. Often when fighting a grimm - he will grab the enemy Grimm with one arm and then stabbing them in the face. It can be used as a slashing weapon but it is much better as a stabbing weapon. The Horn Blades are strong enough to easily stab through Grimm though it may find trouble with armored Grimm like Deathstalkers. In terms of his fighting style - he is much more aggressive when fighting in this mode and will try and take out foes as quickly as possible with a quick stab to the face. The Maduvu mode can also be used to climb environments such as cliffs and trees by putting the blades into the walls. Overall this is his best close ranged option.

Dual Shield Mode - This is the mixed option for the weapon. When the weapon uses the Dual Shield Mode - he is able to utilize both the Maduvu and the Dust Gun - being able to deal with enemies at close range and at a distance. He can also use the shields to protect himself against attacks both melee and ranged. This mode can be very useful at dealing with Grimm, however, skilled foes who are aggressive enough can overwhelm him. This is also the jack of all traits - master of none mode for the weapon. When fighting in this mode - he will often use ranged attacks and then wait for an opportunity to get in close and finish them.

- Planned/Possible Upgrades:The user wants to make this weapon more compatible with different types of dust giving him more variety to his ranged attacks.

- Notes: Originally it was going to be a Lance Weapon but it was changed. ​​​​​​​
