Refining my previous entry:

- Name: Donner & Blitzen/Golden Storm (Donner & Blitzen mean 'thunder & lightning' in German)

- Wielder/Smith: Aurelius Morningstar

- Classification: Separable Extending Bladed Staff (SEBS)

- Weapon Derivation: Tantōs/chokutōs (D&B), Bladed staff (GS)

- Dimensions: Tantōs- 320mm×15mm⌀; Chokutōs- 450mm×15mm⌀; Staff- 900mm (hanbō)/1160mm (jō)×15mm⌀

- Form 1: A pair of double-edged tantōs, while retaining the usual shape.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: Donner- Light blue base with gold patterning on the grip and a grey blade. Blitzen- Gold base with light blue patterning on the grip and a silver blade.

- Form 2: A pair of double-edged chokutōs, while retaining the usual shape.

- Form 2 Aesthetics: Same as form 1 but with longer blades.

- Form 3: A bladed staff formed by combining Donner & Blitzen at the hilts with rotational symmetry.

- Form 3 Aesthetics: Connected form 2; blades can extend or retract for longer reach or close combat.

- Dust Usage: Powdered; vials are 110mm×6mm⌀, 3 vials/chokutō. Lightning- Electrifies the blade; Gravity- Crowd control/harder hits/mobility; Steam- Creates a smokescreen.

- Usage: 
 * Donner & Blitzen- Single-wielded chokutō: Aurelius' main fighting style. Typically wielded in two hands against a single opponent or multiple low-level adversaries. Used primarily as an offensive method of combat. Dual-wielded chokutō & tantō: Used against multiple skilled opponents. This method sacrifices the power of using one blade in both hands for increased speed. This also allows for a more defensive style of combat in comparison to single-wielding.
 * Golden Storm- Primarily used to create distance between Aurelius and his opponents due to the weapon's increased length compared to Donner & Blitzen's chokutō forms, though it can also be wielded when he is surrounded, though it is less effective against Aura users. This is Aurelius' most defensive fighting style, due to his ability to spin the weapon around its centre to deflect ranged attacks.
