Here you go: my newest creation. >=3


 * Name: Aura Buster
 * Wielder: Aurora (my OC Ash’s ex-girlfriend)
 * Maker/Smith: Stock parts from shops; assembled/modified by Aurora
 * Type: Variable-Form Pulse-Blade (VFPB)
 * Weapon Derivation: various other Original Weapons
 * Form 1: A rather simple broadsword with visible segments in the metal – the blade appears to be made of multiple smaller pieces.  The grip is unusually long, being better suited to a greatsword, and bears a strange trigger assembly.  The weapon is deceptively heavy.  Aura Buster’s grip is fairly unremarkable other than its size, being wrapped in plain leather.  The metal is spider-webbed with different colored lines, caused by Dust forged into the metal.
 * Form 2: Thanks to folding-frame technology, the blade expands out to the size of a very wide greatsword.  In this form, a tube is visible in the blade’s core, leaving an opening at the unusual flat (blunt) tip of the blade.
 * Holstered/Sheathed Appearance: Usually carried at the waist in broadsword form, or occasionally in greatsword form across the back.
 * Features/Capabilities: The trigger assembly not only allows the weapon to transform, but also lets Aurora channel her semblance into the blade and focus it through the tube, allowing her to hurl spheres of explosive light from the tip.  Other users could use the blade to channel Dust in combination with their Aura, at considerably lower effectiveness or greater cost.  The Dust forged into the metal strengthens it and makes it resistant to most elemental attacks, though it sometimes interferes with Dust-based actions made by the user.
 * Usage: Aurora uses the blade to engage in light swordplay until she gets warmed up (or angry), at which point she expands it.  Devastating physical blows with the massive weapon combine with mid-ranged Aural Blasts to create a dangerous combination.
 * Planned/Possible Upgrades: Improved firing mechanism to reduce cost, isolated barrel to avoid Dust-infused metal interference, potential for a magazine loader to fire actual ammunition.
 * Notes: Specifically created as a counter/compliment to Ash’s Leonidus’ Cross.
