-Name: Aetherial Forge

-User(s): No Name

-Type: Conjuration

-Purpose: Utility

-Short description: Uses Aura to create a downgraded copy of an item that the user had seen before, imitating it's properties.

-Full description: Creates a copy of an item that the user had already seen before, using Aura. The copy has the same traits (texture, material, mechanisms, etc.), but is comparatively weaker than the original, and will lack the Dust, or any sort of energy, that the original possessed (so any batteries are useless).

The items are created gradually, and the smaller/simpler, the faster it is created. They can, at any time, be detonated to cause an explosive blast with the Aura they were made with. Of course, any item can be created with deliberately-less, or none, of the properties of the original, making them much simpler than they would be normally.

-Visual Cue: A round sigil appears on the user's hands, mainly the palms. A glowing, light blue figure appears in front of their hands, with a vague shape of the intended item, gaining detail gradually, though generally it's never as detailed as the original (ex: The colors would seem more pale and the item would have a weaker glow).

-Auditive Cue: A slowed-down sound of sharpening blades, growing in volume as the item's creation nears completion.

-Range: Personal/Short.

-General limitations: 1-It can be used to make functional ranged weapons, like guns. However, it does not copy the ammo. Aura projectiles can be fired, but have next-to-no traits whatsoever making them similar to "shooting air". Specific projectiles however, by themselves, can be created, and for weapons like bows, it's pretty much required.

2-The objects need to be seen to be created. Even if one knew the materials or saw a blueprint, creating the object would be impossible without having seen them personally. However, post-sighting, the higher the user's understanding of the object, the more accurate and effective it can be when being created.

3-The objects degrade over time after being created, slowly losing their properties and becoming easier to break, until finally fading away. Duration is proportional to their complexity, though the very maximum amount is 30 minutes.

4-In theory, large objects such as vehicles or furniture could be created. However, they would cost an extremely amount of Aura (and time) to even be created, so in the very best of cases they would last less than a single minute, and more likely they wouldn't even be complete before the user's Aura is depleted.

5-As said before, it does not copy the original's Dust. Any Dust present in the original will be present if the item is created, but will be functionless, useless for anything but cosmetic pleasure.

6-Items created don't explode if broken, they just disappear. They can only be detonated by the user, at will.

-Tier One: Generally speaking: User can create small items (like daggers) without difficulty, medium objects (like 1-handed axes and swords) with only some problems, and large objects (like polearms) with difficulty. Small items can be created in 5 seconds at most, while large items can take up to more than a minute. Can only create 1 item at a time, regardless of size.

-Tier Two: Faster creation time when making 1 object. Can create multiple objects simultaneously, even large ones, though with a slower creation time.

-Dust interaction: Gives elemental properties to the object. The only way for the user's created weapons to also possess the original's Dust-related traits. If the created item is "incomplete", the Dust will surround it like an aura. If it's complete, it can instead be present in a more specific form.

-Notes: An adaptation of Gradation Air/Projection, specifically Archer's Tracing, with some changes here and there. Mainly, not restricted to Melee weapons. Or weapons, for that matter. And no Unlimited Blade Works.

The name follows a similar idea to Gradation Air; "Forge" because it consists of creating objects, mainly weapons. "Aetherial", because, in the end, no matter how they look, said objects are made out of "nothing".

My body is made of swords.

Of steel is my body, of fire is my blood.

I have created more than a myriad blades.

Unknown to defeat, yet not known to victory.

Endured pain for that yet to come, forging alone on that hill of swords.

''Yet those hands never held anything. Never have, never would.''

My body was truly made of swords.

-Someone's version of UBW.
