For the second idea, do you mean a greatsword that has similar capabilities as Weiss's Mytenmaster or something else?

For the kite shield, I was thinking of something like a bigger variant of Jaune's Crocea Mors, for a character with a more defensive fighting style(Perhaps it could be partnered with a spear of some sort instead of a sword, so as to keep enemies further away).

For the greatsword, it would basically be a bigger version of Myrtenmaster, yes. I would expect the Dust exhausts to run the length of the blade. I think it would be interesting if the main exhausts could close, causing a secondary exhaust at the end of the Dust delivery channel to open, creating a barrel. Combined with a hilt that transformed into a grip and stock, it could serve as a massive, Dust-powered shotgun.
