To pair up with Blausten's semblance, here's his weapon.

Weapon: Bürstenklinge

Name Meaning: Brush blade in German

Maker/Smith: Blausten Marc

Type: Dust Loaded Spray Glaive (DLSG)

Weapon Derivation: Guandao, switch pen, flamethrower

Design: A collapsable guandao with a steel gray blade, ink blue shaft and brass colored trim. Near the blade of the glaive, there is a thicker part with a set of five dust triggers that resemble the switches on a switch pen. When these triggers are pulled, the blade is imbued with whichever dust corresponds to that trigger. The shaft can collapse into a shorter handle for easier carry and close combat usage. The blade can turn into a stock while the shaft and other end turn into a barrel when in its dust spraying form. When the triggers are pulled in this form, they spray the respective dust like a flamethrower at a medium range.

Holstered/Inactive Form: Held at the hip in a short blade form.

Form 1: Guandao

Form 2: Dust flamethrower

Dust Capacity: Five dust triggers and tubing systems. Can be reloaded from the opening the bottom of the blade where the triggers are, using dust canisters.

Ammunition: Burn, ice, lightning, earth and wind dust primarily although other dusts can be substituted.

Usage: Blausten primarily uses his weapon like a traditional guan dao. Mid range slashes, jabs and whacks to disarm his opponents along with spinning attacks. Blausten also uses many extra strokes with his weapon during combat to use his semblance, combining visual art and combat. He can collapse it down to its holstered form to use it as a more close ranged blade. Blausten dislikes using the flamethrower mode as he doesn't see it as "artful" or useful as the melee forms. He only uses it when completely necessary.

Planned/Possible Upgrades:

Notes: Based on a large brush/pen but with a blade in place of the tip. The flamethrower part is based on airbrushing as well as the fact that Franz Marc, Blausten's character basis, fought for Germany in World War 1 at which they started using flamethrowers.
