Also licensed to me, only.
IDEA:
Arum, Inspired by Poker Alho who likes weapons other than swords.
NOTES:
Pretty simple. Whatever your mark is, this weapon gains that weapon's passive or ability.
E.g. I play this. I use imbue with Death mark. This gains venomous and now adds 1 poison counter to each successful attack.
This could lead to some cool strategies, such as this + Life, this + Earth, this + Entropy, this plus Darkness, anything really.
This is an ACTIVE ability and is replaced by your mark's ability.
Can be brought in the bazaar for 148 Electrum, sold for 106 Electrum.
Ranged.

EDIT: Updated with better art.
•Has dialect scroll in middle
•More "other-esque"
•Has CLEAR gem in spearhead, representing imbuification.

I was just about to post a card inspired by the same rant!  :P  An axe though, not a spear.

This completely dumps cards like eternity, druidic staff, owl's eye, and others in the dust. Not only does it act as a very cheap substitute for an elemental weapon, but it can also be brought out with 4 quanta and used by literally any element. This allows a weapon splash of any element into every deck.

You'll need the mark, and the quanta to use it. So it cannot just be dumped into any random deck. I'll make it 4-5. Fair enough?

I like the idea.  It loses some versatility should the mark not match the skill that is gained from the weapon of the element, like Pulverizer and Trident.  Also, it does appear to be too easily placed into a Nova deck for speedy play and simply running the skill on normal quanta means, but perhaps some testing in the Card Idea Battlefield will show it's potential and balance.

>implying 4-5 quanta is a big deal. Hello quantum pillars and nova!

Most weapons are used almost solely because they have some neat ability. Using this just blows it all away. If we wanted fast damage, we'd all be using longswords.
