ART: Image from http://www.sword-buyers-guide.com/castile.html, copywright status unknown. Image is used for demonstrative purposes. IDEA: UndeadSpider1990 NOTES: Crusaders cannot gain the weapon's 'Animate' ability. After using Endow, the Crusader's ability becomes 'Regenerate', for either 2 or 3 HP's depending on the Longsword being upped or not. The sword when Animated: Unupped: 4/5 airborne Upped:     5/5 airborne

*The card-maker is absolutely amazing! Bravo whoever came up with that, it makes card designing easy and available to everyone.

Be sure to prove image is not copyrighted. Study other threads that are of weapons, use them as a guide for formatting.

[UndeadSpider1990]

=P Sorry, was not aware of formatting rules (had to ask someone to point me to this part of the forum haha). Will change that.

Also the image easily could be copywright, tho tbh I'd be happy to change it. As a matter in fact let's just pretend Zanz decided to make this card, I would insist that we find a better picture! But this suffices for now, no? Thoughts?

I really like the artwork. Could use an ability or damage bump though. It seems a little bit UP as it is.

[dragonsdemesne]

This seems fairly balanced to me.  It's lower damage than morning star, and targetable, but you get healing and you get built-in flying weapon if you need it.  Monolight already would get more damage (though not healing) out of Longswords, so that's not a valid argument against this card.

Your blessing comment is actually already accounted for in current code, as that's exactly how it would work animating/blessing and then endowing any weapon already in game.

The only change I would recommend is to make the flying weapon ability cost an element other than light.  Air would be logical.  It isn't really needed for balance reasons, but it just feels more 'right' with that change.

[UndeadSpider1990]

Aw poop. Thinking about reasons this will never exist:

- So far there has never been an extra weapon of an Element
- It would probably be rare (I think so?), and Light already has an extra rare (Miracle).
- You're kind of right about changing the ability cost to Air. It feels right. (I only did it because I wanted something Mono-Light.
- Also it's pretty expensive compared to Vampire stilletto for instance. A deck would blatantly rather duo with that.

Still... there's gotta be something for self-animating weapons right??

Fractal weapons?

[Xamuel]

1. endow the enchanted longsword while it's still a weapon
2. your crusader gains the ability to turn into a creature for 2
3. turn your crusader into a creature
4. congratulations, you just made the universe explode

[Drake_XIV]

You still need to provide stats for when Airborne.

I suggest just calling the ability Animate.

[mildlyfrightenedboy]

So, it basically just comes with a free Animate?  I guess that you could Fractal it and play one on each turn painstakingly in some sort of RoL Hope deck, but, other than that, I don't see much synergy between Flying Weapon and regeneration.

Why does an enchanted/blessed sword animate itself?
