ART: YoYoBro IDEA: YoYoBro NOTES: "Becomes your weapon" means that: 1- It disappears from the bf without triggering death effects 2- It goes into your weapon slot and replaces any previous weapon 3- At the end of every turn, it deals damage equal to its attack to your opponent's HP 4- It becomes a permanent and can be exploded, stolen, endowed, PAed and such 5- If it was delayed, adrenalined, poisoned, frozen or GP'ed it loses that status 6- Its ability (and ability cost due to SoR) stays the same SERIES: None

Another new concept, looked interesting so I wanted to check what you guys think of this idea.

EDIT: It just came into my mind that devour could cause issues. So it loses devour if it's got that ability. And about growth, only its attack grows. When animate weapon is used on a creature whose soul has been reshaped, it just returns on the bf with its original stats and abilities.

first think is 'ruby dragon'  low hp and powerful by itself   lol

and this one gain what you buff it?  like blessing/antimatter or even butterfly effect?

and what if flying it?   are that turnback into creature?  or be a new type of flying weapon?   i'm ask cuz it have a little different when it have crusader that can endow this new weapon on the field.

[YoYoBro]

I thought of the synergy with Ruby Dragon but it's not OP imo.

"Antimattered" isn't a status so yes, it keeps the antimattered atk, even tho I don't see the point of using this card on an AM'ed creature

Same goes for blessing.

I added the "if you use AW" scenario in the OP.

[OldTrees]

I think soul manipulation is the domain of Darkness and Light (fine, Death too)

Why Aether?

Looks balanced.

Upon AW I would suggest it keep its new attack and regains its old HP

[YoYoBro]

More than the soul, I chose aether because it's the elements than "manipulates" the essence and makes things immortal (for example with quintessence). Darkness would've been my second choice. Should I change it into darkness or it's fine?

[Ekki]

I say it's OK right now.

IMO devour should be there anyways... Maybe make if it works as if the weapon had a determined hp (like 3, 5, 7, or the hp it had before being reshaped)

About the element, I like , but maybe make a poll.

[YoYoBro]

I chose not to keep devour because it would render coding more complex (Zanz would have to make it so that the game stores the value of the fixed HP into a variable and takes it into account for devour, until it ceases to be a weaponified creature... too much work for him).

Anyway, I'll just wait for 1 or 2 more comments you say aether is good, I'll wait for OldTrees whose decisions are fairly motivated and correct, and maybe someone else's.

[Uppercut]

You could always have the weapon gain devour and treat the lack of defense as 0.

[YoYoBro]

0 HP you mean? Not being able to devour anything?

EDIT: Anything but BoLs and such?

[Uppercut]

Yeah, as 0 hp. It still couldn't devour a BL though. It would have the ability, but it would effectively be useless. The reason you'd do it that way is so Zanz doesn't have to code it losing an ability and then magically regaining it based on the state its in.

[YoYoBro]

Hm, maybe... anyway, he is the one who would know what to do, based upon what is faster for him so I think I'll just submit this to the crucible when I get some feedback about the element, and that means I'll have to wait tomorrow cuz OldTrees already spent time for my cards today and it's 2 AM here, I can't bug him furthermore...

[rohlfo]

ooo, like it, nice idea!
Words like Soul are associated with darkness/light but the concept I feel is probably aether. Perhaps change to name to be more eathery? Can't think of anything myself...
