NOTES:
Dunno if this will work. It was designed with mark-related Other weapons and Animate Weapon in mind. I'm not sure if I like it, to be honest.

Interesting way of changing the mechanic so that the additional damage is stronger than the normal damage. I think this would work well with Crusaders. (And then I imagine Crusaders using Magic Wands to zap enemies...  :)) )

As if this wasn't enough, you could Twin Universe them, too! An extra six damage per card, for free? Yes please.

While a wand does sort of fit with Light/Aether, the Light/Aether rares aren't wands(OE and Short Bow, Hammer and Pulvy/Titan, Dagger with Vampire Stiletto/Arsenic in a sense).

Also, how did you choose its stats?  Dagger does 2 damage + 1 for the correct mark.  This makes it different from Hammer/Short Bow/Dagger.  That doesn't make it OP/UP, but why did you make it more dependent on the mark?

Mostly to differentiate it from the other mark related weapons. Also, as worked away at the card, it gradually started leaning toward Animate Weapon. As 1world mentioned, the upgraded stats do seem to lean toward OP, too, but I felt that 4 was too weak. Due to the reversed nature of the damage, I decided to exclude Wand from the normal CC of the Other weapons. Ideally, 6 damage should cost 1, but seeing as it's conditional...I dunno. It was a weird one to try and balance, oddly enough.

CURATOR COMMENT:
- If the weapon is going to have different stats for different marks, please include both under the ATK|HP section of the table.

Due to this being a "grey area" in the rules, this card will be immediately moved to the Crucible when resubmitted.

Ah, I gotcha. Thanks for catching that. I've modified the "flying" stats, but any input would be appreciated. I'm thinking this should only really be worthwhile upgrading if you're specifically playing Light or Aether, but there's always room for improvement. Thoughts anyone?

Hm. What about Mitosis TU wand? Zillions of Wands dealing 5 damage each.

Mitosis doesn't work with weapons. The most you could have is 12, without mindgate.

And that would be probably be better with long sword anyways.
