Lightning Chain
A Lightning Chain is a type of electrified flail originating from the Agri-World of Acreage.[1]
Overview
A strange weapon which at first glance, appears to be a length of spiked chain measuring about one to one and a half metres, the lightning chain originates from Acreage, though it's use has since spread to other worlds. Upon closer inspection it is apparent that the chain is fashioned from a unique alloy found only on Acreage, which can store kinetic energy, discharging it in the form of blue coloured, energy sparks when the chain moves with any kind of sharp, excessive force.[1]
When properly used in combat, a lightning chain can inflict burns from the writhing energy fields that 'spark' as it moves as well as the typical dreadful lacerations and broken bones associated with that style of weapon. These energy fields pose a risk to the weapons wielder as well as its intended victim, requiring the user to wear thick leather or hide gloves to insulate them from burns. Many lightning chain users wear thick gloves made from the tough hides of grox-like animals found on Acreage for this purpose.[1]
