The Raiken

[Zetsumei Myû]

Name: The Raiken
Categorization: Katana. Only second-phase Zetsumei and up may use this weapon.
Description:

The Raiken is a katana built for speed. It is made out of thin, lightning-infused metal, that is resistant to breaking. The hilt is black; in fact, it is rumored to be made out of a very large, carefully carved black diamond (but no one knows if this is true). On the butt of the hilt is a carved-in insignia of the Zetsumei clan, which is the shi kanji. The Raiken has curving symbols lightly engraved into the flat part of the blade.

Abilities:

Normally, the Raiken is an above-average katana, used for speed and precise cutting attacks. Infused with lightning, however, (which it will become when touched by a second-phase Zetsumei that has absorbed lightning) it gives off both electrical and slashing damage. The opponent, when touching the katana or cut with it, will also recieve electrical burns and shocks, and may even become paralyzed by a fast chain of attacks. When the Raiken is in touch with another weapon (blocking, for example) an electrical charge may travel from the Raiken, to the opponent's weapon, to the opponent, shocking them.
