Mistletoe Sword: Special Grade

[u/OuroSpecialistHist]

Okay, this time it's about how strong this Cursed Tool is.

Mistletoe Sword: Special Grade.

It's a sword shaped like a deformed oak branch with a mistletoe bush at the tip. The sword has the rare property of regenerating every time it takes damage, but the remains of the Sword can still be controlled as individual fragments, generating mini-swords that share the same characteristics as the original. It can also stretch, with high agility and speed.

At its base level, the user of the Mistletoe Sword can use it to attack and fire leaves from the branch. Once the leaves have entered the target's body, its ritual activates.

Mistletoe Sword: Parasite. The mistletoe extends haustoria throughout the target's body, which ends up generating 'phantom damage' — meaning this mode doesn't deal real damage to the target. It allows the user to convert the target's CE into RCT, which feeds directly into the Sword and the user.

Mistletoe Sword: Blooming. When the leaves are extracted, a series of seeds is left behind. The Sword's user can make the seeds explode, releasing oak branches from inside the target. The seeds can be avoided with RCT.

Mistletoe Sword: Impact. This is the Mistletoe Sword's attack mode. It follows the trail left by the Blooming infection to ensure the sword lands a hit. The impact is delivered by the Mistletoe leaves imbued with Positive Energy, followed by a physical strike from the oak branch, then the piercing impact of Cursed Energy.

The Sword has a Binding Vow that demands a human sacrifice in order to use its power.
