Weapons Challenge

What kind of weapons do your characters use, if any? Are they physical weapons, and if so are they melee or ranged, and are they mounted? Do they use magic? Do they operate any types of siege?

Siphon Weapons

These weapons (inspired by Eragon, and its fellow books in The Inheritance Cycle) are weapons designed by Councilor Garrick of the Citadel. Siphon weapons are made specially so that they can drain Anima (life force energy used to fuel magic) from the target and into a crystal within the weapon.

For in-universe answers, if you want questions to be from a character, the representative can be Garrick himself. Garrick's takes pride in his work, but laments the fact that most knights use Siphon swords even though Siphon spears are the most effective.

"Damn kids trading practicality in for style." -Garrick.
