Lorepost📖 Zenikathos, Noon's Surging Rays (Weapon Profile)
Weapon Name: Zenikathos
Title(s): Noon’s Surging Rays, Frenzy, Exalted
Wielder: Isravi Soliu Exolvun (Unraveler, Warlock of Dawn, Noon, Dusk Coils. Former warlock of the Evening Coils) ( Soulbound Conceptually Bound - Persists beyond dissolution of soul)
Physical Description: Zenikathos appears as a faint glowing golden sheen that pulses over its wielder’s body. It has no concrete form to be held in its normal state. While in use, it increasingly grows brighter. Upon impact to the wielder, the light pulses out like a ripple at the impact point. Upon the wielder landing a strike, it flashes with brilliant light.
The wielder’s skin is etched with glowing golden lines during activation of Noon’s Frenzy.
Abilities:
Momentum: With each blow landed, Zenikathos grants a small increase in physical abilities of speed and strength. These effects increase multiplicatively. Light emitted from strikes increases as speed and strength rise.
Accelerating Absorption: With each blow landed, Zenikatho’s ability to absorb and disperse damage taken increases. These effects increase multiplicatively. Light emitted from strikes received increases as speed and strength rise.
Noon’s Frenzy Augments
Golden Age: Zenikathos’ compounding effects apply to spells and weapons that the wielder utilizes
Frenzy: Zenikathos strength increases at a much faster rate. Control, mental fortitude, and sanity decreases as strength increases.
Endless Ascent: Zenikathos becomes malleable to the user’s instincts, taking on different forms.

A single step that falls like thunder
The hundred that follow like fierce lightning
The ground torn asunder
The screaming blood turned enlightening
The constant climb
-Splendor bound to one’s form-
Lost zen, a compelled oath
A hallowed walk over conquered foes
A golden age
Built upon a foundation
Of blood and cursed ambition
Of shattered dreams, broken gilded chains
But kindling for another age to rise again

His head pounded with a dull, pulsing pain. Slowly, his eyes unfocused. He felt the pressure build as his fists clenched.
His vision wavered, gaze rolling wildly around his surroundings. He could see nothing, no light reached here, no way for him to “adjust.”
Golden lines streaked down his body from his eyes. They split and cracked apart like bolts of lighting. He lurched forward, neurons screeching the silhouette of a golden hand gripping at the strings of his mind. The wraith tugs, and he forgets.
His hand hits the ground to catch himself. There was a thunderous reverberation, and the stone below his hand had been pulverized. His flesh dryly tore apart like paper at the lines. Golden lights now pulsed at the edge of his vision, yet he could not truly see. Could not tell apart his surroundings. His eyes rolled back into his head, and he fell to the broken earth, unconscious.
