In the future we will look at the trollslayer and shudder at our extreme lack of skill as a breadling.
Personally, I really want to make a frost-themed counterpart to Trollslayer.
And then I want to make a weapon with Master Rune of Flight, plus a Rune of Fire and a Rune of Frost, like somebody had suggested. It just sounded like such an amusing and cool idea you know? A whirlwind of fire and frost. Mwahaha.
Master Rune of Conduction/ (the future Master Rune of Kragg the Grim): The weapon heats up to a blazing temperature before transferring the energy once it connects. Necesarry Ingredients: [T3] Magma Dragon's Blood
Master Rune of Currents: The weapon cuts like the biting winds at the mountain's peak, faster, sharper and unblockable. Necessary Ingredients: [T2] Griffon's Brain
Combo, Meteorfall: Strikes from this weapon hit like an object from the void striking the earth, an explosion of energy that expresses itself through heat, air and fire aimed solely at the enemy. [Blows from this weapon cause an expanding Bubble of energy that forces itself to expand despite whatever may be stopping it.] [
Master Rune of Conduction, Rune of Might, Rune of Impact.]
To me it looks like Snorri's Master Runes of Conduction and of Currents are related to Fire and Frost. Though... Conduction has a Tier 3 ingredient, to the Tier 2 of Currents... hm. Anyway!
Meteorfall was made with Conduction, Might, and Impact, right? So I wanted to see what happens if you threw together a Master Rune of Currents, a Rune of Might, and the Rune of... Cleaving, I believe. Something about "cold, biting winds" feels like it might resonate with the word "cleave", you know? The wind is so cold, that it bites into the enemy.
Though, that's just based on my looking at the word "cleave" and going "Cool." The Rune of Cleaving was used in mining, to break through rock... then again, perhaps that could still work? A wind that abrades even the mountains... Actually you know what that reminds me of? Wutroth. And how apparently part of its growth, is about having layers battered by the winds. (That kind of confused me, but hey it's fantasy.) Perhaps we'll find that "Silver Wutroth" could be an ingredient used in some kind of Frost or Cold Wind themed Runes.
The other possibility was Currents + Might + Striking. "
A weapon with this rune moves to strike the foe's most vulnerable area with an uncanny precision." Together, that sounds like a mighty wind that flows and slices through the enemy. The speed and piercing nature of wind.
Part of the problem I've been having is that... when I look at the description of the Master Rune of Currents, it says "
like the biting winds at the mountain's peak, faster, sharper and unblockable." So the winds are already faster, sharper, and unblockable. Would adding runes that make it even more faster or more sharper or more unblockable, be a good idea?
Perhaps it should be the Rune of Parrying, then. "
A weapon with this rune moves to block incoming attacks, making its wielder extremely hard to hit." Now
that adds something to the wind; it adds the element of elusiveness, of being really friggin hard to hit. So, the Dwarf
So yeah. The trouble is that while I started off with a simple idea of "Master Rune of Currents, Rune of Might, and a Rune of Cleaving obviously!" Then I considered either a Rune of Striking or even Parrying rather than Cleaving. Further thought made me more doubtful, because I wanted to achieve something that's a frost counterpart to Trollslayer, and yet nothing really seemed to quite click. The description of Currents was partly at fault; it already said a lot about biting wind, so adding more Runes... Then again, maybe that in and of itself could be a good way to get a combo going? Runes that align easily and just reinforce what the main Master Rune is doing.
