Guild Wars 2

i know that new legendaries aren’t (likely to be) a thing anymore, so to fit with that, this is a design for a weapon type that doesn’t even exist.

It would be a greataxe, and when sheathed (on your back) it would totally disappear.

When drawn, a flash of light would appear between your characters hands, extending into a shaft of light (skybox ala daybreak/nightfall/twilight?) which forms the haft of the weapon, tapering to points at either end. around the edges, but concentrated more intensely around the ‘head’ would be constantly moving tendrils of shadowy energy (also skybox?) which would form the axe’s blade.

while drawn, your character would be divided, one half bathed in light and the other cloaked in shadow. Footstep effects would be the same (also skybox’d if that was the design) but mirrored – so your light half leaves dark footprints and vice versa.

Generally a chaos/order \\ dark/light \\ good/evil combined theme.

greataxe isn’t even a weapon type yet.

Narrz mentioned that in his/her first sentence

I think it sounds interesting, though I’m not sure complete invisibility when stowed is quite satisfying, and the overall effect might be too ongoing flashy to bear looking at long term. I’d have to see some concept art.

the concept art is right there, he just left it stowed

It could be done as a great axe skin on a hammer though. That has been done previously, you don’t actually need it to be an axe.

Similarly it might not actually disappear, just have the shaft shrink a lot.

Precursor could be a sparkling gold version similar to Dawn.

It does sound promising.

Ok, that got an out loud chuckle from me
