I’d like to entertain the idea of the sword. I mean Tempest, sure, calling storms with a warhorn is thematically correct but just open up your imaginations for a sec. What if… we used a sword to “BE” this tempest. I’m just letting my imagination run wild for this one, just speculations at best. But I mean, the Ele could be using it as a melee spellsword. Like infusing the energies of the elements in the sword for Melee DPS close range. Granted the dagger is something like that but personally, it doesn’t do any hack-n-slash things. How cool is it to be this flurry of elemental energy when attacking with a sword? I don’t know. Just some imagination gone wild.
