I'm so glad you asked!

[ Declan is giving off big "oh good I get to explain this to you" vibes, though in this case the subject matter is very much of V's interest. ]

Your new cane has four... magical charges, let's say, and the capability to cast two different spells. The first, Sword Burst, is a smaller spell that costs one charge. With it, you will create a circle of spectral blades around yourself that might ward off nearby enemies.

Secondly, you have Thunderwave, which costs two charges. Raven's Cry will emit a... well, a thunderously loud noise, which will cause damage to anyone in a certain radius of you, and may even push them away.

[ It's very clear that he thought his fellow beanpole might be in need of some crowd control. ]

The weapon will regenerate expended charges on its own at the beginning of each day, though I have no control over how many. You may get one back, you may get them all back, or anything in between.

Really truly.

[ He’s not sure what’s so amusing about that. Perhaps he’s inadvertently stumbled upon a private little joke? Whatever it is, V doesn’t seem keen on explaining right now. ]

I’m something of a— [ vague hand motions ] –glass cannon myself. Having skills that allow me to gain some distance from an attacker are quite invaluable. I thought perhaps you might benefit from the same.

[ Strahd took him from full down to 9 HP in one hit once. Shit’s scary!! ]

Well, yes. That is indeed what I was thinking. I know it’s probably not easy for you to be unable to fight as you used to, so… it was my goal to give you a bit of oomph, as it were.

[ Whether V is offended or not, Declan looks a little apologetic. He’s not sure how much of a sore spot V’s current, oh, condition is to the man himself. ]

Please, you don’t owe me anything. Getting the privilege of making it is payment enough.

If you want to consider it an IOU, I certainly can't stop you, but please understand that I personally find no greater joy than pushing my limits.

[ The smile he flashes V is a little wistful. For a second it looks like he wants to say something in particular but he changes tracks at the last moment. ]

Getting to share my achievements with a friend is a nice bonus, though.

[ Probably nothing. Don't worry about it. ]

I try my best. That repulsion shield I made for Sophia has come in quite handy.

It repels things.

[ Duh! ]

More specifically, when the shield absorbs a blow, the user can expend that energy to repel the attacker backwards. Sophia is quite brilliant with it.

Oh, yes! Sophia is masterful with a sword and shield. She's also about this tall— [ He holds up his hand somewhere in the realm of 5'2". ] —so it is absolutely hilarious to watch her destroy her opponents.

Well, I think the full suit of plate armor probably gives her away as a fighter, but I have also been shocked to watch her kick in doors and absolutely bowl people over.

I was. Ah, I miss them. We're a rag-tag little group but we're certainly effective.

I would love to tell you a tale or two, though I warn you that very few of them are... happy.

[ #justbaroviathings ]

In the meantime, I believe you have a weapon to acquaint yourself with.

You are quite welcome. I look forward to seeing it in action one day.
