Drone Sword
An evocation of the Synthemata. Forged from recursion, iterative generation of the many-pronged sickle blades from a mambele throwing sword, together with the form of a ballistic knife.
It is not so much a weapon as the metamorphosis of a weapon. The sorceror Pandelume once spoke life into a living sword, a consecrated gift to she possessed by the flaw of hated beauty, who knew only the sorrow of ugliness. Whilst superficially bearing a metallic appearance akin to a bladed electromechanical slab of actuators, the true form of the Drone Sword - and perhaps all creations of the Synthemata - resembles a fractal transforming mist of splintering barbs and thorns. Within the hollowness of drifting smoke, quivering edges and jewelled slivers, is the hard and empty shadow of a sword.
(QM: you think this weapon can transform into nearly any other melee weapon; it also has some limited throwing reach ranged capabilities. You wonder if a transforming weapon might be useful for disguises... but just how temperamental can these creations of the Synthemata be?)
