\cf Quadravol ("Ardent Cross")\c-

\cxClassification:\c-
\cf Incendiary Pistol(?)\c-
A powerful incendiary weapon coming from **Kmonn Shuna**, prized among **Xekkian** commanders. The **Quadravol** shoots blazing balls of fire that explode spectacularly in contact with anything, releasing intense heat and kinetic force. It is seen to be very useful against crowds as the force of impact is potent enough to disperse them quickly. One very distinctive trait of the weapon is the fact that the flames that burst out of it will burn brightly even underwater.
The name of the weapon comes from the **Xekkas** language, and it stands for **"Ardent Cross"**. This name is taken from a verse of the old legend of the heroic general **Antikalapsus**, who in 17381 BC defeated the **Inshta Ereuma** and his **Ministry of Destruction**. As the verse narrates:
\cf"Saida shuna hoskaxar ter quadravol sundara vostoshakera serai, doro ultirukoda bos naaxakka ter usosmodu bura tasaskil."\c-
\cf(For the flames of the ardent cross spread throughout the horde, and cleansed this holy land of the corruption they had brought.)\c-
The Ardent Cross was the name of the general's sword which, when imbued with magic, would release deadly cross slashes of burning flame.
\cfPrimary Fire:\c- Large fireball shots, which will ignite nearby targets on impact.
\cfSecondary Fire:\c- Pumps additional fuel, increasing the strength of your shots, but also their drift, making them less accurate. Excess overcharge will result in a wildly inaccurate misfire, but even this has its uses.
\cfTertiary Fire:\c- Switch weapon stances between two-handed and one-handed. This serves no real purpose other than looking cooler when pumping, your accuracy with the weapon is unaffected but you won't shoot it as quickly.
\cfReloading:\c- Insert up to five fuel cells into the weapon's tube magazine. Each cell is immediately emptied into the weapon's internal "crucible", so you can keep loading additional ammo while boosting your charge.
\cfTechniques:\c- The weapon has a certain "extra effective" special move should you be close enough to your target. Plunging the four bayonets into an enemy and immediately pulling the trigger afterwards will result in a potent point blank explosion that will send them flying, covered in flames.
The various charge levels of the internal crucible appear to dramatically alter the behavior of fired projectiles. The most notable changes are reflected as such:
\cfLevel 1:\c- Fast and steady projectile, with moderate blast radius.
\cfLevel 2:\c- Slower projectile with some drift, increased blast radius and damage.
\cfLevel 3:\c- Slow, massive, erratic projectile, with much more dramatic blast potential. Ruptures into sub-projectiles on impact.
\cfLevel 4:\c- Projectile splits into multiple fragments as it leaves the barrel. Each sub-projectile is only slightly weaker than a level 1 fireball.
\cfLevel 5:\c- At this point, whatever projectile was to be fired will instantly explode outwards. This attack is very destructive, and its damage and range may increase further if a full cell is still chambered.
\cxSaya's Notes:\c-
\cfTypical overly dramatic Xekkian stuff. The "Ardent Cross", really... But it's as badass as it sounds, at least.\c-
\cfAnd of course it's huge af too for something that's supposedly a pistol. Honestly, with these people, you just never know. Their "light sidearms" are humongous.\c-
\cfAnyway, motherfucking fireballs, that work underwater??? Gonna need to see the science behind this because that makes no fucking sense and yet... it's there.\c-
\cfBy the way, leverguns make me wild out. You know it, we all know it, they're just SO GOOD.\c-
