Propitious Heartbeat Mage Weapons

Description

The potent fire magic that courses within the crystal flowers that bind to this scepter/wand had caused it to prevail over the perils of snow storms that would've swept away life forms like a fragile candlelight. Use it to melt a heart that succumbed to ice to bless it with the warmth of love once again.

In the DragonFable timeline, Silas had forged these weapons by using his own, Agatha's Desolation, as a model to base them off of and the crystalline flowers created from Elemental Essences by his grandmother with the staff's namesake. Both the staff and the wand were given to two agents of the Vind as a countermeasure against the Rose Inquisitor Knights and to melt the cold hearts that belonged to the unfortunate souls that they have not released should they succeed in rescuing them. More importantly, the Propitious Heartbeat Mage Weapons were created to reverse the effects of Jaania's ice magic through passive fire, a symbol of energy that courses through all that are living and love that they feel toward those they care about as well as their dreams. The agents that Silas had gifted these weapons to chose to remain anonymous to avoid being followed by their foes.

In the AdventureQuest timeline, the crystalline flowers were forged from gemstones that were found in Paxia's Igneus territory by an unidentified pyromancer who has a fondness of gemstones. The weapons that they became a part of were unfortunately abandoned for twenty long years and were later found by a gifted, studious mage named Winifred while she was studying abroad on the behalf of Northern Galicia University. She later brought them back to be donated to the school's bookstore to sell every February when they are at their most powerful.

The design process of the scepter and wand variants was an amazing learning experience for me because it allowed to explore European architecture once again and I took some inspiration from visiting one of aunts' house with my family two weekends ago before New Year's Day. Vectoring my sketches of the golden columns, gem holders, and curved capitals were challenging for me because they took some trial and error, but Hollow's advice on shading helped me pull through and give the columns a texture that came out nice and I am thankful for that because it helped me enjoy the design process and I started to have fun piecing together the rest of the weapon like they were broken pieces to put back together. The direction I took with Hollow's help worked perfectly and I was happy with how elegantly the scepter and variants turned out afterwards. ^_^ The above blurbs are the weapons' origins that take place in AQ's and DF's respective timelines to avoid any possible confusion about the details provided. Most of the time, I like to talk about DragonFable lore each time I describe a finished product except when it comes to writing item descriptions for AQW. Happy Hero's Heart Day, everyone!
