[Primordial] Weapon - Torrential Lash
🕑 Added 2023-03-06 15:00:05 +0000 UTCThe fourth and final weapon of the primordial set. Mirror Image is a pretty great spell on its own. I initially designed the look to be more akin to a stream of water, but changed course later on when I realized it did not look as powerful as would a stream of seawater, more akin to the tide.

This whip is one of four weapons wielded by the heroes of the last Awakening, used to slay the primordial titans before their disaster can befall the mortal realm. Icy spikes jut from the end of this whip's meandering tidal length.
