Essence of theWeapon and the Slayer

By drinking this Essence, you gain the title of The Slayer, and The Weapon bound to you.

• Transforming Blob: The Weapon's real form is an amorphous shadowy transforming blob of conceptual death. At first The Weapon will be weak. Slow to transform, not dense enough or sharp enough to be any more effective of a weapon than an airsoft gun or aluminum bat, but it is still able to transform into any shape you can imagine. From a desert eagle to Excalibur, it can look like anything, however its abilities won't be anywhere near the actual thing until it strengthens a bit.

• Kill Empowerment: Each time The Weapon is used to deliver the killing blow it grows in strength. Its transformation becoming faster, more solid, sharper, and deadlier it becomes. When properly strengthened the bazooka it transforms into will be able to shoot missiles rather than fireworks, the bat it transforms into will still feel light as feather in your hand but will strike with the mass of a tungsten bat, and the sharpness of its blade will be able to cleave through densest metal without effort. The deadliness will grow too, eventually allowing you, The Slayer, to kill the unkillable or 'without death' with the same effort killing a mortal would take.

• Murder Count: Each kill you deliver with The Weapon ticks a counter at its base. If it is a blade then the pommel will have the counter, if a rifle then the butt will have it, but that is only the default placement, you can change how the Weapon looks or where the counter appears as you wish. This count can be also used by you to survive death. Each time you would've taken a mortal blow or died of natural causes the count will decrease by one and you will heal back to perfect health.

• Spiritual Imprint: Any time a being dies to The Weapon a spiritual imprint gets made, you can summon the imprint to question them, use them as tireless slaves, or utilize them as soldiers, or any other thing you might wish to use a tireless ghostly version of the being you just killed. The shades shall regain the capabilities they had when alive and healthy but the final blow they received will be visible on their ethereal forms. If a spiritual imprint gets destroyed then you can resummon them after a certain amount of time.

• Consuming: The Weapon has the ability to absorb the fallen and other weapons, simply touch it to a target and The Weapon's true form will cover it and consume it. The consumed corpses will grant you, The Slayer, increased capabilities, ability to shift your appearance partially or fully, and unique abilities if the target had any you wanted. The consumed weapons on the other hand will grant The Weapon more real transformations, allowing it to not split its focus on managing its form and simply concentrate on being deadlier than it normally could. If the physical capabilities of the consumed thing is greater than The Slayer or The Weapon, then their capabilities will rise to match.

• The Bond: The Weapon and you, The Slayer, share a bond that is more than a bond. You are one being. It is no more possible to disarm you of The Weapon than it is to take humidity out of the sea. You can simply reform it at your hand at will. Move it as if you were moving your body. Even shift it into a copy of your own body or make it into a shadowy monster of all the beings it delivered the final blow to or consumed. If you get smote out of existence then The Weapon will reform you by consuming the nearest corpse, or making a corpse and then consuming it, if The Weapon gets obliterated somehow then you can simply resummon it again after some time for it to heal inside you.

• The Slayer: There is no limit to The Weapon's growth, same is also true for you. As your kill count rises you will find your affinity with death rising, your gaze towards weakness sharpening, your strikes in combat becoming more deadly, instinctually understanding the lethality of people with a glance, and dodging deadly blows before you know they are coming. As you kill, even without consuming corpses, you will find your own body strengthening too at an incremental peace. Eventually you will grow past the limits of your flesh and become an embodiment of Death, not dying unless killed and not weakening regardless of the passing of time.
