A weapon eh? Time to see what I can conjure up...

Tada! A beginners bracelet, perfect for lesson 101 of magics.

For simplicity's sake,we'll just use some standard crystals. Fire, Ice, and Lightning.
Just plug in the crystal to one of the three* slots, and tada, you can do a magic.

Now, since the bracelet has three slots you can use all these at once, and even combine the effects of different crystals into one spell! Fancy. This can get particularly complicated and intricate with enough slots and practice, but that's why it's a beginners bracelet, not a mighty mage deluxe or whatever those new arcane practioners call them these days. But I digress.

Using the band is quite simp... One moment.

Ahem. Using the band is quite simple. Point at something, and think of the element(s) you want to use. Then the bracelet works its magic... Oh, and as a beginners bracelet don't worry about misfires. It has a built-in safety due to certain incidents a few years back. Nothing to worry about!

*Normally beginners bracelets have four slots, with the fourth slot being very important for doing anything other than launch elemental bolts at wherever you happen to be pointing at the time. Unfortunately said bracelets are out of stock, so had to pull one out of the reject pile. The price of having products produced by literal chimps. I will, uh. Let you know if I find any other spare trinkets in there...

You created the Adaptive Combat Bracelet!
Your conflicting intentions produce... something... from multiple designs.



ADAPTIVE COMBAT BRACELET (Party Member)
The Adaptive Combat Bracelet is a free-flying multi-weapon with one directive: protect her owner at all costs.
By acting as a Party Member versus standard Equipment, 'Ada' absolves her owner of responsibility for bloodshed.
After all, the Elderly and Preschool Demographics appreciate a less violent heroine.



Ada joins the party!
You can check the party's status with, aptly, the STATUS command.
Further instructions to come.

AUBREY
"So... what you're saying is..."
"I'm a P*kemon Trainer now?"

Aubrey gives Ada a tentative pet. The bracelet(?) hums affectionately.

AUBREY
"Well, okay. If it works, it works."

She pauses to think, nerves fading in favour of excitement.
