DR release this last run - energy crossbow! This is fully unlocked energy weapon that was built a few months back. I've added examples as to how it works below.
Cost 125k bs to make this - starting this bid relatively low as I am trying to generate some coinage.

ENERGY WEAPONS
Energy Flares: Turn them on to let your weapon flare.
Surged Flares: These drain mana and stored energy to increase flare strength. You cannot
store mana during surged flares.
Drained Flares: These reduce the strength of your flare to bond and store energy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verb
PROD ON/OFF Energy Flares
Currently: ON
PULL ON/OFF Drained Flares (Store Mana/Bonding)
Currently: ON
PUSH ON/OFF Surged Flares (Increases flare strength)
Currently: OFF
PRAY Increases Affinity if you are ready.
PUNCH UnAttunes
Unlocked Verbs
NUZZLE Unleashes Weapon
POINT Fires Weapon
RUB Reactive Armor
Unlocked Abilities
Flared Form: Allows you to morph your staff into an instrument of destruction. While in its enhanced form you can point the staff to hit a target with a chance to hit up to 3 other targets with energy. Each additional target hit will be hit with a weaker strike. This damage scales with your weapon's tier and is stronger than your surged flare. This attack costs 30 energy and 10 mana per target hit. This will also provide a bonus to your AS scaling with AFFINITY * 2.
Cooldown: 60 minutes.
Duration: Affinity in minutes or until out of mana or energy.
Verb: Nuzzle and Point
Reactive Armor: Encases the wielder in a suit of energy armor. This has a chance reactively flare out against attackers. This will also boost the wielders defensive strength by AFFINITY * 2.
Cooldown: 60 minutes.
Verb: Rub

You can tell that the crossbow is as light as it can get.
ADDING: Actually spent some time with this over the last week to understand the mechanics. I have two of these - this is my arbalest. The one for sale is the crossbow noted above. Actually has some nice mechanics - affinity grows based on stored energy (can store 5k a day - which takes no time) and leads to the feature unlocks. I'm at Tier 5 (took me a while to realize I needed to "Pray" to get it to start attuning). Flares every 3-4 shots on top of any arrow flares. I have disintegration flares at the moment that stack on top of this. Additionally, I have a T1 ensorcell on mine as well and that works without issue. The weapon basically stores energy by using "reduced" flares (as you can see, not a huge drop). Once your stored limit is reached, you can use "Surge" flares or keep them in storage. Surge flares hit harder and for around 20% more damage (hard to quantify exactly). Once you hit Tier 4, you get the "UNLEASHED" ability that let's you point the weapon at a target and gives a super flare that does chain to lower opponents (my example didn't because I only solo critters). I don't have the armor example yet as you need to hit tier 7 (I think).

... and hit for 50 points of damage!
Head strike stuns the black forest ogre.
An earthy, sweet aroma clings to a black forest ogre in a murky haze, accompanied by soot brown specks of leaf mold.
Vital energy infuses you, hastening your arcane reflexes!
The lacquered black arbalest glows dimly as it unleashes a weakened blast of energy!
** A beam of white-colored energy emits from the tip of your a heavily lacquered black arbalest with an elevated onyx sight and collides with a black forest ogre's right eye! **
... 30 points of damage!
Hard strike to right eye pops it!
The bolt sticks in a black forest ogre's head!
