How often does it flare?

[time4fun]

Seems to be standard flare rate so far

[time4fun]

I haven't officially run tests yet, but at full affinity parasitic weapons flare very frequently. I don't get the sense that Sprite flares increase in frequency. Though Sprite flares definitely seem stronger.

[Char]

Nothing to do with functionality, but i do hate that no one else sees the sprite that hangs out. That makes me sad.

[Char]

I'm also wondering if these weapons can be ensorcelled. Anyone taken a look at that yet?

[Erous]

Do they inspect as bone like the parasite weapons? If so, they have an penalty for that work.

They're vultite. There is a difficulty modifier on them, but it's not as bad as parasitic weapons.
