Sonic Alterations
[Prime] Sonic Alteration
When
Tue, May 23, 8pm – 9pm
Where
Ta'Vaalor; Bard Guild, Member's Bar (map)
Description
High Musician Vilana invites bards to try their luck in a raffle for a sonic alteration! For the winner, she will customize the sonic item of the bard's choice: a Sonic Shield, Sonic Weapon, Sonic Armor, or Singing Sword. Tickets will be 25,000 silvers, and the winner must pay 75,000 additional silvers. Wins are not transferable and must be redeemed at the time of the raffle (so you must be present at the drawing). You don't have to be able to sing the song to receive the alteration; it will be ready when you are! (However, you must be able to enter the guild to enter the raffle.)
I had a few people asking me about restrictions/guidelines etc for sonic alterations, so I figured I would comment what little I know and hopefully someone else can chime in also. Also, I figured we could share what we've got done so people can get ideas.
You can get 1009, 1012, 1014, and 1025 done. Each can have customized look, so make sure whatever you get done is the weapon/armor/shield type you plan to stick with for a long time. For armor you tell them what ASG you want, shield size/type for shield, weapon type for the rest, pretty standard. You need to keep in mind that the sonic item is comprised of air/sound/vibrations and such, so it can't obviously be made of steel or something like that. But, since it's not a regular object, the alteration guidelines are somewhat different. I've seen rainbows, shadows for armor, flaming weapons, etc. It's pretty awesome.
my singing sword is a halberd base - a floating grey crescent bladed half-moon
You see a fairly typical crescent bladed half-moon.
It appears to be in good shape.
It has nothing at this time.
A shimmering silver half-moon hovers in mid-air, gently bobbing up and down. The semi-circular crescent blade extends from the top of the long, misty black haft in undulating shades of whites and greys, reminiscent of the cratered surface of Liabo. Where the head attaches to the haft the shades darken starkly to black, giving the overall impression of a half moon in first quarter phase. A banner of bright white motes of light trail the weapon as it moves, dissipating like falling stars.
sonic weapon - a dark ethereal infantry pike - Shifting motes of deep black and cinereous hues spiral and flicker within the hazy confines of the sonic pike's shaft, the motions reminiscent of nothing more than a vaporous igaesha. At one end of the shaft, shimmering caliginous tendrils twist outward from the darkness to form a long blade, providing external form to the riotous sonic chaos within. In a rhythmic but arcane cadence, sparks flicker and die within the blade, leaving only tenebrous after images.
sonic shield - a nebulous night-black aegis swirling internally with countless starry motes
armor is ASG 15 or augmented chain - some tenebrous shifting fluid armor - Shifting darkness swirls around the wearer into the form of armor. The liquid-like mass of darkness oscillates between chain-like armor and the visage of an oculoth. Dotting the surface of the black morass like stars in a purely alien sky are hundreds upon hundreds of eyes of every shape and color, each constantly shifting upon the body like a horrible tapestry of writhing worms. Fixed upon the very center of the oculoth form's aqueous body is a massive eye, its iris tinted a deep viridian hue.

Japhrimel takes his black branding iron and jabs the superheated metal into your open wound. You let out a scream as the hot iron sizzles against your flesh, which begins to smoke and burn. The sensation sets your nerves aflame with blinding white agony, but somehow you manage to retain consciousness through the excruciating procedure. At last, the wound is blackened and sealed, but the pain is slow to recede.
...unfortunately, your heart gives out a moment later.
