Lore
Forged in the secret workshops of a long-forgotten artificer guild, the Aetherbolt Repeater blends arcane engineering with divine craftsmanship. Its stock is reinforced with mithral gears, its limbs are wound with dragon sinew, and its firing mechanism is powered by an eternal crystal capacitor. This weapon does not simply shoot bolts—it channels the wielder’s intellect into deadly precision, bending the boundaries of invention and magic.
