Scattered Notes Of A Genius(Madman)
Mechanical and magic in nature, this prosthetic arm will replace a missing one. As long as the user is conscious it functions much the same as an organic arm does, under their control and imparting physical sensation to them.
“Apart from near the nodes, the protruding space is made up of negative and positive particles in about equal abundance. In this state the medium begins to glow and act in a manner completely unattached from our expectations of a gas, or any other state of matter. I theorise that this is a fourth state of matter where the mundane melds with the magical. I call this state, plasma.”
Written Notes Following First Successful Test
When attuned to this arm you may use your lightning launcher as a melee weapon. Superheating the air around the gauntlet to form a blade of vibrant plasma. Instead of making a ranged attacked you may make a melee attack if you so wish. This weapon has the finesse trait and functions like the range attack in every other manner, including the extra damage once per turn.
“Initially the specimen reported no pain, though he recognised something significant had happened as he felt he saw a light brighter than a thousand suns and yet, his vision remained unaffected. Not wanting to unintentionally inform anyone of his attempts at criminal behaviour, the creature returned home. That night, however, his face swelled beyond recognition and he visited a local healer for treatment. Eventually I collected the specimen via a discreet extraction (12-19 native deaths) , mostly so I could observe his expiration rather than from any expectation of survival.
Over the next few days the flesh around the point of contact began to peel off, gradually burning a hole through his skin, skull and brain. Remarkably he did not die, instead, his tissue continued to melt away slowly over the ensuing 2577 days, eventually causing paralysis on the left side of his face, as well as the occasional spasm. No other negative side effects have been observed. As a further point of oddity the flesh around, and that healed over the point of contact, seems unaffected by ageing or disease.”

In addition the arm integrates into your internal magical ecosystem seamlessly. Whenever you successfully make a spell attack, range or melee, you may also apply your lightning launcher’s extra damage as the arm super charges the attack with it’s own powerful arcana-science. You still may only apply the extra damage to one attack, from any source, per turn.
