Kethline Combatworks Kethline Rime-Current Powered Spear Fitted Shaft

Kethline's ordinary working spear, which tells you something about the people who built it. A thumb rail drives a tight linear pulse through the head at impact: one hard second shove, not a vibrating circus trick. Karthunai smiths frost-fit the collar over a hot tang and scratch the assembler's oath marks beneath the grip where only an armorer will see them. It balances cleanly with the cell dead. Live, the dry kick finds a sloppy wrist immediately. Human, Karthun, and smaller crews can order shaft sections and grip diameters for the same price.
