Weapon Name:Niflheim
Weapon Type: Variable
Weapon Location: Strapped to back
Weapon Height: Chakram 3 Foot Radius Circumference. Length 9 Feet in Total 6 Foot Shaft.
Weapon Weight: 19 lbs

Definitive Strength:
A variety of style can be alternated with the weapon providing unpredictability. The sharpness of the weapon is razor like. The weapons weight on impact from sheer momentum can cause an individual to buckle beneath it. The blade's edge has no trouble even when it comes to cutting rocks or trees but will struggle when competing with harder metallic objects.

Definitive Weakness:
Susceptible to Jinton manipulation if not wielded as all weaponry. However, a Jinton user can detach the blade. In which case an expenditure of C-rank chakra for the Jinton user is required if the user attempts to beckon the blade back to himself.

The weapon is large and unwieldy, it requires a significant amount of strength to use properly. In addition the act of swinging the weapon itself is slow but produces devastating results.

Description: Niflheim is a unique weapon that consists of the shaft of staff unified with the circular head of an over sized chakram. Unlike a chakram however, there is no safe edge for the blade itself to be wielded instead the shaft serves this purpose ultimately making the weapon appear to be a staff of sorts. Both the inner edges and outer edges of the Chakram are sharpened edges. Just below the base of the Chakrams blade are two pedestals large enough for one to place their feet. Along the shaft are multiple push triggers that respond to both pressure and the users chakra.

Ability Summary:

• First Trigger: Jigokucho 地獄著 [Rough:Hellish Maw] [Literal: Hell Author]
Upon pushing a corresponding button on the staffs shaft the circular form of the blade bisects into two halves. As the edges detach. What could be considered a form of bident is produced. The weapon is then treated as such for corresponding styles. When the button is pushed again the bisecting halves reunite. This combination proves especially deadly if it encloses around an opponent. A simple pulling back of the weapon could mean their untimely end as they become cut cleanly in half.

•Second Trigger:Ji Rendo 字 練度 [Rough:Earth Rend] [Literal: Chinese Proficiency]
Turning the weapon upside down and digging the blade's edge into the earth the user can stand on the two pedestals near the weapons base. Upon pushing a corresponding button on the staffs shaft the circular blade begins to spin rapidly as if a wheel this can be used for mobility purposes and if the situation calls for it can be weaponized acting the equivalent of a buzzsaw. This rotation is not limited to solely vertically. The blade acts as if on a pivot and can rotate gyroscopically. The blade can travel up to 45 Mph without struggles, 60mph will cause instability making turning impossible, anything above 70mph will cause the blade to detach potentially injuring it's rider.

•Third Trigger: Tsukimau つき舞う [Rough:Moon Flutter] [Literal: Moon Month]
Upon pushing a corresponding button on the staffs shaft the circular blade detaches itself from the staff as it it can then be sent hurdling in whirr of death. Slamming the staff down or swinging it with beckoning gesture whilst also expending a C-rank worth of Chakra causes the blade to return to the tip of the shaft. If the blades return flight is interrupted the same actions must be performed again to incur another return flight. If the blade and shaft are within one foot of each other the chakra expenditure is not required and the blade immediately re-attaches.

•Fourth Trigger:Tenhōyō 天の抱擁 [Rough:Heavenly Embrace] [Literal: 'Gibberish']
Upon pushing a corresponding button on the staffs shaft the end of the shaft detaches and begins to unravel an up to twelve foot long chain. The chain effectively increases the range of the weapon from 9 feet + reach to 21 Feet If the weapon is thrown. If thrown the weapon will have to be pulled back via the user's strength alone. The chain itself is sturdy and can be used to bind opponents or swung. The Weapon can thusly synchronize the the Kusari-gama styles. If the chain binds an individual the same button can be pushed to retract the chain tightening the restriction. It goes without saying if the staff is in hand this button can be pressed to return the chain back into the shaft.

•Fifth Trigger:Yūhi 夕日 [Rough:Setting Sun] [Literal:Sunset]
Upon pushing a corresponding button on the staffs shaft the blades bi-sect not unlike Hellish Maw. They then move in horizontally overlapping and becoming a twin edged glaive or halberd. It can then be used with the corresponding styles. A transition from Setting sun or to setting sun requires a period of two activations unless the transition is from Setting Sun to Hellish Maw in which case it consumes one. Attacks in second sun are treated as one strength descriptor higher than usual.
