Something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. Drawing weapons!
A bit different form my usual character designs but can’t have my fantasy adventurers go around without a trusty weapon now, right?
These are some weapon practice designs, the lore is based off of in game weapons from Wynncraft which is an MMORPG in Minecraft, so all the weapons are quite pixelated in-game.

Excerpts from "HISTORY AND FORME OF THEURGIC RELICS", a 1798 textbook detailing how magic (in technical: meur) is converted into a form usable by man.
This book was published during the Second Vesturian Civil War.
PAGE 213
Take for example the dragon, a once-plentiful creature. There are many intact skeletal remains of dragons below the ice of the Endless Wasteland. Northern Miners exhume these remains and separate out the pieces capable of generating magic (from here called "meurian artefacts").
The dragon in life generated red meur in its' chest cavity, summoning fire to burn its foes. The usable meurian artefacts are the thoracic vertebrae and ribs. These are sent southward to the Middle and Southern Kingdoms for processing.
A meurian artefact can be paired with an an Andimeur Synthesizer in a process aptly called "synthesis". The meur from the artefact then may be channeled in a way usable by humans.
These completed objects are called theurgic relics. Those with noble blood have the ability to handle and utilize theurgic relics for a variety of applications.
An ever-burning lamp is a common decorative relic among the elite - they are cheap to manufacture and require only the smallest artefacts to keep a brilliant flame.
FIG 11.a: Fossil remains of a dragon. Red meur can be detected in its' ribcage, where it used meur to generate fire as a defensive tactic.
FIG 11.b: Usable pieces extracted from the skeleton: "meurian artefacts".
FIG 12.a: A simple Andimeur Synthesizer, attached to a dragon's rib bone.
FIG 12.b: Early decorative ever-burning lamp of Southern Kingdom make, circa 1632.
PAGE 302
The most potent of artefacts, such as the thoracic vertebrae of the dragon, are best used in weaponry. Theurgic relics that are weapons are versatile. A skilled wielder of meur may just as easily heat a pan with their theurgic weapon as burn a foe.
FIG 30.a: A brass knuckle fashioned out of dragon vertebrae. A small and efficient Andimeur Synthesizer resides in the grip.
FIG 30.bcd: The red meur may be synthesized in many ways: projected fire, conductive heat, or ambient heat are just some of the ways it may be channeled.
PAGE 315
The greatest and most impressive theurgic weapons are made with the rarest of meurian animals. A principal examples is the unicorn staff, owned by the Andimeur family. It uses a horn from the exceedingly rare unicorn as a conductive weapon that can synthesize any meur type. There is only one known unicorn horn in existence.
FIG 30: An eclectic combination: a commoner’s weapon, the Duruger M1875, retrofitted into a black meur theurgic weapon using hare teeth.
FIG 31: The Andimeur's unicorn staff, pictured with sheath. It can be used as a walking cane when sheathed.
FIG 32: The Andimeur's other family theurgic weapon - the manticore rapier. The tail generates devastatingly hot red meur. The Andimeurs once kept and used manticores for hunting unicorns.
FIG 33: A scythe fashioned from the jawbone of a "demon", a green meur creature remembered for its habit of pilfering human corpses. This particular theurgic relic is utilized by famous Lieutenant General D'Angelo Barghur. Green meur can be dispersed into fields to boost crop yield, as well as used in combat to manipulate the earth, or cause weaponized overgrowth.

The cauldron can be an actual pot or cauldron, basin or brazier used specifically for ritual purposes.
The material may be copper, ceramic, cast iron, metal, earthenware, or any other fire-resistant material.
Various examples of cauldrons are found in folkloric tradition, such as the Cauldron of Ceridwen, the Cauldron of Dagda, the Pair Dadeni, the Cauldron of Dyrnwch the Giant, and the Cauldron of Hymir.
These cauldrons are often legendary objects used in myth to heal, regenerate or bestow abundance on heroes and gods.
The cauldron can be used also for the popular Samhein game of Apple bobbing or the apple peel divination, both used in the past as love divination rituals.

Jackie's blade, Woodwrath!
It's a semisentient blade, running on instinct and emotion, only able to speak few broken words into her mind when it absolutely needs to. The body of the blade, hilt, and handle are all carved from the same heartwood of a hybrid Irish Blackthorn from her homeland of the Tamaskan Isles hidden off the coast of Ireland! The blade edge and pommel are forged from the remnants of old weapons the Isles had left from human invaders centuries ago.
The tree itself was some sort of magical, and the blade continues this, acting as a magical funnel to cast some serious spells, but it wears the wielder down faster than normal casting. It's akin to Finn's Grass Sword in that its cursed to her, but she doesn't mind it much these days!

The cup can be made of various materials including glass, metal, horn, crystal, wood, porcelain and can be plain, colored or decorated with symbols or applications.
The shape of the chalice itself can vary from simple glass, cup, globet to more elaborate shapes.
The traditional form is that of the chalice used to hold wine.
In popular tradition the chalice is primarily associated with the symbol of the Holy Grail, a cup with miraculous healing powers, sometimes providing eternal youth or sustenance in infinite abundance.
