Shark Scales [V7.2]

Material: Shark Scales
Rank/Value: A (Event)
Country Exclusive: --

Basic Appearance:

Backstory: Thanks to millions of years of evolution, sharks have developed many characteristics that aid them in their watery habitats. One of these evolutionary changes is scales, which cover the entirety of a shark's body and protect them from many things such as scratches from coral reefs, ocean litter, and even other marine life. Due to the lightweight and malleable characteristics of these scales, many armor and weapon crafters seek them out to enhance their creations.

As this is an event-exclusive augmentation material, it can only be acquired by completing the event-exclusive mission "Jaws".

Effect:
Bloodhunt: Should a character be damaged by equipment augmented with this item, or a technique channeled through it, they will be inflicted with the bleeding status unless properly defended. An appropriate medical technique such as Bloodletting, Perfect Body, and the use of the Bandages item can be used to overcome this ailment. A bleeding character will lose 2 AP per 1 meter of distance that their body moves for 2 posts or until healed. Bleeding can be reapplied with successive contact but will only extend the duration by resetting it to 2 posts, and cannot stack AP loss. The equipment augmented with this material will also glow red within 15 meters of a bleeding target.

Return to Crafting Guidelines

A couple things, all minor and mostly wording;

First: just clarify that it will only work for techniques where the weapon is actually making contact with the person. So Bloodhunt couldn't be used on things like Sky Shredding Dragon.

Second: make it a 10 AP to 2 meters moved ratio

Lastly: remove the last line, that the wielder is immune to the effects of Bloodhunt. Since this is an augment, it's effects would be inherent to just that, and not the wielder.

Edits made:

Removed inherent self immunity


~~Requested second opinion on AP ratio and direct contact as opposed to covering ranged techniques as well

Approved.
