It is an accurate description of the device; the
peculiarities of corporeal languages are not the concerns of Revelations and
Development, and will not be unless the Seraphim Council chooses to receive
favorably the relevant outstanding petitions on the matter. Until such time as that might happen, those
suffering from bemusement should remember that such a subjective viewpoint is
entirely their own affair.
This weapon was designed specifically and
exclusively to be used against that category of Undead known as 'Vampires';
furthermore, preliminary surveys indicated that the weapon should also be
relatively easy to maintain, recharge and camouflage. None of these problems proved individually difficult, although
finding the right balance of practicality and versatility was somewhat
intricate; it is useful that human technological (note lower case) levels have
reached the point where most of the parts are off-the-shelf, as maintenance
remains a design issue. Please note
that the availability of the current design is solely at the explicit request
of the Commander of the Host; direct all feedback on this specific and
non-binding change to long-standing Revelations and Development policy to the
appropriate officials of the Sword.
The device itself is better described as a ranged
metaphorical capacitor; it collects solar energy, which is then symbolically
refined until it becomes the 'Platonic Form' (to use the colloquialism) of
sunlight; this energy can be directed at a 'Vampire' as desired. The weapon has no effect on those without
the appropriate Vulnerability Discord; however, with the correct external
wiring it can be used to illuminate targets at night. Recharging the item requires 10 hours of uninterrupted sunlight
at temperate latitudes. Please note
that the standard casing is extraneous to the Sunshine Magna Ray's
operation. It is designed to resemble a
children's toy 'zap gun' solely at the explicit request of the Archangel of
Judgement; direct all feedback on this specific and non-binding change to
long-standing Revelations and Development policy to the appropriate officials
of the Inquisition.
Revelations and Development, of course, fully
guarantees that the Sunshine Magna-Ray will work as specified, provided that it
is used in accordance with its design specifications. It is not optimal, of course, to have to give such a warning, but
not inefficient; an unacceptably high percentage of angels are prone to operate
valuable Lightning Tech equipment without familiarizing themselves with the
appropriate technical manuals. Please
note that all complaints regarding the policy of requiring Servitors of War and
the Wind to fill out the standard form indicating that they have read and
understood the training manuals, the standard form indicating that they have
filled out the first form and the standard form indicating that they accept all
responsibility for adverse effects rising from ignoring the training manuals
will be destroyed unread. Direct all
feedback on this general and explicit affirmation of long-standing Revelations
and Development policy to the appropriate officials of the Almighty.
