We know that Thorn, Necrochasm, Touch of Malice and Bad juju (Still under a bit of speculation but it seems to be a Weapon of Sorrow) are Weapons of sorrow. I've been wondering for quite sometime if Black spindle is also a weapon of sorrow.
[b]Weapons of Sorrow are guardian weapons that have been altered by Hive sorcery. [/b]
Black spindle was at one point most likely a normal sniper and was altered by the Hive or forbidden use of hive sorcery (meaning a guardian who used Hive sorcery on the weapon).
We should also take note of the Weapon's flavor text.
[i]“Your only existence shall be that which I weave for you out of [b]sorrow[/b] and woe.”[/i]
So what do the rest of you think? Is it a weapon of sorrow? I'm leaning towards a yes but I could be wrong.

Edited by Moot: 10/8/2016 5:18:19 PMSeems likely, but I don't think it is. A weapon of sorrow has to be owned by a guardian and have an insatiable hunger for the light, and the three weapons we know of are all stated at some point (either during quests or in the Grim) to have thins hunger. Black spindle however, does not. Truthfully we don't have enough lore on the spindle to be sure.
