Design Notes: Hand cannon looks like a kit-bashed device (similar to the mote banks in gambit) with glass repositories containing flowing darkness and glints of egregore tendrils within. Story behind the weapon being that it is the amalgamation of the Drifter’s holding of Darkness energy from Gambit into the Haul. In technicality, it is closer to a Weapon of Sorrow in its design and has the possibility of being “tethered” to a being to make them immortal (like Oryx in the Touch of Malice or Xol in Whisper of the Worm), it is an insurance policy for the Drifter as a means of survival.
