Phial Weapons

Phial Weapons
A magitech melee weapon typically has three installed phials to utilize Saether. You must be proficient with a weapon to use it phial abilities. Different weapons are able to equip different numbers of phials depending on their qualities as noted below.
Heavy. This weapon has an additional phial
Light. This weapon has one less phial
Two-Handed. This weapon has an additional phial
These qualities are cumulative so a light two-handed weapon would have 3 phials and a heavy, two-handed weapon would have 5 phials.
Phials are Uncharged but, while wielding a Phial Weapon, you gain additional actions you can take to Charge the phials. Different phials allow for different actions to be taken utilizing them and these actions will typically require you to Discharge them. This can only be done with a phial in the Charged state and changes their state to Uncharged. A Charged phial becomes Uncharged after one minute. A weapons phials can be changed out as part of a short or long rest as part of regular weapon maintenance.

Elemental Boost. Before you make a melee attack with this weapon, Discharge any number of phials. Your attack deals +1 damage per phial you Discharge, the attack gains the elemental damage type of the same type as one of your Elemental Phials and your weapon is considered magical for purposes of overcoming damage resistance.

This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks. If the target is knocked into another creature or a solid object, the target and creature or solid object suffer 1d6 bludgeoning damage, + 1d6 for every 5 feet the target would have continued past the barrier.
