Shuldt Arcanarms

Designed in 634 by Miriam Leland Shuldt , the Arcanarms would later be adopter by Miriams company, The South Hatoian Weapons Company and become the Companies newly minted Shuldt Arcanarms line. 
The Shuldt Long rifle and the Shuldt Handgun are the two most popular of the line, given the price and specific qualifications required to construct the weapons these two were seen as being the most "economically efficient".  Unfortunately material prices drove the weapons into only the hands of the Arcanists, Pere, and Nobility throughout the Empire. 
The "magical" energy required to properly use the weapons was far more severe than any other SHWC or Shuldt weapon made before, and resulted in the usage being taken up by a majority of strange casters. Attempts to rework the inner functions and required energy resulted in new lines dependent on the Heater Crystals and other arcane specific materials. These allowed the more common soldier and knight to wield one, but the materials were even more costly than before and created the exact same situation created during its first introduction.

Significance

Similar to a sword and its effect of granting power, the Shuldt weapons granted arcanists and archers alike the ability to strike a foe with far more security and accuracy than ever before. Having the Shuldt Handgun created a safer arcanist and Pere, and nobility would wear them to represent their wealth and significance in the local society.
