No-Fish the Red Discus

[Nuala Byrne]

Name: No-Fish the Red Discus
Description: Version 4. Each "No-Fish" is born with specific chakras across their body in overdrive, allowing them to collect and focus spiritual energy into destructive bursts. An unusually on-point mutation of the typical red velvet discus fish, No-Fish is notable for the mask-like bone white portion of scales that covers his face, the intense crimson coloration that covers the rest of his body (save for his practically invisible tail), and his unusual size for the strain. Easily more than 5 inches (13cm) in length, No-Fish utterly dwarfs other red velvet discus fish. His eyes, like other fish of the strain, are blood red with black pupils.
Type of Item: Weapon & Pet
Class: 1
Item Power (IP): 800
Offense Type: Spiritual
Durability: 1500
Bonuses: No-Fish can charge a powerful blast of red energy by channeling his user's reiatsu. He can deliver two different blasts. The first blast is a large beam of crimson reiatsu which is extremely hot and costs 250 Reiatsu. The second is a max-power blast, with 150% of the No-Fish's normal Offensive Strength and 100 less Speed, but which also prevents him from firing more blasts for one post and costs 600 Reiatsu. When using the max-power blast, a No-Fish suffers a 200-point penalty to Item Power and suffers 300 Durability damage from the overheating of its chakras.

A No-Fish floats within 10 feet of his bearer, anchored to their orbit. He moves when and where they move, otherwise moving at a speed of 300, within the confines of this area. The discus fish can be detached from his bearer for free, whereupon he will fly within about 40 feet of the location he was deposited in. Additionally, a No-Fish can be attached to a new bearer at the cost of 250 reiatsu, if he is not in the possession of a current bearer.
Drawbacks: The No-Fish requires combined spiritual and energy sensory stats of at least 800 to attach to one's self. To wield a No-Fish, a character's Reiatsu Strength, Spiritual Pressure and Energy Sensory must all be at least 200. (Meaning that 300 RS + 300 SPPR + 200 ES is sufficient to attach the fish, in addition to other stat totals that reach the same threshold, if none of them are lower than 25% of the requisite.)
Costs: 22,000 Ryo
Crafting: Crafting 3
Donated to Urahara: No

I'm very, very uncomfortable with the idea of an item that can exceed most Captains in raw power. At 1500 durability, and 1000 IP with the ability to boost that to 1500 IP-- even at a cost, I think that's a little bit too potent. I would suggest either outright removing the ability to fire an amped up blast, or cut the base IP down to 800.

Additionally, for a weapon this powerful, I also feel 22,000 is a little bit cheap. The power/durability alone, based on Kitai Shop items, would put it around 25,000 even without accounting for it having two modes of fire.

If you cut the 50% boost entirely, I'd suggest a 25,000 Ryo cost; if you want to keep it in while lowering the power, the added versatility should raise the cost to about 30,000.

The No-Fish requires combined spiritual stats and energy sensory of at least 800 to attach to one's self.

Just to clarify is that "Combined spirit stats of 800, and also ES of 800" (So 400RS+400SPPR, and 800 ES) or "Combined spirit stats and ES of 800" (So 400 RS + 400 SPPR + 0 ES?)

Lastly, I'd inquire on the Fish's speed? Or is this literally meant to be wielded like a big rifle?

[Nuala Byrne]

Oh hey! Thanks for the questions, Col. I did forget to include No-Fish's speed, so I'll edit that in. I would like to keep the cost of a No-Fish limited to 22,000 Ryo, so how about if I lower the IP of the fish + remove the max power blast, but give it 1 point of Blast Mastery as a skill? Alternatively, lower the overall power of the fish to 800, but have the max-power blast injure the No-Fish by a margin of 200 Item Power and 300 Durability in addition to its normal drawbacks?

Also, it's the final clause on required stats, no comma is intentional. (300 RS + 300 SPPR + 200 ES) will let someone wield a No-Fish.

[Col Arana]

I'd be fine with your proposed changes.

I would, however, ask then that for the required stats, I think that, given the propensity of ES being made a dump stat, I'd like to ask that none of the "requisite stats" can be less than 25% of the total value (so your 300+300+200 would be fine, but 400+400+0 would not be).

Other than that, I'm fine with this.

[Nuala Byrne]

Alright, I've got those taken care of! Thanks for your help, Col!

I shall be grader #2!

Honestly, after the changes made for Col, I'm happy to give my 2/2!
