Blue Beetle – The First Descendant

The newest of the .318 Magnum Round Scout Rifles, the Blue Beetle, was named for its unique appearance. Its brilliant look is due to its high pure gold content, which was used to increase the weapon’s resistance to electric voltage. In particular, the weapon includes an Arche Emitter, which is the culmination of Albion’s newest technologies. Descendants can use their Arche to draw forth the weapon’s special function: a unique ability useful for both attack and defense. This phenomenon occurs when the device’s high voltage and blue energy waves work together with the Descendant’s Arche to emit energy. Magisters are hard at work to apply this technology to many other areas as well.
