This Ranged Weapon may be used as a Melee Weapon in a Strike Action using the model's Fight Attribute rather than using Aim. If used as a Melee Weapon, then for the remainder of the turn the weapon has a Melee range of 2' and when used in a Strike Action it suffers a -3 penalty to the Fight Check.

After resolving one or more succesful hits on the target unit with this weapon, resolve a further single automatic hit on the same unit. You may only gain a single additional hit from this weapon in each Action.

This type of weapon uses the Blast template when determining hits, centred on the Initial Target If the model fails their Aim Check when using this weapon, it is assumed the shot is a dud and has failed to detonate. Should any model be successfully hit by the weapon then any models touched by the template are automatically hit. When used in a Free Shoot Action, a Blast weapon does not use the template and instead causes d5 hits on the target (with a maximum of one hit per model).

The weapon acts as a homing device for friendly models in reserve. Should the weapon hit an enemy unit, then any friendly unit held in Reserve gains +1 to their Reserves Checks. A unit successfully using this bonus must deploy as close as possible to the targeted enemy unit.

During any Focused Combat Action this unit may give all Attuned weapons it carries a Piercing equal to half the wielding model's Mind Attribute. Example: legendary Walks Looking has a Mind Attribute of 7. She spends an Action point to make her Strike Action Focused,giving her Spirit Blades a Piercing of -4 (half of her Mind attribute).

Each hit from a weapon with this quality may gain one of the following additional qualities for the duration of that hit: Brutal, Disrupt, Shred or Stun.
