Given our enhanced background gear, I'm thinking he has upgraded Ashigaru armour of some kind .. maybe even the 5 dot one if I want to be nasty ;)<br/><br/>I'm looking at the Dragon Sigh Wand, which specifically can be used with the Righteous Devil style. I don't think it has officially been updated to 2nd ed, but the wiki has the following stats for it.<br/><br/>Weapon Name    Speed    Accuracy    Damage    Range    Rate    Weapon Tags<br/>Dragon Sigh Wand      6             +1            10L              50              1               2, F, P<br/><br/>And the 1st ed write up<br/><br/>DRAGON SIGH WAND (ARTIFACT ••)<br/>Carved from red jade in the likeness of an openmouthed dragon and inlaid with a fine tracing of orichalcum, these two-foot-long artifact firewands do not require ammunition. Instead, the jade conducts the user’s Essence through an array of crystal lenses in the throat of the barrel, unleashing a torrent of scarlet flame from the mouth. Attuning to a Dragon Sigh Wand costs 5 motes, and the devices are specifically designed to resonate with all magical beings in spite of their predominantly jade construction. Owing to this universal design, the weapons also do not receive the usual Magical Material bonus for jade weapons. Attuned users need only point the wands in the direction of their enemies and spend 2 motes per blast. Ruby capacitors in the device store up to 12 motes that the bearer can use as an alternate power source for blasts. Recharging these artifacts requires touch and a simple action costing 2 motes per mote restored. In addition to their other limitations, dragon sigh wands require adjustment of their delicate lenses after every scene in which they are fired. Failure to perform such maintenance can result in a misfire or even a catastrophic explosion. Aligning the crystals requires five minutes of undisturbed work and a successful Intelligence + Craft (First Age Weapons) roll at difficulty 3.<br/><br/>For every five additional minutes spent adjusting the lenses, the player adds an extra die to this roll (to a maximum of three bonus dice). Each failed or missed<br/>maintenance roll cumulatively adds 1 to the difficulty and Essence cost of attacks made with the poorly aligned weapon, until the third successive failure or missed repair imposes the effects of a botch. On a botch, the weapon becomes extremely unstable. If fired, the wand does not produce a stream of flame, but instead, unleashes a spherical conflagration inflicting the weapon’s normal damage on everything within two yards (including the user). The weapon itself remains unharmed by the explosion.<br/><br/>Repairing a botched alignment takes an hour of undisturbed work and increases the difficulty of the maintenance roll to 5. Fortunately, any further failures or botched repair rolls do not make the weapon more dangerous. A successful repair roll keeps a dragon sigh wand functioning normally or repairs the effects of any previously failed or missed maintenance rolls.<br/><br/>Smaller foot-long versions of this weapon type exist, also rated Artifact •• for a single wand or Artifact ••• for set of two. These models cost 4 motes to attune, 6 motes for a matched pair, and only store 8 motes in their ruby capacitors per wand. These variants trade a slightly reduced damage for an effectively doubled rate when used as a pair. Dragon sigh wands of either size are permitted as style weapons by Righteous Devil martial arts.<br/><br/><br/>There is also a fan made item called the Essence Bolt Repeater, which are a pair of large calibre pistols.
