Flames of the Sun-BladeOne particular that was discovered by Etroa in regards to the Sunseeds is that they react extremely to alcohol. There was one time where a Sunseed ended up dropped in a barrel of particularly alcoholic beer burnt down a good section of the forest. Past that point, it was mostly toyed with and found that more alcoholic drinks reacted better. That is, in most towns, a splash of alcohol on wood is used with a Sunseed to jump-start fire for cooking.
However, Ofal is pushing into the lands with iron armor for all their troops, along with using their boats to push us. Why they have so much iron is questionable, and while the armor may be low quality it still turns aside our spears and swords most times. So we turned toward experimenting with using alcohol to transfer the mighty power of the sun unto our foes.
To do this, we took a Sunseed and cut it to serve as the end of a hilt. The center of the hilt, meanwhile, was comprised of 6 rectangular tubes made of copper, wrapped together with leather and sealed. And on the bottom of the hilt was a long leather bag filled with alcohol, with a lid for unscrewing to fill again near the hilt.
By using two hands, the warrior could squeeze the bag as they swung, forcing the alchohol out the blade at high speed. This alcohol would instantly ignite as it touched the Sunseed, becoming a blade of pure flame. This flame, when touching something solid would instantly melt it. And if more force was used to squeeze the bag, it would actually cut straight through everything, with the solid object ceasing to exist where it cut.
It is a weapon that requires quite a bit of skill to wield. However, the fact is that the flame has a reach of up to 10 meters when swung. This weapon can only really show it's ability when swung, as that is when the Sunseed's power best shows itself, when concentrated along a line.
It can and was however used to cut doors in solid walls, as well as to set fire to ships and cities. Moreover, it is safe for a skilled wielder, despite the heat of the flame. A few droplets can't melt through leather, though they will cause burns. But the flame is always directed away from the user, and last but a second before the alcohol burns away from the main body of the flame-sword's strike.
