TRACE Weapon

A TRACE Weapon is a unique type of weapon created by members of the Tracer Order and the Nameless upon completing the Soulbinding Ritual. TRACE Weapons are perhaps the strongest type of weapon in the game (alongside ALTER Weapons), possessing top tier damage numbers, being capable of destroying more mundane weapons upon striking them in close combat while being unbreakable themselves, casting a light which protects its wielder from the negative effects of being in The Shattered World, and bestowing a custom skill to its wielder while equipped.

Upon achieving the rank of Adept within the Tracer Order, a character may purchase the 'Soulbinding Ritual' skill node from the Tracer Arts tree and undergo the eponymous ritual within the Tracer HQ by entering the Soulbinding Chamber. Within the chamber, the character will face a reflection of their inner darkness in combat. Upon triumphing over this reflection, the character will be removed from the Soulbinding Chamber and guided through the creation process for their TRACE Weapon.

For a Nameless character, they instead must purchase the 'Rite of Erasure' node from the Nameless Arts tree instead and overcome their respective trial in the Nameless HQ.

Once the creation process has begun, the character will be prompted to choose the name, description, glow colour, summon effect, and what category of TRACE weapon they wish to create. TRACE Weapons can be any type of weapon with an associated skill tree with the exception of all firearms (handguns, handcannons, assault rifles, shotguns, and sniper rifles) and nunchucks.

After this, the character will then be prompted to choose what type of custom skill they desire from the following choices: Melee, Projectile, Rush, AoE, Block, Buff, Debuff, Passive. After choosing the type, they will then be prompted to give the skill a name and description as well.
