Description
A rod and a one-handed axe are the most common combination for the shears of winter. They are usually made from metal taken from the same mine, and then the hilt and the shaft of the implement worked with dragonbone. Many wielders make a point of keeping a small amount of shattered tempest jade on hand to keep their weapon and implement smoothed, polished or sharpened as appropriate.
When using this pair of arcane items, the magician-warrior usually touches the pair together, drawing destructive magic out of the weapon and then unleashing using the rod (or more rarely, wand). They are equally adept at blasting shields to splinters or ripping even magical weapons into shards, occasionally with a thunderous detonation.
Their common name arises because the weapon and implement are often marked with the rune Yoorn, sometimes called the Shears, which symbolises ending.
