Bladeforged with Displacement, an Epic Cloak of Ice for blue-flames, Energy Sheath for an electrical aura, permanent Tenser’s on for holographic armor and tentacles, Bladeforged spikes sticking out everywhere, and a purple-and-pink greatsword which looks more like a Unicorn Frappuccino of Nightmares than a threatening weapon. Once he got to Epics, the result was a complete sparkle-fest.
