Weapon:Massive agonite estoc with an empty socket within its crossguard

massive agonite estoc with an empty socket within its crossguard
Look:	The geometry of this blade leaves almost no slicing capability but is extremely long with a dangerously keen point. The metal of the weapon is a dark ebon hue, with a flame-like pattern of steely grey fingers visible from its tip down to the cross-section. An elaborate crossguard is cleverly crafted with small hinges near its center, allowing it to display a single gem. An empty gem setting mars the estoc's appearance slightly.
