The Colorwhip

Other Appearances: "Crisis" & "All The King's Horses" Part I by Joshua "Flicker" Schwartz, "The Agony Of Memory" by Amanda A. Hilliard "Shadowstar," and "All The King's Horses" Part II: "Crossover" Joshua "Flicker" Schwartz and Amanda A. Hilliard "Shadowstar"

The Colorwhip was created by Flicker during a Talency contest among the Children of Oberon. Since then, it has become Flicker's primary weapon, having been used by him in a number of battles.

Just like its creator, Flicker, the Colorwhip is composed of "hard light." As such, he can craft it seemingly from out of the air, just by using available light. The Colorwhip can be used as a normal whip is, and that is how Flicker typically utilizes it. However, the Colorwhip itself has many magical properties, each accessible to Flicker as a different color. Some of these color-linked properties are activated by a keyword. The color-linked abilities and corresponding keywords are:

• Red: When he yells "RedSurge," the whip ignites on fire, making it a "scorching lasso of pain."
• Orange: In "OrangeSlash," the whip is transformed into a fluid, cutting "laser sword" of orange fire, which can cut through anything without resistance. However, Flicker doesn't like using this power, because it can easily get out of hand.
• Gold: Upon the uttering of "GoldSun," he coils up his whip and gathers a ball of golden, crackling energy in the center, like a small sun, that he launches.
• Green: When Flicker yells "GreenShield" and rotates the whip in front of him, it lights up with green fire that absorbs incoming projectiles, bullets, and the like.
• Blue: Heals wounds.
• Violet: With "VioletRay," a blast of ultraviolet radiation is sent from the tip of the whip towards his foe.
• White: When he yells "WhiteHeat" and snaps the whip, a quick surge of white-hot light snaps out at his enemy.
• Grey: If he snags his opponent's arm with his whip, one yell of "GreyDrain" will cause him to leech energy from the opponent and channel it into the whip with grey tendrils of power.
• Black: With "BlackHole," he holds the tail of the whip to the handle, like a big hole, and a cloud of black matter forms around the target, crushing it like the high gravity of its namesake.
• Clear: With "ClearLight," he spins the whip about himself to bend light rays away from himself, making him invisible.
• All colors: With "FullSpectrum," he holds the whip taut in his hands, and bands of color peel off of it and fly straight into the eyes of an opponent, overloading their vision. It is a very painful attack.
