I see you're having a good run. That usually means an interesting death.

Don't worry about the problems, if you're willing to address them then yes, I don't see a reason why you can't go somewhere with this. I'm not trying to cut you down, but someone has to ask the hard questions.

I'm not sure liquids on items can be repurposed for the kind of solid material coating you're thinking of, but if you think you can pull it off, all the more power to you! Something similar has been proposed in the past incidentally, regarding armor. I don't know if it actually got added though. If it did, you might be able to extend that to weapons.

I'm not proposing just different weapons here, I'm proposing introducing a new type that allows for weapons of different lengths without the need to change to another type. Things like a claymore or gladius would fall under long swords and short swords respectively. If the silverised blade forces you to switch training halfway through, people just aren't going to use it, or focus on long swords then use it when it gets longer. Which means the early stages will get neglected, which I don't think you'd want.

Yes, but who is the requester here? Is Petrus wanting you to nab the weapon for Valpurus, does Decos send you to a temple of Mellis instead, what is the story here? At least with the shirt of the golden eagle you can put it on to take on Attnam, what can you do with the completed silverised blade? Do you pick a god to try and return it to and the other sends their forces to take it from you?

Point still stands, silver is heavy, and as it grows longer so does the weapon, leaving you with one unwieldy weapon you'll probably have to two-hand. Not to mention if it starts short and ends up long, you'll end up having to switch your weapon training halfway, which is another minus. Which is why I suggested stilettos and rapiers, there may be a difference in length but the way they're used is the same, which is not the same as short/long swords. Anyway, there's no reason we can't just make the silverised blade an artifact of the new weapon type. Besides that, do we even have a mechanic for material coating on weapons?

I see the inspiration taken from Sherry, but a long, heavy weapon just isn't going to have the accuracy to hit limbs. That ability to turn limbs to silver will become an irrelevant gimmick you'll hardly see. Whereas extending it to any body part will be far more noticeable in-play. Sure, an elder dark mage turned into a silver golem works in your favour, but that's only if you hit every body part. An elder dark mage with a silver torso for a massive health boost? Big threat.

It needs some work, but I don't see why not.

Firstly though, why pray to Loricatus when it's a Mellis quest? Isn't Mellis more likely to want the sword for himself? Assuming what you want is a full length quest, what are you supposed to do with the completed weapon? Do you not get a chance to use it?

On a mechanical point, the longer the weapon gets, the less appealing it is to use it. Silver is heavy. Rather than existing weapon types, you want something unique. Stiletto, rapier, etc.

As far as changing the hit body part to silver goes, why just limbs? Why not risk making a silver golem out of the enemy?

So you're looking at this as a main quest in place of the others? Or a smaller series of mini-quests where you fight bosses one after another?

He must have eaten something that makes him polymorph.
