Aeterna was thought up because she felt that this would be her weapon for all of eternity.Talk about magic in the Great Smoky Mountains! Anakeesta - a family-friendly, award-winning adventure park with fun attractions, mountaintop shops, Southern eateries, and seasonal events in the City of Gatlinburg, Tennessee - is expanding with Lumina Enchanted Night Walks in fall 2022. The first time she saw the explosion she noticed the moonlight glow in it so she thought of Lumina when she saw it.

Vesta originally named it Aeterna Lumina because of the explosion caused by the mix of Dust.

Aeterna means Eternal while Lumina means Moonlight. In a literal translation of it you would get 'Eternal Moonlight'. This flaw can be used like a double edged sword. They can use it to help fight or try to move it around faster or even propel yourself in the air. This can either hurt the user or help them. This in turn launches the user in the opposite direction of where the blade is facing. It would try to coat the blade like the other types of dust but due to the unstable mix instead of coating the blade it would just explode.

If the cartridge isn't completely used up before you put the next one in you can create an unbalance mix which explodes. There is one flaw though which Vesta can actually use to her advantage. This coats the blade in a sharp ice which can be used to cut through almost anything and shoot shards of ice when swung.Īs the Dust is used up more and more the gem's color begins to fade going back to the silver color it was before.

Blue - The second cartridge that uses dust.

This coats the blade in a flame which can be used to hurl blades of fire at people within a certain distance or many other ways.

Red - The first cartridge that uses dust.

This is just used to make sure nothing gets into the chamber and blocks it off when not in use.

Silver - The basic cartridge that uses no Dust causing no changes.

The abilities these elements can use can change depending on what form the blade is in as well. The color of cartridges widely changes the abilities that it can use. This allows the blade to have one of the two current types of elements it can use. The dust then changes the colour of the gem showing what it currently has. The second is when you insert a dust cartridge. The dust in the carrtidge then flows into the gem in the middle of the hilt. Piercing is the last form where the guard goes into the hilt and the blade it self can extend outward giving you more reach and more piercing attacks. Offense is the second form where the guard goes up the hilt to be next to the blade giving you more variety of slashing attacks. Defense is the basic form where the guards are out at the side of the hilt being able to cover her hands. It has three forms, Defense, Offense and Piercing. The first is when you pull the trigger. The trigger changes the form the blade is in. It can explode if there is a mix of dust in it. There is a flaw within the weapon though. Its best function would be the cartridge-gem system allowing Vesta to conjure the elements to attack. It isn't heavy so Vesta can easily and gracefully swing it. The blade itself is wide yet it is not really thick. It has the Defensive form, Offensive form and Piercing form. It can also be used to switch how the blade is shaped.

The first it can do is use dust. The main types of Dust which are used vary from Red, Blue. It has four ways of how it can be used which changes the capabilities of Aeterna Lumina. The gem changes color when you insert Dust into the chamber at the bottom of the handle. The hilt is made up of a gem which shows the Dust that is currently being used.

It is a Crystal Trigger Dust Blade (CTDB) - A weapon that works like a sword and uses the power of Dust to conjure the elements.Īeterna Lumina is an average sized sword with the main part of the blade being purple.

Aeterna Lumina is Vesta's custom made weapon.
