#fantasy object

Finally getting to the part of my worldbuilding where I explore the concept of war-objects. Since weight distribution and material composition are important in my setting, I need to find ways to show how these affect how objects function. Like these flying polearms, they need a way to balance themselves in flight.

Thus, the primary and secondary wings. Primary powers flight, secondary helps with balance. Also, while I wrote that the brand is decorative, it's actually a counterweight and a weapon (depending on its shape).

For the war-torch, they use fire magic to turn their bristles into flames, temporarily. Fire magic uses a lot of energy, so to help offset this, fuel is often used. Fuel is also used to power flight for all flying polearms.

Quick note on war-objects:

All war-objects are refits, objects remade and modified for war and combat. It's highly rare for a natural war-object, or living weapons, to exist in the Mundane Realm. There were living weapons, but they all died out during the Relic wars thousands of years ago.

So in the setting of my world building, living objects usually have a core (body) and ichor structure (external limbs like arms and legs). Some objects, like the plant elementals here, have a core but no external limbs. So instead, they have customizable external parts called chassis to house and protect their core.

Basically plant mechs!
