after an angel blade has manifested as something other than the default spear, can it change its shape again? and can it take the shape of ranged weaponry like bows and guns, or is it always a melee weapon? are they always "basic" weapons or can they be higher developed, like crossbows and chainsaws (is there a limit to how far it can be?)? is the shape of the angel blade a concioius choice, or does it adapt to the owners mind?
1. Technically, yes, but it’s extremely difficult to do so (I’ve talked in other posts about how at the start of book 2 you’ll be able upgrade/unlock new weapon choices)
2. Angel Blades are meant to be melee, for the most part. If you need a ranged attack, that’s why you have Grace.
3. I take exception to ‘basic’ weapons (but that’s just me). They are weapons refined for killing up close and personal. An angel would laugh at the idea of using a chainsaw; they aren’t weapons intended for killing (a single blow could cause the chain to come off and then you’re nowhere). Crossbows and the like fall under ranged weapon, see number 2.
4. It’s a conscious choice, but seeing as combat and weapon preference are personal, you might as well say it’s adapted to the mind of their wielder. Additionally, once an angel establishes a weapon choice it become harder and harder to change the shape of the Angel Blade; their mind and Grace defaults to the form selected, instinct more that conscious action.
