So 300 twice for the ranged grapple? Whether its hooking people or objects, it only does one thing, and that's hook. Not bucking on the price, but 300 to do the same thing to two different things is saying a guy with an axe would have to pay for it as a weapon and to cut down trees, even though its still just cutting two things.
Hook Gauntlet:
Req; Ranged, Melee
1H Shield Manifest
Though this spell creates a gauntlet, it is "classified" as a shield for durability and manifestation process. Refer to the Shield Mechanics section that follows. The Manifestation time is five seconds, requires mild concentration. Upon completion the gauntlet extends up from the closed fist to the elbow. This span can be used defensively, as if it were an actual armored gauntlet. The hook is reminiscent of a pirate hook, and from the center point of the curvature is 8 centimeters in radius.
From the fist of the gauntlet extends a large hook that can rotate to various angles at will. The hook is blunted and deals minor bludgeoning damage. Its primary use is for its grappling capability. It can be used to trip enemies, grab tree branches and swing, et cetera. The hook can move at 20 meters per second (high speed punch.)
The hook can extend on an Energy Stream (see details in the Shield Mechanics section) that extends up to five meters. Stein controls the hook at this range much like a whip, requiring more focus to accurately wield it. The hook can be retracted with high strength, either pulling an object lighter than Stein, or pulling Stein to the object. This can be fatiguing with repetitive uses, especially if used in conjunction with other spells. If weighted by more than half of Stein's weight, the withdraw speed drops to 10 meters per second to maintain its strength.
