(Upgrade) Dwarven Hand-Pick (requires Physical Proficiency) - 600 OM
After being successfully recruited into the Dwarven Military, Ballad was offered a choice to choose a piece of Ceremonial Dwarven Weaponry to aid him in his coming missions with the Dwarven Military. Instead of choosing one directly, however, he had them remake his pickaxe into something more... special. More deadly, and something he can more easily rely on in a fight.
Once a three foot long piece of wood, where at the tip of the wood are the pieces of metal that lay perpendicular to the wood, one piece pointed, the other blunt, it now contains a mechanism that, at the press of a button, can switch between two "modes" in a total of around three seconds. They are nicknamed "One-Handed," and "Two-Handed."
In One-Handed Mode, the pickaxe is only about one foot or so in length, easily held in the palm of a hand. While lacking in the raw power that Two-Handed Mode allows as well as its range, it is much faster to both equip (a total of only two seconds,) and attack with (one second.) He is also able to duel-wield the pickaxe with another weapon in his arsenal while in this mode.
When in Two-Handed Mode, Ballad often has the Pickaxe on his back, slung by two straps that he slides off when he needs to use it. Due to the increased weight, it takes about four seconds to swing. Due to the straps, it takes around four seconds to equip it as well. He also cannot use any other weapons while using the Pickaxe in Two-Handed Mode. To make up for the mode's lack of speed, the weapon is very damaging, doing more severe damage the less resilient the enemy. The Two-Handed Pickaxe also makes oncoming attacks much easier to deflect, and its length (around three feet) increases its range as well.
