Six Shooter Revolver
A blunt-force answer for people who don’t practice destructive magic or who don’t want to risk messing it up. The Six Shooter Revolver fires enchanted metal bullets that strike like a focused magical ray. No incantations. No mana. Just six quick shots and most problems get solved. Dual wield it for double the trouble.

Mechanics & Inner Workings
To load: place a bullet into an empty chamber and close the drum; the chamber locks in place.
Firing: pull the trigger. The action pulls the drum back, aligning the next chamber. A spring-driven striker hits the rear of the cartridge, producing a spark that ignites a tiny charge. The result: the bullet is propelled through the barrel and strikes with the force of a simple magical ray.
No verbal components, gestures, or mana cost are required the weapon’s cartridges contain the ignition and the power.
Each revolver holds six shots before needing to be reloaded.
