Current story I'm working on has a witch that casts spells with a flintlock pistol, which I think is way cooler than a wand. Not to mention it's a classy weapon.
Some useful videos if you're thinking about using flintlock pistols in your story; first two specifically on reloading, last one on the general build and how it works.
Seriously, where is the sequel? I've got a prequel out making the rounds (with Native Americans and aliens), if that's any consolation. The six-shooter was a much better weapon as far as reload-time, but the flintlock was quite classy indeed. And a spell-casting one? Too cool.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Looking forward to reading the prequel.
DeleteYeah, it's a spell-casting pistol, but still has the same drawback of one cast per shot. Although I suppose the curse could split itself, halving its effect, but able to hit more than one target. But in the story, she only fights one guy at a time.
