Nullray Pistol

Extra Info:
nullray pistol

The barrel of this 'pistol' is a small, transparent tube. Inside it you can see a small, twirling mote of purest blackness, pulsing with entrancing beauty and menace.

Perfect

The nullray pistol is a high tier pistol that may at first appear to have no function. It does not cause any damage or other effects.

Instead, the nullray pistol's sole purpose is to remove normality-inducing fields and effects. Currently, this includes only normality gas and normality fields.

Mechanics

When the nullray pistol's projectile passes through a cell with something that it can nullify, it will destroy that target and begin chaining to nearby cells. So, for example, if fired through a very large cloud of normality gas, the nullray pistol will destroy all of the gas along it's projectile's trajectory, and much of the gas in the surrounding area. Normality-inducing phenomena in the projectile's cell and immediately adjacent cells will be unerringly destroyed. The effect will continue chaining outward, with a 10% reduced chance to destroy normality-inducing phenomena for each tile further away from the nullray pistol's projectile.[1]

Sources of Normality Gas and Normality Fields

Player Death

If the player is somehow cancelled through this method, they will receive the message:[1]

You died.

You were cancelled from existence.

This can currently only be achieved through wishes by equipping a hostile creature with a nullray pistol, and swapping into a legendary normality gas cloud, or somehow adding the Nullifiable tag to the player - which is the tag that allows things to be targeted by the nullray pistol.
