nullray pistol

Starless metal on the barrel imbibes light and routes it to the null place. The grip acrylic is patterned after ley lines.

Weapon Class: Pistol
Accuracy: Very High

Perfect

A nullray pistol is a high tier pistol that does not inflict damage. Instead, its sole effect is to nullify normality-inducing phenomena. This includes only normality gas and normality fields.

A nullray pistol consumes an enormous amount of energy when fired. With a fully-charged chem cell, one can only get two uses out of it.

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 its 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]

Note that, if you use the nullray pistol to attempt to nullify a normality field that is supported by actively powered norm cores, the normality field will most likely spring back into effect after a turn or two.

Obtaining

The nullray pistol can be:

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.
