Description

So I have done quite a lot of Bloodtingue oriented weapons but only two arcane. As a consequence, here is my arcane only post. 

Washing Pole:
Along with Ludwig, Siegford was Gerhman's favorite apprentice. Both were comrades in battles and rivals in training. Siegford didn't have an affinity for trick weapons and created this awfully long katana with for only asset an extendable handle. He considered tricks to be cowardly and would constantly use the art of quickening to get close to his prey and slice it. In fact he was so skilled at this that the remain of his body could easily inspire any new hunter in quickening. 
This katana asked for both incredible stenght and dexterity and it was said that Siegford was the most skilled hunter to ever participate to the hunt. 
Yet, a jealousy arouse between the two chosen apprentices and a fight was unavoidable. 
Although Siegford's skills were greater, Ludwig's weapon was more durable and resilient. The katana shattered and the fight was over in the blink of an eye. Who started it remains a mystery but every evidence of Ludwig's rival existence were destroyed afterwards. 
It is said that if someone was brave enought to discover and explore the ever-ligthninig-struck mansion of Archibald the outcast, deep within he would find an extremely quick corpse moving thanks to electricity and wielding a broken katana. Of course, this is but a urban legend to be proved. 
One wielding this broken katana uses it very quickly. This is the counterpart of the cursed Chikage and it relies on Arcane. Everytime one presses L1, the katana is seathed and is reforged in exchange for 1 quicksilver bullet. The katana has 10 succesful hits before getting broken again. When this happens it is forcefully reseathed. Asa consequence, this weapon has a particular gimmick. When L1 is pressed it can be maintained as long as one deems necessary. When released it delivers a powerful blow of the blade (reforged or not) followed by a blow of the scabbard. This can sometime stun the foe if in the middle of an attack. 
Before the katana is broken, one can press L2 to throw the remains of the bullet used to reforge it at the opponnent. This instantly breal the katana. 
Washing Pole can be reforged as long as one has quicksilver bullets to use. 

Great Bastard's Coffin:
Before being known for his irrevency, Izzy was a reknown beast hunter. When this dark beast was born , hundreds of hunters tried to kill it. Unsuccesful, they call Izzy to solve this mystery. For years Izzy tried to kill the caged beast but he met no more success than his pairs. After a while, a respectful relationship arose between the two beings. A kind of Stockholm's syndrom in which god knows who is the captive and who is the captor. 
Izzy became obsessed with beast and sought their power. He wanted to become a beast like his caged friend was. But when one is conscious of the beast within, he is least likely to turn into one. 
Izzy became an outcast and never did his duty regarding this atrocious coffin/cage. 
Of course Izzy was friend with the beast inside the coffin. But you are not. So be cautious. 
When the coffin is chained, one carries it and fight as he would with logarius' wheel. Smashing it around. Each hit excites the beast inside and a "roar" can be heard. This makes the foe hesitant. 
When unchained, one doesn't want to be close the coffin. Else he would lose an arm ora leg. He uses the chain to smash the foes while the beast inside is all claws, fangs and tentacles for anything close by. When L2 is pressed, one takes the coffin and presses it against his chest. The beast becomes angry and attacks everything in front of itself. 

Exploration Galley Row:
When texts mentioning Loran were found in the deep ruins below Byrgenwerth, a galley was sent to find this holy forgotten land. This galley was full of rows and of slaves rowing them. But the after several month the galley was not heard of and every hope was lost. Yet, years later it came back rowing... Only no-one was inside.
This row is weirdly found in the Nightare Frontier as to indicate this was once Loran. 
In the east there is a weapon called Eku which was originally a row oar. This is the way one uses it one-handed. When two-handed, this is too heavy for anyone to wield. Yet, the etheral hands of dead slaves keep on rowing helping one to swing it around easily. 
When L2 is pressed, one pull the row back and it comes back smashind everthing in front of it. (Doesn't consume a bullet).

Penance Chime:
Anyone on penance carries this chime around the city. Its sound indicates that a sinner is close by. This can be used as a resonnating mace. When two-handed, it becomes a yole that ashames the wielder and deprives him from hands-moves. Yet it makes for a powerful anti-beast weapons as the incense thro them back. It is also powerful against great ons thanks to the bell. 
Also, one looks like a dancer when rotating these heavy chunks of metal around. 

Waste of Time:
One can choose to be a waste in this wolrd. When he does so he is offered this useless inefficient unfinished club. But after taking care of it so much, after getting used to it, after making it a better weapon, one becomes attached to it. A hunter is refined by time. And so is this weapon which as different stats and forms as it is enhanced by blood stone. 
At first a waste of your time, this non-trick weapon cannot transform. After a certain while, it can become an arcane staff used to activate blood explosion (think of Logarius to see what I mean). 
The club has a blood stone inside that is revealed when transformed. It glows with a red light and can make explosions. 
When L2 is pressed, a homing blood missile is sent toward the ennemy. 
Any hunter was a waste before becoming worth it. Anyone wielding this shameful weapon proves he knows what it takes to become a hunter. 

Mandrake Root Club:
Deep in the ruins of the Ptumerian city grows a plant that is alive. When held by its root, it is a decent club. Plus it looks like an adorable white-skinned puppet. If an entire tree was found one could carve a living doll out off it. But when held by the leaves, it transforms into something horribly ugly and scream so high it hurts any one around. The hunter is used to it by now... Almost deaf he can take it but his ennemies...

Yup... I am running out of ideas for those.
