History Main / ElementalWeapon

* Most weapons in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' are imbued with an element, allowing a hunter to inflict elemental damage or inflict status effects. Notably, the weapons are not magical in nature. Rather, they crafted from monster parts, often including an internal organ that allows a monster to use its elemental powers.

* ''Holy Umbrella'' adds elemental power to [[ParasolOfPain umbrellas]]. Each new umbrella has to be unlocked by acquiring the appropriate PlotCoupon.

* Technically, any weapon can be considered an "elemental weapon", since all of them rely on the application of one of the fundamental forces (interactions) of nature. [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter Kinetic weapons]] rely on Electromagnetism; [[NuclearOption Nuclear weapons]] rely on the Strong Interaction; [[OrbitalBombardment Orbital bombardment]] (and plain-ol' regular bombardment) relies on Gravity; And so forth.

* In ''Videogame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'', Killer Frost creates a sword of ice as one of her attacks.

A weapon created or empowered by the use of ElementalPowers, like a [[FlamingSword sword wreathed in flames]] or a spear made of ice. One reason is to give an already deadly weapon extra edge. Another reason is that it simply looks cool. An elemental weapon may be able to absorb and deflect its own element or inflict damage associated with it (like electrocution by an electric-based weapon). These weapons are often done via SpontaneousWeaponCreation, though it doesn't have to be. An UltimateBlacksmith might have the ability to craft such a weapon. Might be a type of EnhancedArchaicWeapon.

Compare ElementalArmor, ElementalPunch, SpellBlade.
