The Sidhe (presumably pronounced “sheey”) are a secretive but magically adept, Elf-like people. One gets the impression that they’re a small community. The entire population of Sidhe might amount to but a village. Video can’t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: The White Stripes Seven Nation Army Live at Rock Am Ring 2007 1 () However, Seven Nation Army was all the way back in 2003. So just in case – low-fi, almost-punk garage rock with remarkable compositions and a “guts-and-feels-before-technique” performance style with trashy sound.

The backstory in the Heretic manual involves a seven-nation army. So it’s not like I have a *choice* here, folks.

Tyketto’s Tome of Power. This book is used to cast a spell that temporarily turns a weapon into a more powerful version, with additional effects.

Inhilicon’s Wings of Wrath. These allow for fairly slow flight for up to a minute before they burn out.Delmintalitar’s Time Bomb of the Ancients. In-game, you drop these magical hourglasses behind you and they explode after a short delay. Here, we’re going to assume it’s more like a land mine that explodes when something gets close.Valador’s Ring of Invulnerability. What it says on the tin, but the effects only lasts for 30 seconds.Torpol’s Morph Ovum. These enchanted eggs will turn people and monsters into an ordinary chicken if they land close enough. This lasts for a good while, and chickens aren’t known for fearsomeness.Shadowspheres can apparently turn Corvus into an indistinct shadow, which is both hard to spot and hard to damage with non-magical attacks.There are torches. Since Corvus can benefit from their light whilst keeping both hands free, they likely aren’t standard fire-on-a-stick. Maybe something like an amulet emitting an aura of soft light when activated ?.The Firemace is another staff. It shoots/summons barrages of cannonball-like metallic spheres, which roll on the floor and explode.īeyond weapons, Corvus also uses a number of artefacts. These tend to be one-use magical items. Or in me case zero-use, since I’m the sort of player who always thinks they should save their potions for later.The Phoenix Rod is actually a staff, with a winged statuette on top. It fire a fiery projectile that explodes into a burning phoenix-like shape when it hits something.The Hellstaff shoots burst of fireballs. These have more heft and power than the bursts from Dragon Claws.Dragon claws are clawed cups worn over the hands. These can project streams of small lightning balls. Nine out of ten dentists agree that these are a close equivalent to a submachinegun.Ethereal bolts. These shimmering green crossbow bolts triplicate once shot, like our friend Luornu. Touching a crossbow with an ethereal bolt also makes it fuse with it, which makes the crossbow recock itself as the bolt reappears in the flight groove.

Lightning gauntlets. These emit multiple electrical arcs. Their maximal range is about a foot, but they tend to tetanise the target as they fry it. And they can keep the arc up for as long as needed. If every fight were against a non-massive single melee opponent, these would be perfect.

Elven wand. It shoots shards of magical energy that are about as fast and powerful as an arrow from a small hunting bow. Not a terrifying weapon, but it holds a large charge and it shoots way faster than a bow.

A stout oak staff. This is purely a fallback weapon when otherwise disarmed.

Have you ever seen a crow going ape-Sidhe ?Ĭorvus wields a DooM-like arsenal of Sidhe weaponry. Early weapons include : So let’s make something up that represents the video game logic in less abstract terms. Say, Corvus has an item (like his belt) enchanted to “eat” armoured objects ( shields, breastplates, helms, sabatons…). It uses their essence to power an ablative force field protecting and healing the wearer.Ĭorvus also moves as fast as Doomguy does. So let’s *assume* magical boots of speed.

Have a secondary health bar called “armour”. Which is also refilled by running over objects – this time, shields.

Restore his health by running over vials and flasks.

ArmourĬorvus is unarmoured on the box art. But the in-game sprite *might* be wearing a breastplate. It’s impossible to tell since games were so low-res back then. Said magical ordnance hits hard. It allows Corvus to destroy numerous enemies as long as he controls the terms of the battle. They perform much like firearms, in a world that is mostly about melee combat and archery. He has an unclear level of magical training. That allows him to wield enchanted Sidhe ranged weaponry. It is possible that only Sidhe persons can wield such weapons. Corvus is a determined, experienced, rugged warrior. He seems to be more of an irregular fighter and skirmisher than a well-armoured frontline soldier.
