Upon activation of the artifacts ability, the gashes on Ashandras palms split open as her blood flows through the engravings within the handle. This sacrifice of flesh and blood, and a coursing of the users will, allows for the transformation into a weapon of the users choice. The brush, once it begins to change, will glow pure white, akin to it's abilities of item creation. The end result is about double the size of the original brush, the handle changed to fit the general size of the handle of the chosen weapon, and the bristles changed to appear as the chosen weapons blade.
