The bloodletter assumes its proper form once it draws upon blood from one's body and soul, which is the only practical way of expelling tainted blood.
It can transform from a tiny one-handed mace to a massive two-handed bloody morning star. The transformation happens at the price of the user's health. After conversion, its damage and scaling change to a blood tinge.
8. Blade of mercy

9. Beast cutter

The best cutter is a trick weapon with three presentations. The difference between the versions is their gem imprints. It can slice through the toughest of beast hides.
When transformed, it splits into sections allowing one to lash it in the fashion of a heavy whip. Due to its long-range, great stagger, wide swing, and multiple blade sections are best suited to deal with large foe groups. Its only shortcoming is shallow rally potential.
