Bio: Two Kanohi, a Zatth and a Mask of Possibilities, were both smelted down into Kanoka. The two sets of material harvested from those Kanoka were used in specifically designed positions and incorporated into a blade-like projectile weapon that had several gears installed in extremely precise positions just for this purpose. The goal was finally reached: a weapon that could summon any creature the user wished with 97.5% accuracy. The Blaster is fairly new, and unknown side-effects, possible weapon failure, how to send the summoned creature back, and how to fix the other 2.5% are still being tested. But aside from the aforementioned Unknown Unknowns, this Blaster-Blade has been known to work efficiently, and can help in battle or in a tight spot. Zatth users have mentioned the benefits of this staff, stating that this blade is a step-up for their random summonings, for the most part. Makuta have also noted the efficiency of this staff, being able to summon Rahkshi and Visorak at will.
This blade is powered by an internal source of electrical energy, so if your not on Xia and there aren't any Toa of Lightning nearby, you'll probably want to summon a lightning bug to charge it.

The Blaster-Blade of Zatth looks sort of like a Bolt Launcher only with a Crossbow-type middle. It has an activation button and a telescopic firing-scope, just recently updated so that it's crafted from a Kanoka Sanok. It also features a handle that Toa can use to channel their elemental powers into the blade. Additionally, it can be shoulder-mounted.
A recent modification in the blaster's design has enhanced the weapon capabilities with a Dart-Launcher against Rahi if they become a problem after summoning, or to fire as a projectile while the weapon is not being used to summon creatures. The darts themselves are on almost the same power level as Cordak Missiles (though not nearly as efficient), but they are additionally shaped to act as mini-drills.

Bio: On the island of Xia, as several Vortixx designers were busy, two Kanohi, a Zatth and a Mask of Possibilities, were both smelted down into Kanoka. The two sets of material harvested from those Kanoka were used in specifically designed positions and incorporated into a blade-like projectile weapon that had several gears installed in extremely precise positions just for this purpose. The goal was finally reached: a weapon that could summon any creature the user wished with 97.5% accuracy. The Blaster is fairly new, and unknown side-effects, possible weapon failure, how to send the summoned creature back, and how to fix the other 2.5% (a situation nicknamed 2.5%) are still being tested. But aside from the aforementioned Unknown Unknowns, this Blaster-Blade has been known to work efficiently, and can help in battle or in a tight spot. Zatth users have mentioned the benefits of this staff, stating that this blade is a step-up for their random summonings, for the most part.

The Blaster-Blade of Zatth looks sort of like a Bolt Launcher only with a Crossbow-type middle. It has an activation button and a telescopic firing-scope, possibly to be replaced with another crafted from a Kanoka Sanok. It also features a handle that Toa can use to channel their elemental powers into the blade.

Update One: The virus-magnet power of the Zatth can still be affected by probability; however, this is the cause of the 2.5%. Clearing all Visorak in the area will confuse the weapon, and Fikou, Fenrakk Spawn, Dagger Spiders, and Silver Chute Spiders have all been known to appear in their place. And do NOT attempt to summon any non-Rahi or creatures that are such that they may not exist in this dimension currently, such as the Zivon, as they will almost certainly result in weapon failure or 2.5%, which is a situation you'd be better off trying out with a Zatth, because a Zatth doesn't blow up if you try to make it summon something it can't find.

Update:
