Okay. Well, let's get into a few "What if" scenarios. Number 1: If Rose drops it. What if these monsters are smart enough to pick it up, and use it? Everyone's dead, instantly. Or at least paralyzed, then killed right after as they keep using it. Number 2: Maybe Rose goes to bed, and a monster appears right there. They grab it. Thee end, the whole building is blown away! Number 3: Some new bad guy get's a hold of it. Perhaps Rose turns evil... who knows, it's an RP, many different situations can happen. All it takes is one bad guy who doesn't care about it effecting absolutely everyone, and then blam, everyone is injured, or paralyzed, then either dying or about to be dead. They work right now, because of it is a specifically controlled environment. But, they could... say... collapse after their usage, as they hadn't been fully tested yet. In the end, I think you might need a smaller, but still similar, weapon that could be used. I still plan on outfitting our characters with weapons, and what goes on here (AKA, she can use the weapon now for this upcoming fight, before it falls apart) might influence the designs going on for our characters in the background.
