The lore page on the vow "'Til death do us part." -Lord Shaxx In the courtyard of the Tower, Lord Shaxx stares out at the Last City. He puts his foot up on the railing and sighs. Arcite 99-40 knows Shaxx's moods, because they are his own moods. He sidles up to Shaxx and follows his gaze to the horizon. "What's on your mind, boss?" he asks with the friendly rhythm of a local bartender. Shaxx is quiet for a long time, but Arcite is indifferent to the passage of time. When Shaxx speaks, it is with a deep, sobering gravity. "Today," he says. "I will marry them all." Hours later, after Arcite has finished tying off the bouquets and gathering the doves from the mountains beyond the City, Shaxx addresses the courtyard. "Guardians," he booms. "These Crimson Days are a time to renew our bonds to one another. We gather together. We remember what we owe each other. We declare our love." He holds up a bow for the crowd to see. "Bring your fiery passion to the Crucible. Prove your devotion to your Bond." He pauses. "To those of you who win this bow... I offer my hand in marriage! Take it or leave it!" Arcite releases the doves. Someone screams. Doves have not been seen in the Last City for a long time. How can you not love Lord Shaxx

Great storytelling, amazing works as always!! You are one of the few people who tell stories that make me want to pick the game again

[@victorassis6329]

TL:DR; How about a Masterwork Super Proc? Watching this gave me an idea. When some of the legends march, namely, Shaxx, Saladyn, Ikora, Zavalla, Cayde... they use their supers in ways that sound a lot more powerful than our own ever does... even though we are supposed to be the greatest Guardian. Bungie could introduce those moments to the game, something like a "Masterwork Super" proc, let say, 1 chance in 100 that the super get hyperdriven. That would definitely help creating the hero moments everybody loves, specially in the crucible. The player with the effect could shine in a different color and a message would be displayed for everybody. Examples: - A Nightstalker's Shadowshot that reaches twice as far for enemies, even through walls, shields the Nightstalker for 2 seconds after the shot and has a multipler on the transfered damage between tethered enemies; - An Arcstrider's Arc staff that lasts twice as long and makes the Arcstrider a living pulse granade, damaging whoever comes close periodically; - A Gunslinger's Golden Gun with regular four shots but not time limit on using them; - A Stormcaller's Stormtrance that lasts twice as long and allows the Warlock to glide twice as fast; - A Voidwalker's Nova Bomb with four projectiles instead of one, fast and guided as a missile; - A Dawnblade's Daybreak that throws swords twice as fast, and they track enemies - A Striker's Fist of Havoc that allows the Striker to run twice as fast and leaving aftershocks twice the usual size. - A Sunbreaker's Hammer of Sol that lasts twice as long and creates Sunspots with twice as area and twice as damage. - A Sentinel's Shield that allows for shield throws during the whole time of the activation. You get the idea. :)
