    Haha losers this tech app is mine

    Name: Gravitic Impartment Flail Prosthetic

    Description: Very similar to that of a Gravity Fist, the GI Flail Prosthetic is an entire prosthetic arm takes this concept even further. The arm itself is built with a heavier frame than standard, with an thin durasteel casing. As for the fist itself? Like the Gravity Fist, it is built with thick metal plating, and an interlocking mechanism within this. The fist itself is detachable from the wrist and suspended by a cable that is approximately .4 meters long. This cable is responsible for transmitting power to the fist, however motor control is handled by the wrist. Optionally, there is a handheld variant, which replaces a the hand with a non-retractable durasteel-cased flail head. This forgoes use of it as an arm, obviously.

    Abilities:
    - Fist can be turned into a flail weapon
    - Hits harder than a Gravity Fist

    Conditional Abilities (Optional):
    - The prosthetic is slightly stronger than the average model
    - Can split wooden beams in two, and dent thinner sheets of metal inward
    - The Gravity Flail itself can be weaponized as a handheld instead, forgoing the hand for an actual flail head. All properties are the same, save for the fact it is no longer built into an arm. It does however, have extra reach with the handle.

    Limitations:
    - The arm is heavier than a standard prosthetic, requiring more power to move normally.
    - May cause discomfort in the shoulder and back, especially after extended use. This is due to the heavier weight.
    - Takes training/practice to use as a weapon properly
    - Misuse can cause the user to hit themselves, or someone else unintentionally
    - The hand can not pose anything other than a balled fist while in flail form
    - The fingers are not as dexterous as standard prosthetic fingers. This might make tasks such as typing slower, than if they had organic fingers. Tasks such as writing and drawing should be reserved for the other hand.
    - Slightly slower than a Gravity Fist
    - The extra force capabilities are ONLY ACTIVE when it is extended as a flail.
    - The prosthetic has a lifespan of 57 hours (As opposed to the standard 72 hours), and this entire charge can be depleted within 30 minutes while the flail is in use.
    - if an EMP is used on the limb, it becomes dead weight until its electronics are repaired

    Conditional Limitations (Optional):
    - Especially hard hits on harder surfaces (such as durasteel or thick metal) can jar and jam fingers in place. They will need repaired to move again
    - Just as a Gravity Fist, it detonates if destroyed mid-swing
    - If in mid swing and the cable is cut, the fist will detonate on impact with a non-soft surface (soft surfaces such as water and deep snow) if it lands within three seconds.
    - As a handheld rather than a prosthetic, the cable is non-retractable and the weapon can prove hard to conceal.

    How does it work: The same technology as the Gravity Hammer and Gravity Fist, the difference here being that this prosthetic uses a fist that extends off into a flail. In this form, the hand remains balled into a fist, and its Gravitic Impartment features activate as the flail is swung.

    Flavor text: For those mad enough to think that a Gravity Fist was not enough, those mad enough to try, and those with the dedication to it would lead to the invention of the GI Flail Prosthetic. Dedicating an entire limb to the cause of destruction.

    Referenced Technologies (Optional):
