Nox Nyctores

The Arma Reboare: Muchourin (雷轟・無兆鈴ライゴウ・ムチョウリン Raigou Muchourin) is the seventh Nox Nyctores that was originally created for Trinity Glassfille during the Dark War. It takes the form of a long pink staff. It is presumed to still be in the possession of Platinum the Trinity.

Information

Created to combat the Black Beast by Nine the Phantom, Muchourin was created specifically for Trinity. It was the first of the Nox's to be handed out. When tricked by Yuuki Terumi into betraying Nine, Trinity was nearly thrown into the Boundary, but instead sealed her soul into Muchourin.[1] It was then recovered by the Novus Orbis Librarium and retained by them for many years afterwards. Jubei would then later steal the Nox from the organization and Trinity began communicating through it, occasionally materializing her soul.[2] In time, it was gifted to Platinum the Trinity, who would usually keep it wrapped up in cloth. It is unknown where Muchourin currently is after it materialized Hihiirokane or even if it is still functional.

Muchourin's main purpose as a Nox is to materialize objects. It can create objects that its wielder hasn't seen but through the use of items such as the Eye of Tomonori, it is possible to create said objects.[3] The main strength of Muchourin is awakened when it is wielded by someone who is apt in defensive magic or sorcery, or someone strong with alchemy. With proper application, it can make defensive magic stronger or make it offensively oriented - with alchemy, it is possible to create weapons or armour out of thin air.[4] During the fight against the Black Beast, Trinity used Muchourin to instantly create a roof strong enough to take the brunt of one of the Beast's attacks.[5]

Like all Nox Nyctores, however, there exists the mental drawback. The price for using Muchourin is that it makes its user lose memories.[6] Its greatest creation is a replica of the Hihiirokane, which is identical to the original. Trinity's spirit is often seen with her version of Muchourin; it is possible that it is a weaker replica of Muchourin itself.

Physically, Muchourin is a long pink staff with one of its ends being in the shape of a heart with golden rims; within sits a red orb, and the bottom of the staff has a sharp golden tip. It is not clear whether it is made from metal or wood, even when touched. When wielded by Trinity, its form is much thinner, with a needle-like end and its heart shape changing into two separate rods and with a large golden bell floating in the center.
