Misc. Author Info : AKA "Dick S. Long"
Description : many of those who are reading this now will argue that a modification like
""""""""""" 'Zero Tolerance' needs no extras whatsoever - it's just perfect.
True, but have you tried facing HR-style hordes of demons with this set?
I did, and you can call me wimp or DOOM-llama, but that's when I realized
this jewel lacked a truly powerful, effective, ultimate weapon.
And so I decided to stay true to the original author indications, by adding
to Infinity what Zero Prophet always wanted to:
... a black-hole-style suction effect! ...
I also took the liberty of integrating a new, more bulky blood system
together with a few touchups on a couple monster projectiles.
This is my humble homage to this monster of an arsenal - may you enjoy it!
