This is the second part of the diagrams of Tarnished Spark for Carmela. This one showcases some of the many features this versatile weapon holds. Now let's get done to the nitty gritty.

[First row, first image]
This is of a side view of the many ammunition magazines stored in Carmela's leg armor. From this angle the securing tabs around clearly seen, it's colors, as well as two other odd things. The pair of tiny rows of thick, reinforced glass (a.k.a. "viewing glass") lets the fighter view how many more rounds are in each cartridge. Keeping track of them by the red decal stripe on each one. As well as the round old and silver disc. This plays and important part in guiding the bullets to the firearm system of Tarnished Spark. Turning each pair slowly so that the tip face almost nearly forward: as the twin gun barrels attach to their partner blades, the discs fully turn the bullets to a vertical before they are slide into position. Ready to move to the barrels, and the partial dust/firearm chamber of the blades when everything comes together.

Frontal view of a magazine. Shows the rows of viewing glass and it's trapezoidal profile.

[First row, third image. ]
A close-up view of a single bullet for Tarnished Spark. The design is similar to a 7.62mm x 39mm cartridge of the hunting rifle class bullets. There is the standard red stripe all the way around the shell of the bullet. While the tip has a compacted end of fire dust in it's powered form. A thin layer of  foil covers and protects the tip of the bullet to ensure it doesn't go off from being transported to the barrels.

These two are a sort of before and after of Tarnish Spark's first, and most used form. Carmela puts this into motion by throwing her arms down, in and "X" motion, crossing one over the other to starts off. Then all the blades lock in place, seven inches in front of her knuckles when she strikes a battle stance.

This is a 3-part, movement phase for the secondary form of Tarnished Spark. This brings the weapon into a more defensive configuration. To start this sequence, Carmela rotates each of her arms in a full circle. Blades 1 and 3 will raise up from their ordinary sunken form, then as Carmela rotates her arms so do blades 1 and 3, until they've done a full 180 degree turn while simultaneously bringing the sharp end of the blades facing the rear of the weapon. When Carmela strikes her stance the two newly rotated blades will compress to the center blade for a flush profile. Carmela can do the reverse to return the blades to their original position.
To return from the offensive form, or to retract the blades back, Carmela can simply tap her fists together to deactivate them.
