Ebony Raven

Ebony Raven  is one of Dante's signature technomagical handguns alongside Ivory Swan, crafted by Lute Shinra.

Appearance
Ebony Raven is a black M1911 pistol, modified with pivot-style trigger and outside extractor of Browning Hi-Power pistols with a custom set of target sights. Its custom slides that have been noticeably thickened and reinforced along the slide travel rails and around the chamber and firing mechanism. It featured a ported muzzle compensator that reduce recoil and counteract muzzle flip with its barrel extended through the compensator, and ported to match the cuts in the compensator.

Ebony Raven also features a hooked, two-handed trigger-guard and ergonomic wood grip which are inlaid with simple yet elegant oval shaped Raven cameos made of ebony hardwood on both sides, a reference to its name. The outward left side of Ebony Raven is engraved with the name Ebony Raven in cursive script. The right side is engraved with a dedication to Dante: For Dante Quarta By the Gun Virtuoso.

Abilities
As one of Lute's best masterpieces, crafted primarily from special Mithril based magical alloys and customized by advanced alchemy, Ebony Raven is a powerful and versatile technomagical pistol having greater offensive power than the standard Exorcist Gun used by most Exorcists. Designed for long range shooting, Ebony Raven has range, velocity and accuracy to match a rifle, combined with Dante skills, it can shoot the smallest targets over immense distance. It can also used as a conduit for magic spells, effectively channeling any applied spells into its bullet to enhanced it, in Dante's case Holy Power, a variation of a unique form of Light Magic which is significantly stronger then ordinary light magic .
