• Weapon-Specific Hit Messages:

Your Periodical Paintbrush paints a picture of <it> taking X damage. It's not a pretty picture, believe me. BOINK! BIFF! SMACK!

You paint with all the colors of the wind -- all the colors that do X damage, that is. SPLAT! WHACK! KAPOW!

Your Periodical Paintbrush paints a convincing picture of <it> in pain -- so convincing, in fact, that <it> takes X damage. BONK! BOINK! BOINK!

You ask your Periodical Paintbrush "could you wanna paint a picture of this monster taking X damage? 'Cause I won't remember." The paintbrush complies. KAPOW! POW! BAM!

You use <her> like a canvas, painting X damage worth of pure artistic pain. WHAM! BAM! KAPOW!

References

• As this item was awarded for winning a calendar illustration contest, it isn't surprising that the enchantment would be based on moon cycles.
• The weapon-specific hit message stating "could you wanna paint a picture..." is a reference to the song "Take a Picture" by Filter.
• "Colors of the wind" is a reference to the song of the same name from Disney's Pocahontas.
