After working on this for the better part of a week on a whim, I'm proud to announce the RE:RN Battlechip tags, designed to spice up your posts, shorten your signatures, and make moderators' lives easier. These shorthand tags will allow you to enter a chip's name, and immediately pull its details from a database.
How to use: Insert a [chip=CHIPNAME] tag anywhere in your post or signature. You are not required to close it with a [/chip] tag, to reduce likelihood of error. You can also have optional add-on arguments at the end. The chip name is exactly case-sensitive, referring to the spelling that we have in our Battle Chip Lists. So, uh, it's DBLBeam1, not DBLBEAM1. :'D
[chip=CHIPNAME] will output a short summary of the chip in question, along with a colored name to indicate element, and corresponding chip icon.

NeoVariableSwordDamage: 160 + Slashing + Variable Mode
Accuracy: B
Description: A sword that, while normally acts like an ordinary sword, can be combined with another sword chip to give added effects.
- Custom Sword grants LifeSword (3x2) range, and boosts accuracy to A, but does not add power.
- Slasher grants the ability to counter close ranged chips, much like Slasher itself.
- Combining with a VariableSword allows the use of any VariableSword capable ranges.
- Combining with any other sword chip produces SonicBoom effects.
In exchange for the power and versatility, the sword breaks at the end of the turn it's used on, no matter how many times it's been used. Rare
Duration: One turn.
Element: Null
Special: Variable Mode: When using this chip, the user may sacrifice an additional Sword-type chip, adding its damage to to this chip. Only ONE chip may be used for this purpose.

Element: Null
Special: Attribute Lock: This battlechip cannot be imbued with an element or extra damage.
Special: Object Erasure: Instantly deletes objects in the attack's path on-contact.

Thanks to Shuryou for helping in bugtesting. Any feature additions or bug reports, please direct them to me or Shuryou.
[sub]P/S: Since the full description option emulates the old Drakim tab style, if anyone kind of cares, I could code them up again...[/sub]
