Warframe: Corpus staff concept

Made for the melee weapon contest in Warframe. Guess I'll post it here as well...

Description: 
Built-in magnetic fields allow this staff to partially absorb incoming damage while blocking and  convert it into charge. The weapon can absorb up to X / 30 * 1000 charge points (X = weapon rank). Stored charge has 2 usage options:

- Adds fire damage to the weapon (X% of the base damage; each hit consumes X charge points)
- Transforms into overshields instantly by pressing the secondary fire button (X% of the max shield amount); warframes without shields get an armor buff (X% of their max armor) for X / 30 * 10 seconds.
