If you have access to Critical Specialization Effects with it, you have an extra specialization to choose from. If you get a melee crit with it, you can choose to discharge the ranged weapon to increase the critical hit's momentum or shoot the foe as you attack in melee, dealing 2 additional damage per weapon damage die. Both of these options discharge the ranged weapon, which typically means you have to reload it before firing it again.
Kin-Warding Rune
Usage etched onto a weapon that can Parry
A kin-warding weapon can deflect attacks aimed at your allies. When you use the weapon’s parry trait, you can point it at an adjacent ally instead of defending yourself, creating a shield of runes around them. The runic barrier grants your ally the weapon’s circumstance bonus to AC, but you do not gain the bonus yourself.
The creation and application of these runes is a well-guarded Dwarven secret, and you'd be hard-pressed to find any non-dwarves that would even know where to begin.
Weapon Potency Rune
Magical enhancements make this weapon strike true. Attack rolls with this weapon gain a +1 item bonus, and the weapon can be etched with one property rune.
You can upgrade the weapon potency rune already etched on a weapon to a stronger version, increasing the values of the existing rune to those of the new rune. You must have the formula of the stronger rune to do so, and the Price of the upgrade is the difference between the two runes’ Prices.
