Roleplaying the Firestar Protector

The Firestar Protector is an item brought back from the future, its powers are rather strange, It will not inform you of its mistrust, or of its admiration, However it might jam often, or fail to fire if displeased with its owner. The Protection Seal around its handle might burn with radiant heat in an attempt to cause pain to the wielder. However no actual communication is posted between them. If happy it will function without fault, To the point where it will provide added effects allowing its owner to perform more powerful attacks.

Concordance

The Gun will appear strange to anyone who might find it, such a weapon after all has yet to be seen by this world. Upon picking it up and attempting to use it they will soon discover what it does and doesn't like. For a gun that doesn't speak it often shows how it feels towards actions. Possibly Firing itself off when its owner or their ally is committing an act it disagrees with.

Before moving on with an explosion. If it chooses to leave on good terms it will erode into 10,000gp worth of gold dust able to be used to increase an item's magical ability.
