==Description==<br />
At Skilled and Expert [[skill]], breaking wheels gain the "knock back" and "knock back charge" [[expert trait]]s.<br />
<br />
==Origin==<br />
The breaking wheel has, in large parts, roots in the 2015 video game [[Bloodborne]], as well as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Souls Dark Souls I]. Its name and appearance have been greatly inspired by the [Logarius' Wheel]. Its item description states: "Weapon wielded by martyr Logarius' band of executioners. Used to slaughter the Vilebloods in Cainhurst. Bathed in pools of their blood, and forever steeped in their ire. Transform to release the power of the wheel and manifest their lingering rage in a show of utter brilliance." It is a weapon utilized by [https://www.bloodborne-wiki.com/2015/03/alfred.html Alfred, Hunter of Vilebloods] and, if his questline is taken to completion, is used by him to mutilate [https://www.bloodborne-wiki.com/2015/03/annalise-queen-of-castle-cainhurst.html Annalise, Queen of Castle Cainhurst].<br />
<br />
==Encyclopedia==<br />
{{encyclopedia|<br />
Weapon wielded by those who believe themselves holy<br />
executioners, and forever steeped in the ire of its<br />
victims.<br />
<br />
When the wheel is spun, the lingering rage of the<br />
damned wreks havoc on both the wielder and their<br />
foes.<br />
