The ''Pool of Radiance'', one of these weapons, is an advanced fuel rod cannon with a 40% slower rate of fire compared to standard fuel rod cannons, but its projectiles are deadlier as they leave dangerous residue upon impact and feature a proximity airbust fuse and a 42% larger blast radius.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}} It can also be found as the second hidden weapon in the campaign mission [[Reunion]].<ref name="Reunion">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJBnznAbPa4 '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 5 Secret Weapon, Where to find Pool of Radiance'']</ref> | * '''[[Pool of Radiance]]''': Both the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] and [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] use once-forbidden, unstable weapons.
