[Weapon Suggestion] Magno-Spear

I was thinking about a new addition to the thrown weapons. I also thought that the weapon should follow the stealth theme. I came up with the Magno-Spear:

The Magno-Spear is a low damage melee thrown weapon. It should have base damage of around 15 with a 50% pierce inbuild damage. The animation of the attack could be quite slow in comparacence to something like Bo staff. The animation itself would be thrusting, thus only viable for single target. The stealth attack however should be boosted by 2X base damage. Now the charge damage is 125, weaker than glave's charge. But since it is a spear, hen thrown it would bring the corpses along and damaging targets behind just like Paris arrows do.

Now it still seems pretty weak so what's the catch? The true power of the Magno-Spear is its ability to stick into walls. When charging up you will receive a redicule and will be able to free aim, after relishing the harge button you will throw the spear. When spear will stick into a wall it will act as a platform. By approaching the spear and standing in 3 meter radius anywhere below it, you will receive a message Press x to jump onto spear. After doing so your frame will jump to the spear and lock on it. You will be able to use your secondary and primary weapons as well as freely jump from it. While sitting on the spear enemies will have almost no vision of you making it a unique stealth tool rather than a weapon. It also should be possible to use the spear as a vertical grappling hook as the height requirements for the latching onto spear are non existing, you just have to be in te right radius.

As for the weapon design: the Magno-Spear should consist of two items - the spear itself with the magnetic pike and the magnetic glove with would be placed on the frames right hand. The reason there is a glove is to explain the power at which your frame can launch the spear and ts ability to return to you when you press melee button again. Note that enemies caught by the returning spear will be knocked down but take no damage.

The Magno-Spear would be a gteat addition to the unique weapons in the game, contributing to the stealth and crating a whole new mechanic which would be fun to play around. The idea of having an utility tool rather than a weapon can be quite interesting.
