 Scales of justice

| Type: | Team health balancing utility |

| Standard effects: | Balances the total team health of all teams |
| Present in: | W:A, WWP |
The Scales of Justice can be very benefical, or very harmful to yourself. This super weapon will balance all teams total worm health. Let's say team A has 4 worms, with a total of 400 health together, while team B has 2 worms with a total of 200 health. If any worm uses the scales of justice, the total health will be equal for all teams. In this case, the total health of all teams is 600, which gives causes each team to have 300 in total team health. For team B, this is an improvement, for team A, it's a loss. Here's a quick way to show you how it works:
| Team A | Team B |
|---|---|
|
|
| Team A | Team B |
|---|---|

This means that team A has lost 100 health points while team B has earned 100 health points.
