plotmeat
Martin's blood is a foul mixture of actual blood and some mystery components which, if ingested in some amounts, can cause organics to decay, mutate, and creatures/people to grow monstrous or just plain feral. Likewise, the black, gunky stuff he coughs up after conjuring weapons can be toxic in the same way if ingested or seeps through pores/gets into eyes or ears or much the same.
If you're interested in getting your character gross and monstery, we can work together (with mod approval) to make it happen!

the weapon
Martin conjures large spears/lances with grips that are far too big to wield properly; he tends to use them as projectiles or a means to launch himself places. They are comprised of dense bone matter with a smattering of metal and other foreign substances to sustain its shape. The time limit per weapon is usually around 2-2.5 minutes, where by then it will lose form and turn to dust.
Maintaining the weapon's consistency is a concentration game, so distractions/injuries can compromise the weapon and disintegrate it earlier.

The weapon ejects from the palm of his hand (or both hands, which results in a larger weapon that is harder to keep manifested). In order to do so, his arm must be straight; he can conjure from his elbow as the exit point, but it's painful and ungainly and not a thing he's advised to do. Elbows and shoulders act as buffers to keep from dislocating bones during weapon manifestation and exit.

Every time a weapon is made, no matter how long it lasts, results in a buildup of black gunk he must spit out/avoid ingesting (see plotmeat section). The longer/bigger the conjure, the more there is to get rid of. Turnaround time tends to be about the twice the time the weapon remained manifested (so typically no more than 4/4.5 minutes).

the medal
Martin wears a medallion on a chain that is kept tucked beneath his clothes more often than not. Magically inclined folks could possibly detect something "off" about it, but the real nature of the thing is unclear. The chain is unbreakable and somehow shrinks when attempts to pull it up over his head are made; he cannot take it off.

unpleasant atmosphere
Martin exudes an unpleasant kind of vibe/aura/atmosphere; everyone could be happy -- he could even look happy, but while everyone is bright and nice and approachable, he'll seem cloudier and less bright by comparison. This is in part because of the foulness in his biology and part because he's just very very sad and anxious, but empathetic/psychic sorts of people could get a more palpable sense of that gloom.
