- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: n/a
- Modularity: no
- Production: Unique
- Material:
- Phrik alloy (flower/blossom frames)
- Songsteel micro-veins (internal lattice / damping weave)
- Electrum (fine setting, filigree and hooks)
- Cultured Mon Cala pearls (white beads)
- Red Pontite Crystal (crimson orbs)
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Ember-Rooted Equilibrium: Passive thermal buffering from the force imbued red pontite that gently stabilizes Kito's internal "heat" — emotional spikes, stress surges, and fire-aligned instinctive reactions.
- Clarity of the Deep Water: Subtle, constant force imbued resonance from the Mon Cala pearls that encourages calm, ordered thought and emotional clarity without suppressing feeling.
- Silent Veil Weave: Songsteel micro-veins and phrik filigree create mild vibration damping around the wearer's head and shoulders, passively muting the sound of movement (footfalls, fabric rustle, small gestures).
- Attunement Cycle (Personal Imprint): Over time, the earrings become attuned specifically to Kito's Force and emotional signature, providing stronger grounding and a more noticeable sense of "weight" or warmth in response to her internal state, those that are bonded through the Force with Kito benefit from all aspects of the earrings.
STRENGTHS
- Passive Emotional Grounding: Red Pontite's calming resonance helps Kito maintain control when her emotions flare—particularly important for Fire Shaping.
- Improved Mental Clarity: The ever-present calm resonance from the pearls promotes clear thinking under pressure, aiding decision-making without acting as a "mind control" element.
- Subtle Stealth Support: The Silent Veil Weave slightly softens and dampens the sounds of her movement, a natural fit for a Jedi Shadow without turning her into a ghost.
- Non-Aggressive, Low-Profile Artifact: Appears as simple jewelry; its effects are inward-facing and passive, making it difficult for outsiders to immediately identify as a Force artifact or counter directly.
WEAKNESSES
- Emotion Amplification Risk: Calming crystals stabilize emotion—but they also reflect it.In severe turmoil (grief, rage, panic), Kito may feel her emotional state more sharply before regaining equilibrium.
- Attunement-Dependent: The earrings are specifically tuned to Kito. In the hands (or on the ears) of another, the resonance is mismatched — at best useless, at worst mildly disorienting or distracting to the thief/wearer. (Force Bonded Allies avoid this weakness)
- Force-Dependent Function: In Force-null or heavily dampened environments (ysalamiri fields, voidstone/void-based tech, extreme anti-Force measures), the earrings become ordinary jewelry. No grounding, no clarity, no silent veil.
- No Direct Defensive / Offensive Use: They don't block blows, deflect sabers, or project shields. Their value is psychological and spiritual; in a purely physical confrontation, they offer no direct protection beyond the wearer's own discipline.
DESCRIPTION
I made the ʻPua ʻAhi for practical reasons.
I needed something that helped me regulate my reactions and maintain control.
Nothing more than that.
The phrik blossoms were the first part I shaped. They were small, durable, and straightforward to work with. I chose the design because it was clean and simple, not because it held any larger meaning.
The pearls were added next. Mon Cala pearls hold a steady, calming resonance when attuned properly. I chose them because I have a tendency to let stress build internally, and the pearls help me counter that. Their effect is mild, but noticeable.
The Pontite crystals took the most time. Pontite is naturally stabilizing, but it required careful attunement so that it aligned with my Force signature instead of pushing against it. I spent several sessions bringing it into balance so its presence would be consistent and not disruptive.
I wear the earrings because they help me keep my emotions in check.
Their effects are predictable and steady.
On days when my temper rises quickly, I can feel the Pontite reducing the intensity.
On days when my thoughts scatter, the pearls help me focus.
It is not dramatic. It is simply useful.
They are small, and most people don't notice anything unusual about them.
That is preferable. I don't want attention on them. I don't want questions.
They are not a weapon, and not a symbol. They are a tool I use to support my own stability.
I do not rely on them in place of discipline.
They only assist me in maintaining the control I already work for.
They do not dictate my state of mind; they simply help me return to a baseline more efficiently.
For me, that is enough.
