SPECIAL FEATURES

• The Upari Crystal was cut in a manner that allowed the blade to leave behind a slight trace of its energy behind as it swung and the alchemical alteration causes a larger residue to be left behind and be propelled forward before dissipating, the size of the residue and how far it is propelled ca be managed through adjustments in the Lightsaber, Saber Technique, and the Force.
• Also increases the general energy of the blade, making it do more damage.

STRENGTHS

• Offers a ranged attack as dangerous as a Saber Throw but without letting go of the saber.
• Increases the general damage of the blade. Items that would adhere to around two saber strikes would likely not survive from just one.

WEAKNESSES

• The farther it is propelled, the weaker it becomes. The maximum range is thirty meters away and usually it would be rather hard to aim, but assistance with the Force can still allow for pinpoint precision.
• For every ten meters, the power of the saber decreases by half. Armor that is averagely resilient against sabers (can take one or two strikes) take double the amount of damage if they are at least beyond ten meters away. Nearing the limit at twenty meters and beyond, the arc of energy is only twenty-five percent of a saber's power.
• Constant use will shrink the blade of the lightsaber thinner and shorter, decreasing effectiveness in melee as well as defense from ranged combatants as it would become harder and harder to deflect blaster bolts.
• When using it to finer degrees or in rapid swings, it will a considerable amount of concentration, leaving him open to being Force Pushed or be countered with someone's own flurry of blasts that will be very hard to deflect due to the shrinking blade.

DESCRIPTION
Persenus' master, Festrous, showed him once his collection of Power Crystals and this one took his eye. He was informed that cutting the Crystals in a certain way would generate different effects. While he never had the chance to study the cut itself, he tried his best to do it all from memory. He wasn't quite sure what the crystal did with that kind of cut, but it lead him to this.

Thank you for that, now this ranged attack is pretty strong. Range wise if it can go for nearly 60 meters goes further then a saber throw. Yes you have it dissipating the further it goes but compared to the strengths it doesn't make for a balance. In a pvp scenario someone would have little chance of countering this crystal in a lightsaber if it is encountered. It will cut through their armor and they can be smacked around by unblockable energy arcs being thrown at them. As it stands this will need a balanced weakness going into it before I can even think of approving it.

I will rebalance in the morning

Krass Wyms Will this work?

It does look better though after some talks important things were pointed out. The discharged residue is something that would and could be dangerous just as much to you as the one you are flinging it towards. Manipulation of it would be something that could leave one more vulnerable to attacks as well.
