Description: During his time on Dagobah, Arzark began 'communicating' with the spirits of the dead, frequently receiving messages and visions from them. One of the visions commanded him to construct a weapon that would aid in his abilities as a Seer, without resorting to the barbaric blades of the Jedi and the Sith. After much contemplation and divination, The Seer decided on a wooden staff with a crystal on the end. His hope was that the crystal would give the staff some sort of special properties, perhaps making it stronger in the force. With that in mind, he set out to acquire the materials he needed. He obtained the Durindfire Crystal from Tatooine, guided to their location by looking for answers in spirit ichor work. Once a crystal was in his possession, he travelled to Kashyyyk to carve the Brylark wood. With both materials now obtained, he shaped the wood into a long staff with root-like shapes at the end to hold the crystal. When the staff was complete, he found that the crystal did nothing to enhance it's force abilities. Sure, he could channel the force through the staff and direct various abilities in it's direction, but the crystal merely glowed upon sensing the force and nothing else. Nothing became stronger or more effective. Arzark was dissapointed, but he found some comfort in that the spirits were still pleased with his work. He could combat lightsabers without resorting to their barbaric combat styles, and he also had something to support his movement, which before had be hunched and more of a limp. It should be noted that only when Arzark imbues the staff does it withstand Lightsabers, if it were to be sliced with The Seer's guard down or if he had no chance to imbue it, it would split apart like normal wood. However, Brylark wood is strong, so it still maintains some strength without imbuement.
