Image Source: Pintrest
Intent: A unique sword for Guidance
Development Thread: (dominion of Hast--Akio finds the blade in a solo mission and uses it to rescue a young woman from a force ghost) x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
Manufacturer: NPC Jedi of ancient history
Model: none
Affiliation: personal
Modularity: none
Production Unique
Material: Force Imbued Force Crystal Overlaid in Durasteel
Classification: Bastard Sword
Size: One and a half hands
Length: 120 cm
Weight: 4.5 kg
Special Features:
++Force Imbued
++Glows (cosmetic, no real affect, kinda just like the way a lightsaber gives off light)
++Sense Enhancement: This sword was given the ability to help clear the user's mind and senses when held. Passively, this has no effect. However, when the user is holding the weapon in their hand(s) and focuses on using skills such as sense path or Sense they will have an easier time doing so.
Strengths:
++Force Imbued: This comes with the usual cannon perks of being lightsaber proof, reflecting blaster bolts, and stuff like that.
++Sense enhancement (stated above in Special features)
++Keen Edge: While not as sharp or hard as a diamond would be, it will not lose its edge. This has nothing to do with its material composition and everything to do with being a force artifact.

Weaknesses:
--Very heavy: Since it was force-imbued this blade isn't a lightweight
--Yalasarmi
--Voidstone
--Lightside purist: Designed by the master, this bade is only for the pure of heart. If a darksider uses this weapon they will find negative effects such as sweating, or difficulty concentrating. Also, the blade will be less responsive to their care. The same goes for a lightsider using this who goes "dark."
--Refusal to kill: The blade can have a mind of its own and some would say that it is almost thinking. When the wielder attempts to kill a harmless being, or one that is good, they will find the edge blunted as if by magic. Simply put, its all but impossible to commit murder with this weapon. This is for IC flavor more than anything else.

Description:
Forged by a master of the Force, this blade is unique, one of a kind, designed to be passed on from warrior to warrior for combat against darkness. From generation to generation, his crystaline blade has been passed from warrior to warrior, and seen many a worthy foe felled in its time.

The blade itself is made from a Force Crystal. Its design is elegant and simple, without a great addo about it. Light refracts off it, giving a shimmering hue to the area around it as the colors of the universe are refracted off the prism. This is a normal effect of prisms on light and is nothing special in the least. In the dark or low lighting, the Blade of Guidance gives off a slight bit of light of several shimmering colors. This only covers a few cemeters around it and does nothing to make the area brighter.

When a lightsider carries this weapon the first thing they will notice is how heavy it is. The next thing they will notice is a heightened sense of awareness. This is a plus and minus--heightened senses for instance mean an increased awareness of negative stimuli such as the smell of rotting garbage. This has no effect when the blade is in its sheath. Darksiders will notice a slightly harder time concentrating and the blade's edge being blunted--that is to say a harder time slicing and stabbing.

For the light sider skills such as Sense Path and Sense come easier--however, if they have no knowledge of how to use this then there is no effect. It does not teach these powers, the blade only heightens the ability to use them.

All in all, it is just a Force imbued sword that is able to help a lightsider focus on using sense based force feats.

There's a small problem with making a sword out of crystals/diamonds/minerals - they tend to be more brittle the harder they are. Whereas a "diamond hardness", as one might find in a surgical scalpel made from synthetic diamond, might not dull nearly as quickly as a steel one, the molecular bonds in the structural makeup of crystals, and more specifically diamond (which is easier to research), that gives them their "hardness" also takes away from their "toughness", or ability to withstand heavy impacts. In other words, it makes them more likely to shatter or chip like glass than bend and flex like metal.

So while your crystal blade is likely to retain a sharp blade better than a steel one, it is very likely that it will break, crack, etc, along the edge if not eventually in its entirety if it were to actually be struck by something like a steel sword or similar such object.

Now you can still have your crystal sword, I just need you to add in a blurb that explains that, because of the materials you've used for this weapon it will be apt to fracturing/cracking/chipping/shattering.
