Hi [member="Darth Rowe"],

I'll be reviewing your submission today. This looks like a really cool submission, and honestly, I'd never thought about protecting my lightsaber against EMP attacks before, that's a really nice touch.

I just have a few areas I think the submission could be polished up before I go ahead and approve this.

Firstly the Kaiburr Crystal, that's a really cool crystal, and one of the better crystals out there for use in a lightsaber. However, the Wookiepedia link states that the crystal's abilities decrease substantially in direct relation with distance from Pomojema's temple. In particular, the healing power that you mention in your sub. As Wookiepedia says "by the time the crystal made it off-planet, it was essentially worthless, save for its history and use as a lightsaber focusing crystal." I'd recommend adjusting the wording of your submission to bring it more in line with canon.

Also, you mentioned that the Jolt Cell could shock the user in your weaknesses, I've checked the link and there is no mention of that weakness, nor the ability to shock enemies on rebuff and make them step back, it does, however, increase the strength of the blade, and allow users to increase electrical damage done to enemies. I'd recommend adjusting the wording of your submission to match the canon description, or put in an explanation of how it works differently? A thought that jumps to mind is that if the Jolt Cell is incorrectly attached then instead of providing the blade with electrical damage, it might instead shoot out sparks that could hit either the user or the opponent.

Lastly, and this is a small thing, I'd recommend you add the standard lightsaber weakness stating that it can be shorted out by Cortosis and can't cut through the lightsaber resistant materials that people use. That way someone fighting you knows the full range of your weapon's abilities and weaknesses.

Please tag me back when you're ready and we can get this lightsaber approved.
