PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: Angus Bloodscrawl (Deceased)
  • Affiliation: Nathan Bloodscrawl Nathan Bloodscrawl
  • Market Status: Closed-Market
  • Model: N/A
  • Modularity: No
  • Production: Unique
  • Material: Durasteel (Force Imbued), Lava Crystal, lightsaber components
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Lightsaber
  • Size: Average
  • Weight: Light
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Lightsaber capable of easily cutting through Force Imbued or Alchemized Materials due to its Lava Crystal, in addition to conventional materials., And capable of defeating heavy shielding It is also extraordinarily resistant to being broken by other Lightsabers, particularly Synth Crystal powered blades
  • Dual Phase
  • Enhances Resistance to Force Drain
  • Fire Orange Lightsaber Blade
  • Hilt is extremely difficult to damage or destroy with Lightsabers due to Force imbued hilt.
  • Crystal is attuned to enhance the user's capability at all Neutral Force Powers
STRENGTHS
  • Cutter Plus: The Lightsaber uses a Lava Crystals, making it able to not only cut through most conventional materials but cut through Alchemized or Force Imbued Materials as well as Heavy Shields
  • Built Vader Tough: It's Force Imbued hilt makes it extremely difficult to destroy, even with Lightsabers. It's blade is also extremely resistant to being broken by other Lightsabers due to the incredible strength of the crystal inside.
  • Variety: Dual Phase Mechanism enables the blade to shorten to half it's length
  • Blessed: It's Lava Crystal is imbued with the Light, granting an Enhanced resistance to Force Drain attempts as well as enhancing the strength of all Neutral Powers
WEAKNESSES
  • Deflection: It's blade cannot deflect blaster bolts, only absorb them
  • Enhanced Sonic Weakness: Sonic bolts that bend around the blade acquire incendiary properties, due to the empowered blade. This carries a risk of heavy damage to the user
  • Enhanced bullet weakness: Solid ammo that melts against the blade burns hotter and longer, doing increased damage to the user should the melted fragments splash into him
  • Swing Speed: The Power of the blade carries with it increased gyroscopic Force, making it only eight tenths as fast to swing as a normal Lightsaber, and is controllable best with a firm two handed grip, somewhat limiting the fighting styles that can be employed with it. The user may have to resort to using heavy armor to mitigate the risks of using such a slow swinging Weapon...which risks slowing them further. It IS possible to use this blade effectively without armor, but the user must be exceptionally skilled
  • Force Voids: Will Not function in Force Voids
  • Dark Side: Direct Dark Side Attacks like Bolt of Hatred or Waves of Darkness can shut down the blade or reduce it's cutting power to nothing for a significant amount of time (Force Lightning Grinds against the blade like normal)
  • Empowered blades: Similarly Enhanced Lightsabers possess the chance of breaking it like a synth Lightsaber would to a regular one
  • Zero breakage: It is incapable of breaking the blades of other Lightsabers
  • Water: It's crystal was incompatible with ignition pulse tech, meaning it shuts down for significant amounts of time should the blade be exposed to water
DESCRIPTION

Angus Bloodscrawl, father of Nathan Bloodscrawl, actually very rarely wielded this legendary blade which has been in the family for generations, used often only for ceremonial purposes. But the blade has tasted the armor of Dark Champions before. Hundreds of times, if the stories are to be believed.

Angus wielded this blade out of desperation after his own personal Lightsaber was destroyed in the Fall of Castle Bloodscrawl. The Furnace of Ession defeated even the strongest armor of every foe Nathan faced that day, and between him and his wife, Angus was the one who came closest to killing Elaine Tear in the duel that finally sealed the fate of the Bloodscrawl Family, with only the shock of his wife being killed in front of him distracting or stunning him long enough for Elaine to kill him as well. The weapon disappeared and somehow remained hidden in the aftermath, though Nathan retrieved the weapon after searching the ruins.

Hello I will be judging your sub this morning

  • Manufacturer:
  • Affiliation:
These will need to be filled out.

Lightsaber capable of easily cutting through Force Imbued or Alchemized Materials due to its Lava Crystal, in addition to conventional materials., And capable of defeating heavy shielding It is also extraordinarily resistant to being broken by other Lightsabers, particularly Synth Crystal powered blades
Enhances Resistance to Force Drain
Based on the reading of both the canon and legends entries of a lava crystal. There is no canon precedent for it being able to do any of that.

It generated a blade that resembled lava. The crystal itself was less focused and concentrated than normal crystals, therefore lava itself was generated from the extreme heat of the dense, heavy blade, creating bits of flame and lava that sometimes splashed and dripped out from the blade itself. This crystal was rumored to be very powerful.
There is no basis for it being able to cut through alchemical materials. Resisting force drain or offering the other beneficial effects. Even if I entertained the game effects of galaxies which only saw it doing a 6% bonus damage that is not really a marked improvement to have these boosts.

Crystal is attuned to enhance the user's capability at all Neutral Force Powers
So you are saying that the crystal was altered from the original version? Altered canon and legends canon should have either their own submissions or have the intention done. It doesn't say in the description or reflect it in the weaknesses. You have been told multiple times before that alteration like this should be balanced and gamey effects should be removed. A general vague "all my powers are enhanced" can mean anything and an excuse to be abused in pvp scenarios.

Deflection: It's blade cannot deflect blaster bolts, only absorb them
This is not a weakness, not being able to deflect but still absorb all shots is more a strength.

Dark Side: Direct Dark Side Attacks like Bolt of Hatred or Waves of Darkness can shut down the blade or reduce it's cutting power to nothing for a significant amount of time (Force Lightning Grinds against the blade like normal)
Do you have canon proof such powers could be directed so finely towards the blade. A bolt is strong and more focused but that level of precision when throwing one is highly questionable.

All and all it is more of the usual. Minimally weakened and balance while trying to maximize how much benefit can be squeezed from it and trying to throw video game mechanics into most scenarios. If you can provide canon examples of the lava crystal having any of those additional effects please do but without it then the crystal will need to be reflected properly in the sub.

Let me know when edits are completed.
