- These are six lightwhips emanating out from "hilts" tucked away in the wielder's "hair".
- The "hair" is in fact fake (either extensions or, more likely, a semi-convincing wig) and consists of strands of cortosis-weave, which will short out any lightsaber blades that might attempt to cut the whips off at the "roots".
- All six of the whips are powered by Nextor crystals.
- One whip contains an additional Thontiin crystal.
- The weapons have been alchemized to make them easier to control via the Force.
- Whip It: Lightwhips are a rare/exotic form of lightsaber, utilizing a pliant beam of flexible energy. This particular design incorporates phrik cores surrounded by plasma "blades", allowing the wielder to attack from all sides and overwhelm an enemy's defenses. They are also pretty effective when it comes to digging into armor joints and dealing with groups of enemies seeking to surround the wielder.
- Nextor: The Nextor crystals create highly volatile yet powerful blades.
- Thontiin: The Thontiin crystal has a mild healing factor, though it excels more in the realm of pain management, allowing the wielder to endure debilitating pain, presumably due to all the self-burns from this thing.
- Manipulation: The blades have been enchanted by Ishani to more readily and easily respond to her commands via the Force, almost to the point where they act like extra limbs connected to her nervous system.
- Weaker Than a Saber: While the addition of the Nextor crystal helps to increase the strength of the blade above the mere "ouch, that stings" effect associated with lightwhips, the fact remains that the plasma blade itself is not quite as powerful as that of a lightsaber. A person could very well survive even a direct hit with one of the whips; they do not cut through armor or other strong materials very easily. They are also pretty crappy when it comes to deflecting blaster bolts.
- Force Reliant: Ishani can only really properly operate these things by using the Force. Exposure to Force Voids will effectively render them useless.
- Difficult to Master: All lightwhips are hard to operate, it's one of the reasons why they're rarely used. It can be argued that these things have even more of a learning curve, given that they are attached to her hair and the blades are focused through a crystal which makes them volatile.
- Power Pack in the Back: The back of her neck, to be exact. A direct hit there, while it might not kill her, will most likely destroy the power source of the plasma blades, reducing the whips to mere phrik cords swinging around with no edge.
What kind of insane person would think to attach lightwhips to their hair? Ishani, apparently. Six whips extend out from her neck, wrapped in
