TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Warborne Blade: Forged entirely from beskar, allowing it to withstand lightsaber strikes, blaster deflection, and extreme stress without fracturing.
• Forged in Dark Fire: The weapon is stamped with Mando'a characters and Dathomirian runes. Infused with Nightsister magicks, the ancient characters and runes etched into the blade during its forging awaken a heightened connection to the Force, sharpening the wielder's senses and awareness in battle.

STRENGTHS

• Beskad Influence: Capable of cutting into weaker materials and/or damaging conventional armor
• Corrosion Resistant: Blood, rain, snow, or even most acid is unable to weaken the blade’s constitution.
• Versatile in Combat: Forge techniques combined to fold the beskar make it suitable for combat against lightsabers and other types of melee weapons.

WEAKNESSES

• Dark Side Influence: The weapon can be influenced by the wielder’s emotions by making them more prominent when attuning to the force. Where wrath and sorrow dwell, it also brings feelings of paranoia if not focused.
• Limited Reach: The sword has limited reach compared to polearms. Engagements with longer weapons of opposition may require one to get closer within that weapon’s range to deal with.
• Heavy Handed: Its weight makes it hard to stop the weapon once it begins moving without great strength. Two handed techniques aren’t required, but typically recommended.
• Force Suppression: Items that dampen the force or that can limit the effects, make the weapon's forge enhanced abilities null. It then becomes a mundane weapon and will take some time to recover post exposure to such opposing effects.

DESCRIPTION
A weapon worthy of a Mandalorian Supercommando, the Helgrinder is a Helgrinder is a Beskard'ori (longsword) forged entirely from solid beskar. Its design was passed down through Ze’bast’s mother’s bloodline. Helgrinder was forged within the crucibles of House Verd’s clan forge, this weapon represents the brutal simplicity of Mandalorian martial philosophy — cut deep, strike hard, and break all that stands against you.

This claymore is not simply a relic or ceremonial piece as it’s built for war. Its use is most effective when wielded by warriors of high martial expertise. In battle, it can serve as both a standard melee weapon and a psychological weapon. The crackling hum of the Nightsister magicks melded into the weapon is often the last thing an enemy hears before meeting death.

Alright, with this being influenced by Dathomir magics, it is influenced by an aspect of the force, and so I would like you to add that it can be nullified by things such as Voidstones or Force Nullification effects.

Otherwise, good looking sword.
