Scourge of Gold
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Hyper-Oscillating Dual-Crystal Instability Mount is a modified version of a regular dual crystal mount. When toggled on, a small mechanism causes the two crystals to spin back and forth rapidly in their mounts while the power source of the saber switches to an auxiliary direct hardwire into the mount. This pulls much more energy from the power cell through the crystals and into the emitter. The modifications already present in Darth Avernus’ lightsaber (vibration focusing lens, modified stability ring) allow the function to generate enough instability to destabilize the blade into a more raw form, mimicking that of fire rather than a cohesive stick of energy. The blade still retains a solid form, but loses most of its rigidness which makes it less effective in blocking blaster fire and strong aggressive attacks from other sabers.
This effect requires a large amount of power to maintain, and thus can cause overloading and short circuits as well as complete frying ot the sabers power cell. Thus it isn’t intended for long term use and is intended more as a way to show off and the occasional combat usage when he feels he needs an extra advantage.
- Intent: To give
Avernus
an opportunity to be extra flashy and ostentatious as per his personality, as well as display his skills in technology tinkering and modification with a neat custom lightsaber component. - Image Source: Source Image Address. Artist unknown.
- Canon Link: Firesaber
- Primary Source: Firesaber, Lightsaber
- Manufacturer:
Avernus
- Affiliation:
Avernus
- Model: N/A
- Modularity: Yes.
- Production: Unique
- Material: A modified crystal mount and other sliced lightsaber components.
- Toggleable to allow the user to switch from saber to firesaber and back again.
+Blaze The energy of the lightsaber is destabilized and made more akin to that of a column of fire. This adds the advantages of using the heat against the opponent and the offensive potential of the fiery ’spit’ that comes off of the blade when clashing against another.
+SurpriseWhen toggled, the instability goes into effect extremely quickly. This allows it to be quickly turned on in mid-swing or at any other point in a duel, possibly catching the opponent off guard as they are forced to adjust to the new blade.
-Overloading The modification is not a professionally manufactured one, and instead just the result of Darth Avernus’ tinkering. If used for too long or too frequently it risks overloading the diatium power cell which could disable the blade temporarily or fry the power cell entirely requiring a replacement.
-DangerousDarth Avernus is not immune to the heat or the aforementioned fiery ’spit’ that the blade can produce. Thus using the blade in that mode poses a risk to himself just as much as the enemy, which requires careful adjustments to his fighting style as well as on the fly risk assessment.
