Lux in Tenebris
- Timer: The Imbued Kolcta Grenade's timer may be set to go off on contact when thrown, or to detonate after a period of time. The fuse only allows for up to a fifteen second delay before detonating.
- Mist: The Imbued Kolcta Grenade releases a fine mist of Force imbued kolcta when it detonates. The grenades is made up of two halves which separate on detonation in order to spray the kolcta from the inside. The mist has a range of five meters.
- Regenerative Agent: On its own, kolcta is capable of reattaching severed limbs and healing grievous injuries over time. This does more. A potentially mortal wound can be mended within moments thanks to the healing properties of the Light imbued into the innate curative ability of the kolcta. While it cannot regrow a lost limb, it could reattach two severed pieces.
- Purging Agent: While it is capable of great healing, the kolcta grenade's imbuement is also meant to purge out the Dark Side. It can cure the corruption of Sith poison, drive off the physical effects of other Dark Side derived maladies and plagues, and dispell Sith sorceries afflicting a person. And if a Dark Sider or a Sithspawn were to be coated in the mist they would likely suffer and feel as though the Light itself were purging the Dark Side from their body, disrupting their connection to the Dark Side and burning them with the type of wound that the Dark Side cannot heal because it cannot truly touch the Light. A Dark Side spirit sprayed with the mist would likely be dispelled and sent back to Chaos.
- Single Use: After the kolcta grenade goes off and is expended, it cannot be reused.
- Exceedingly Limited: Kolcta is prohibitively expensive to make and there are only so many Jedi who are both capable of infusing the Lightside of the Force into objects and who have the time to do so. Consequently, the production line, if it can be called that, is incredibly sparse. A Jedi would likely only carry two at most.
While on Thyferra on a bacta and kolto research mission for the Jedi Order, Jedi Master William Thule and Jedi Knight Andromeda Demir discovered that if they infused the Lightside of the Force directly into the bacta-kolto hybrid solution known as kolcta its capabilities would be enhanced far beyond that of an ordinary bacta grenade carried by the average Republic marine. Together, they poured the Light of the Force into a handful of grenades and found the effects to be intriguing. On the one hand, the imbued bacta possessed incredible healing abilities. On the other hand, it acted as an utter bane to the Dark Side. Not as powerful as a blast of Force Light from a Jedi Master, but enough to burn, dispel, or dissipate effects or Dark Siders that the imbued mist touched.
