DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES
This sword has the capabilities of many other Sith Swords. It's lightsaber resistant and can deflect directed-energy weapons such as blasterfire, while possessing an unnaturally sharp edge to cut through things with ease. Furthermore it is capable of grounding Force Lightning attacks, grounding the energy entirely. But on the flip-side it is very heavy for a blade it's size and bulky and slow as a result. Its presence in the Force can tip off people as it is not very subtle. As it was made by the Darkside, sufficient bursts of Force Light will remove all dark-sided presence in the blade.

DESCRIPTION
A masterpiece of Sith Alchemy this sword was crafted with standard Sith rituals as many Sith Swords before it, therefore it possess many of the traits a Sith Sword should have. The main twist, however, is that the base blade is made of folded beskar, necessary due to the low quality of the beskar supplied, which results in a wavy blade due to the unique craftsmanship, with the beskar requested and supplied by Kami. The wavy blade can also cause unpleasant vibrations to be transmitted to an opponent's lightsaber or Sith sword. It is resistant against lightsabers, can ground lightning and deflect directed-energy weapons, such as blaster shots. But its presence in the Force will warn any Jedi of its wielder's arrival and ruin any attempts of stealth missions among light-siders.

Strengths:

• Well-rounded: It possess the quality of many other Sith Swords.
• Lightsaber resistance: Due to the presence of beskar, it can resist lightsabers and even cut through durasteel
• Wavy blade: The wavy nature of the blade can cause opponents using other Sith swords, beskads or vibroblades to receive unpleasant vibrations, which could potentially cause injuries such as broken bones

Weaknesses:

• Lightside: Bursts of lightside energy will render the sword nothing more than an ordinary beskad.
• Heavy: For a sword its size it is very heavy and bulky: beskar only makes things worse.
• Presence: Darkside presence means that unless you somehow hide it, Jedi can detect the wielder. However, if used by a NFU, it will make the NFU's dark-sided presence akin to a Sith Acolyte.
• Big: Many species will need to wield the sword two-handed; the half-hand parrying hooks make one-handed wielding possible but tricky to do

Hi [member="Janick Beauchamp"]!

Wavy blade: The wavy nature of the blade can cause opponents using other Sith swords or lightsabers to receive unpleasant vibrations, which could potentially cause injuries such as broken bones

I am confused as to how this would in any way affect a lightsaber? They are focused beams of superheated plasma, there would be no vibration to be felt in the hilt from contact of another weapon such as this as they are weightless blades of energy.

[member="Jamie Pyne"] While it may not affect a lightsaber, it could affect other beskads or vibroblades provided they have mass.

Approved.
