OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION

• Intent: To make a new Lightsaber Crystal

• Permissions: N/A
• Primary Source: N/A

PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Name: Kytrand
• Manufacturer: The Force
• Affiliation: The Jedi Order
• Market Status: Open-Market
• Homeworld (optional): Kytrand
• Production: Semi-Unique
• Modularity: Yes (Can be used in Lightsabers)
• Material: Lightsaber Crystal

PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Lightsaber Crystal
• Weight: Very Light
• Color: A dull rose red color, down to the very core of the blade when Installed. Ruby colored uninstalled
• Resistances:
• Energy (Blasters): Very High
• Kinetic (Slugthrowers): None
• Lightsabers: Very High
• Acid: None
• Ion/EMP: None
• Sonic: None
• Flame: Very Low
• Cryo: Very Low
• Vibro: Very High
• Electricity: High

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Lightsaber Crystal offering potentially increased cutting power against conventional lightsaber resistant materials as well as alchemized materials due to being heavily Imbued with the Light Side, and reacting with the electrical field of the user's body to provide increased cutting power
• All double as valuable jewelry
• Extremely useful as a meditation tool

STRENGTHS

• Cutter: The blades produced by these crystals are so powerful that conventional and even Alchemized/ Force Imbued Lightsaber Resistant materials are potentially under threat. (Pure Cortosis still deactivates blades however). Conventional materials that are potentially under increased threat are Phrik, Songsteel, and Beskar, Armor weave, Plastoid, Cortosis Weave Durasteel are not under increased threat. The effect is achieved due to the crystal being heavily Imbued with the Light, which causes a reaction with the User's personal electric field like all of Kytrand's other Lightsaber crystals, except instead of generating protective effects, it is geared towards generating increased power to Lightsaber blades by drawing from the User's channeled energy.
• Contemplation: Serves as an excellent meditation tool
• Color: Generates a dull rose red color down to the core when Installed. Strange!
• Value: Can double as an extremely valuable gemstone for jewelry

WEAKNESSES

• Force Voids: Does not function in Force Voids
• Solid Ammo: Solid ammo melts against blades generated against these pistols just like normal Lightsabers
• Ion: Being exposed to ion weapons causes the blade to shut down.
• Acquisition Difficulty: Garnet's are located only in areas of Kytrand where the surface crust is densest and deepest. It takes a TON of effort to cut samples free
• Sonic: Sonic Bolts bend around the blade like with any other lightsaber
• Focus Required: In Order to gain its increased cutting effects, The User must devote some of their focus to channeling their own power through the crystal. Without this focus, it possesses only the cutting strength of an ordinary lightsaber. With such focus, it gains the cutting strength, but the users own personal Force Powers are reduced in strength in every category, and blade swings are only two thirds of their average speed due to increased gyroscopic effect on the blade due to power channeling.

DESCRIPTION

Kytrand Rose Garnets are among the most dangerous crystals that can be installed in a lightsaber, offering potentially unparalleled cutting power at the cost of speed. Natural red Lightsaber Crystals were coveted by the Bloodscrawl Family wherever possible, and they took great care to secure samples of these gems whenever they were harvested. Average price is 500,000 credits per stone.

This is from the template and what needs to be restored on the sub

Have added resistances and made edits, Krass Wyms

All deflected blaster bolts increase in strength slightly

All deflected blaster bolts gain bow caster like ricochet qualities

Deflection Plus: All deflected lightsaber bolts gain a slight increase in strength and gain a bowcaster-like ricochet effects, bouncing off surfaces up to four times before dissipating...or unless they hit someone...

That is not how blaster bolt defection works nor how a bowcaster is designed. The bouncing effect is because most standard bowcasters fired a solid quarrel encased in energy. It exploded and being solid could bounce off of surface.

Increasing the power of a deflection is questionable as well. IF you want it then there is going to need to be more explanation then just because.

Removed deflection strengths, Krass Wyms

Which saber resistant materials? There were several and all had varying degrees that could be overcome eventually. I will quote the same thing that is always told to you.

IF you want it then there is going to need to be more explanation then just because.

As it stands you have the barest bones here with just throwing abilities on. when one gets called you change it to another that would be in the same position and don't change anything else. You have been making subs in the factory long enough to know when you need to explain more or remove something.

Have made more edits explaining it's abilities, Krass Wyms

Dude I don't even know where to begin with this. Even being generous and lax increased cutting power just because you are alive and electrical fields in the body are produced from interactions of cells and neurons firing.... would be a hard no. FOrce enhancing a blade with the lightside to make it stronger against the darkside... easy sell. Increased cutting power because the lightsabers power setting are at max and has a longer lasting power source. Easy cell it is simple and easily done with a protosaber and power generator pack. This is a no with as much emphasis as can be, the previous crystals with concentration vaguely resembling a sith shielding talisman in its function could at least be justified. This looks more like a way to instantly kill any beings as you are taking the energy that is needed to interact in the body to get a little extra cutting power. I recommend removing it.

Aside from that this is decent enough I would recommend don't try and be so special and clever to make the sub unique. You can have a good even rare effect with far less complication and work. All the tools are in the wookiee articles and there are dozens who have made factory subs getting similar results with a fraction the complication.
