- Classification: Spear
- Size: Small {1 Meter}
- Weight: Heavy
- Force Enchanted: The shamans of the Sandali blessed this blade during it's inception. It's durability and deadliness was multiplied when they gave it the blessing of the Great Gods {The Force}. Due to this blessing the blade and hilt of the weapon are considerably resistant to many forms of assault, including blaster fire and the blade of a lightsaber. They are also capable of conducting the electricity produced by Sith lightning. This has made the blade heavier, but considerably deadly.
- Taste of blood: This weapon benefits from every drop of blood it takes in. When blood is soaked into this spear it will cause the spear to harness the energy of the Force, effectively transferring it into it's wielder. This will give the wielder a sense of revitalization and enhanced stamina, however it is only a minor boost and has it's limits.
- Resistant: This spear, hilt and all, is resistant to the blade of a lightsaber and the bolts of a blaster. While the hilt is not as resistant as the blade, it can still stand up to assault for some time.
- Mullinine edge: The edge of this blade was crafted with mullinine, a rare metallic susbtance that makes the edge maintain it's sharpness and makes it extremely difficult to dull. Although the blade can be eventually dulled it will take considerable effort and time for that to happen.
- Empowering: This spear has the ability to give it's wielder a minor boost in combat which could easily be the difference between life and death.
- Fast: The benefits of such a short spear is it is difficult to see and much easier to wield in close combat. Wielded by a knowledgable person this spear is lightning fast and can easily cut an enemy to ribbons if they are not careful.
- Edged: Although the Mullinine edge makes this weapon difficult to dull, it also is very time consuming to return a dull edge back to it's sharp form. Hours of sharpening would be needed to wear through a dull and return the blade's edge.
- Force Void: The effects of a Ysalamiri or Void stone can dampen this blade's special abilities. In the even the blade enters one of those fields it's ability to empower it's user will either greatly diminish or disappear entirely depending on the item used to dampen it.
- Heavy: The enchantments on this blade seem to have made it significantly heavier than the standard spear. Even for it's smaller size it is very heavy and extended use of it can eventually wear the user down.
Even Cardinal is not quite sure of the origin of his blade, Msomaji Moyo. It was a powerful weapon that was passed down to him when he became a warrior of the Skor clan. One thing is known about the blade, it is a token from the Sandali people, who Cardinal's own clan draws it's origins from.
The last of the clan's "sacred blades" it is an incredibly resistant short spear, made more for close quarters combat than your standard spear. The blade itself was forged with materials that seem to be found all accross the galaxy. The Promethium blade and Greel wood were once enchanted by the shamans of the Sandali, evident by the subtle vibration the blade has in The Force. While it can stand up to blaster fire, conduct and discharge Sith lightning, and maintain an impresively sharp edge that is not it's greatest ability.
The Sandali were a warrior culture who believed blood was sacred and held the true essence of The Force. This belief was transferred in the blade, making it, effectively a vampiric spear. Everytime the blade tastes the blood of an enemy it will empower the user with The Force, revitalizing him and offering a minor boost in strength and stamina.
