- Material:
- Force Enhanced: Hardened with the force to resist lightsabers and have a strong darkside aura.
- Force Enhanced: Enhanced by the darkside of the force to be stronger and resist lightsabers
- Dark Sounds: When played it invokes different darkside spells depending upon the sing. Each a focus that can draw and take the energy and concentration of the user.
Sad Lament of Unaga: Used to focus a spell of Odojinya. Spreading out from the casing and user a darkside mesh that saps at the strength and force connection of others. - Ghosts: A sad tale worked on for hers and Ni-Nes lost friends used to focus the spell Dwomutsiqsa and bring forth Sawa's smoke demon servant. (npc submission to be added later)
- Beauty: A song from the academy that Sawa worked on to remember
Nine Lives
whom she gave up a lot turning against her family. Used to focus spells of Qâzoi Kyantuska and overtake for a small amount of time a room of people. - Marching Home: A soft ballad from Atrisia's past played to Invoke spirits and bring them to serve and empower Sawa.
- Unnamed: An instrumental song used to focus sith magics and resurrect sith undead to serve and protect Sawa's fortress.
- FOrce Imbued: Designed and fashioned as a force enhanced club and weapon. THe strength of the weapons relies on the force to enhance it. Voidstone/steel, force dampening, yasalimiri, vong biotech can weaken and disable its strengths rendering it a simple piece of wood.
- Focus: Designed to focus and requires a user to channel the darkside into the music that comes out. A deadening of the other senses aside from palying the music and using the darkside spell within the wood can happen.
Created by Sawa over centuries based on an instrument she used to play as a young woman. The six string is personalized and has been augmented with darkside magics to allow the fine force sensitive hairs from a jakobeast to project and as it is played create darkside webbing that spreads out. Force created tendrils to ensnare those around her and sap the force energies from them with enough time effectively se vering them for the force while they are trapped. She used it with
Nine Lives
when they were young in a way. her first being smashed in the raid on the academy where the two went when it was attacked by raiders. The neti wood being from a tree that was naturally force sensitive and slowly corrupted with the darkside. Nine Lives being dangerous to many and this being something she fashioned to contain and trap her if she should ever get free from her prison. One of the dangerous parts of it is the force itself with there being several means to remove the strengthening effects of it to reduce it down to wood. One of the things that Sawa worked on was different songs as she improved herself over the centuries. Different songs trigger a muscle reflex as she plays to focus magical spells and techniques of the darkside to let her preform different effects.
Over the years the instrument has been worked on. Sawa augmenting it with her magics and power... carefully designed to be a powerful tool in what she has the sith lord plays it from her fortress and with the augmentation it is able to be heard for miles on the wind and have an ethereal sound to draw attention. With small slips on it in the wood where small blades can be concealed.
