TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Lightsaber
• Size: Average

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Designed to echo the oppressive reputation of the original, the weapon may leave even non-sensitives with a low, instinctive unease when kept too near it.
• Force-sensitives aligned to the Light who are struck by the blade, or foolish enough to handle it, may suffer headaches, nausea, mental strain, and difficulty focusing, effects comparable to Force Exhaustion, Crush Opposition, Subjugation, Mind Shard, and Suppress Thoughts.
• Those who attempt to wield it without the proper affinity may be met with a dark-side backlash, often accompanied by hatred and rapid spiritual corruption.
• On a successful strike, the blade leeches life and Force energy from the target; this drain is slower against stronger sentients, but lesser creatures and plant life may wither faster beneath it.
• Those touched by the weapon may feel agonizing cold and a rush of invasive emotion meant to cloud judgment and pull the mind toward darker impulses.
• Its influence feeds the bearer a constant stream of dark encouragement, functioning like a twisted battle meditation meant only for the wielder.
• The weapon grants a Battlemind-like sharpening of combat awareness, alongside heightened stamina and strength.
• It can carry the wielder forward in a state similar to Crucitorn, allowing them to press on through wounds and exhaustion they should no longer be able to ignore.
• Its empowerment often blooms through dark emotional states comparable to Focused Rage or Berserker Rage, depending on the bearer.
• Bound Force Resistance principles help the weapon and its wielder better endure hostile Force interference while the blade is active.
• Stacked Crystal Assembly: The weapon houses a tuned multi-crystal matrix, allowing several support crystals to shape the blade's behavior alongside its primary core.
  • Crystal Matrix: The saber's crystal arrangement refines the blade's temperament and governs how its Force-bound effects present in combat.
  • Lorrdian Gemstone: A Lorrdian gemstone heightens perception of hostile movement, helping the wielder read incoming strikes and blaster fire with sharpened defensive awareness.
  • Permafrost Crystal: A Permafrost crystal infuses the blade with frost-laden Force energy, giving each strike a colder, more biting feel in line with the weapon's agonizing chill.
  • Life Drain Crystal: A Life Drain crystal reinforces the saber's parasitic qualities, allowing successful strikes to siphon vitality from opponents and return strength to the bearer.
  • Meditation Crystal: A Meditation Crystal deepens focus, steadies stamina, and helps the wielder maintain composure and energy through prolonged combat.

STRENGTHS

• Sharpens the wielder’s combat focus while feeding greater stamina, strength, and endurance.
• Turns landed strikes into a source of stolen strength for the bearer.
• Undermines victims through pressure on mind, body, and Force control.
• Allows the wielder to continue fighting through pain, fatigue, and mounting damage.
• Particularly punishing to lightsiders who try to touch, study, or wield it directly.

WEAKNESSES

• It steadily corrupts its bearer, deepening dark emotion and weakening judgment the longer it is relied upon.
• Its false endurance can leave the wielder blind to their true condition until the blade is lowered and the body gives way.
• Its benefits are selfish; companions in close quarters may find prolonged exposure unsettling or dangerous.
• Force suppression, Force nullification, and similar effects can hinder or strip away much of its supernatural bite.
• Void stone and comparable anti-Force measures may interfere with its influence.
• Force-dead targets may feel little, if any, of its more esoteric effects.
• Like a standard lightsaber, it may still be resisted by certain materials, and cortosis remains a danger to the blade.
• It is not indestructible.
• Its stacked crystal matrix demands careful harmonization; cracks, poor tuning, or misalignment between the crystals may destabilize the weapon and blunt its performance.

DESCRIPTION
This weapon is not the original Soulsaber, but a replica shaped in answer to the legend that surrounds it. Rather than laying claim to the singular relic, this version seeks to reproduce its general pattern of hateful presence, corruptive contact, and strength-draining violence through disciplined Force craft fixed into a weapon-form.

The Soulsaber Replica stands as a modern recreation of an infamous design. Its frame was prepared through Alchemy and anchored through principles akin to Imbue Item and Force weapon. What results is a cursed saber that weakens those it touches while feeding stolen vitality back into its bearer. It sharpens awareness, feeds stamina, and urges the wielder onward through strain and injury, yet every use asks something back. The more strength it offers, the deeper it draws its bearer into corruption.
