Manufacturer: T'zanith, Shawken's royal blacksmiths
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Shawken's royalty
Modularity: No
Production: Unique
Material: Songsteel / Alusteel alloy blend, Brylark tree handle with a silvery gold Dantari crystal crested in the gross-guard.
Classification: long-Sword
Size: One-handed/Two-handed
Length: total: 130 cm blade: 105 cm Hilt: 25 cm
Weight: 3 kg
Special Features:
Impervious to lightsabers and Blasters capable of redirecting blaster bolts and beams just like a lightsaber.
Capable of having the force channeled through it
Extremely durable
Alchemically sharpens the focus of the wielder as well as amplifying the wielders power and refining their control until they became a walking nexus of force power.
Due to the crystal married to the blade in the hilt the blade allows the wielder to better focus on recovering spent Force energies, occasionally recycling the fierce, wild energy of combat to the wielder to fuel their Force power.
Strengths:
Sharpness: This blade has been alchemized to be eternally as sharp as possible to the point of being almost able to cut through materials like a lightsaber would.
Durable: Thanks to the blades metal alloy composition it's extremely durable and made even more so with alchemy.
Force: The blade is capable of being used as a conduit for the force to be channeled through. As well as to increase the recovery speed of the wielder.
Strength and Weakness.
Bloodline: This blade can only be wielded by those of the T'zanith Bloodline. If anyone wields the blade outside the bloodline a searing pain will inflict them. If the T'zanith bloodline dies out this blade will become useless since only that bloodline can wield it. To achieve this there is a ritual designed and created by T'zanith himself that is needed to perform to bind the blade to the next in line to have it. If the weilder dies before passing on the ritual to the next in line the blade functions much like any simple force imbued weapon and all of it's abilties and added effects will be locked away until the blade's ritual is performed to bind it to the weilder.
Force Lightning: This ability is the only force power that can be taken into the blade to be discharged from it at a later date, this energy can come from someone other than it's weilder if used in much the same way a lightsaber is sometimes employed to block force lightning.
Weaknesses:
Heavy: This blade is a little heavier than normal blades.
Description:
A recreation of the fabled blade of Shawken, wielded by the first King of Shawken long ago in it's ancient past. Lost when the sith attacked Shawken during the great hyperspace war now another forged out of better materials that should allow it to last for eons longer than the previous one. After pouring through the history of Shawken and it's people the current ruler, T'zanith first of his name, decided to reforge the fabled Blade of Shawken to embolden his people and to serve as an heirloom that would be passed down from parent to child in the Zebron royal family.
Utilizing both ancient Sahwken Crafting techniques and a mixture of the processes to create the Force-imbued blade of the old Je'daii order and the ancient Sith sword creating techniques to make the blade completely immersed in the force as a whole with neither the dark side or light side predominantly stronger than the other.
With a Dantari crystal married into the pommel of the blade as well as the lattices of the crystal and the blade itself woven together in a harmonious symbiosis, lightly akin to how lightsabers and thier crystals are. While a normal force-imbued blade glows when the Force is coursing through it, this blade doesn't. Instead what normally would be such a glow around the blade the glow manifests itself in lightning like striations along the blade when the wielder channels the force through it. SInce the blade is imbued with the Force itself it's properties are enhanced well beyond what a normal sword can do. The blade is almost supernaturally strong and sharp. Like with a lightsaber it's capable of cutting effortlessly through most materials but when it comes to reinforced metals like durasteel it'll take a little more effort to effectively cut through. According to legends force-imbued blades such as this are also capable of damaging and even possibly destroying force spirits.
Through use of the force during the forgin process to alter the molecular structure into a lattice like structure has made the blade much stronger and sharper than any normal force imbued weapon like the force blades of the Je'daii or the anciend sith swords. By reversing its magnetic polarity during the same process turns the blade into something akin to a high-temperature superconductor that can deflect blaster bolts and other particle weapons as if magnetically sealed as it is in effect naturally sealed in such a manner.
The rare songsteel used in its construction is as immune to lightsabers in the similar alloys such as cortosis and Phrik alloy, while its polished surface reflects laser beams and other coherent light weapons like a mirror. The most significant ability of the weapon is perhaps the fact that the weapon serves as a sort of focus for the force energies of its wielder, amplifying their power and refining their control until they became like a walking nexus of force power however it was this same property that turned the metal of the blade pitch black.
The weapon's magnetic properties and combined with its attraction to the Force force as a whole, causes it to react unusually to discharges of Force lightning or other such electrically oriented force attacks. The blade will attract and absorb the energy, though it will require to be either the weilder or used in much the same way as when lightsabers are used to block force lightning, storing it like a capacitor until the blade makes contact with a substantial physical object, That almost immediately the amplified force energy is discharged to devastating effects at times.
The blade requires a ritual created specifically to it to allow the next in line of it's succession to hold the blade. If not performed the next in line will have a simple force imbued weapon on their hands that carries none of the other benefits that the blade can provied.
