Description:
This was Lynn's first lightsaber she built which took her a while. While she already owned the Mace Windu Lightsaber, she wanted to make her own lightsaber based off Windu's lightsaber build. The lightsaber is build off her agile and quick fighting style. The hilt is made from the ultralight Phrik to protect it from lightsabers without adding weight. Using the techniques reserved for senior jedi council members of the Old Republic by adding a Electrum finish to them. She finally wrapped part of the saber in leather for added grip.

Inside the blade are three crystals, the lightsaber standard. Two are blue Dantari Crystal found on Dantoonie with the third and middle one being a Durindfire Gem . The crystal colours come together to make an icy blue colour. The crystals also provides lens with a close connection to the Force helping her recover quicker.

Lastly, she found a rare lens called the Adegan lens that she used on the saber to give it even more focusing power that gives the blade a hotter blade to give it more power. Ie if it takes to cut through a door 10 seconds, this blade can do it in 7. If armor can take 3 hits in one spot, this one only takes two. The hilt itself is a work of art, but the insides are basic parts except the lens.

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

First up, please fill out the template fully (I.E. the 'Special Features' section) or mark fields w/ no entry as 'N/A'.

Secondly, as much as I appreciate the humor, please remove the second weakness on this sub.

Thirdly.. I'd like to see 3 good weaknesses to balance out the strengths, minimum. This is a masterwork as a padawan's first saber...

Also, as a note on the dantari, I've typically not seen lightsaber crystals stack effects, so you might consider removing one, or if you really want to push three, finding a new one. I'd recommend removing it. As it is, if it remains, I'm only willing to say you get the effect of one Dantari crystal.

Suggestions to help balance:

• What are the specific effects of the Nextors volatility? You could draw more weaknesses from here, or make the one better
• What conditions (environmental, battle, etc..) could this weapon be made or is already vulnerable to?
• Try and better define features like 'a little more power' or how quickly you recover Force Powers or such.

Please, if you have any questions, feel free to tag me! Very ambitious for your first swing at things!

Whoops, didn't notice I missed that.

That was a weakness, not meant to be funny really. Removed anyhow. Seemed like a pretty good weakness honestly.

I made such changes as asked, but defining how it helps Force recovery I am unsure. I was mainly going to play it out that it prevents her from tiring out so quickly and remain focused longer. Got any suggestions?

Taking it over for Julius.

I am uncomfortable with the effect you are attributing to the Dantari crystal. I actually played the games where this is from and they did not actually give such a power boost, as much as just allowed you to recover spend energy a little bit faster, but that's game mechanics more so than anything else.

I am fine with you stating that the Dantari crystal allows the wielder to recover faster from their Force usage, but bumping up a Padawan to a Knight isn't something I'd stamp without it being a moderate artifact with development behind it.

Fair enough, I was wanting the recovery really. Just adding the other effect because it was in the wiki. I'll just cut it out.

Awesome. Pending Factory Mentor Review.
