    DESCRIPTION
    Created in a Mandolorian Forge deep in the caves of Dathomir, this crystal is designed to call upon the remnants of the fallen Mando'ade of Mandalore, from The Night of A Thousand Tears. It is created from Trinitite which is the crystal created by the fusion rays striking the surface of Mandalore, being put through a process not disimilar to the process used to make Kyber crystals bleed. This process was however performed a bit more crudely and in in the Forge of Clan Shakti. The idea here is to create a crystal that pulses with the dark energy of the fallen Mando'ade, and their fierce will to fight on even after death. In the hands of a Mandolorian Force User it enhances battle precognitions as the shades inside the crystal warn the wielder of incoming attacks and threats, and even cause the blade itself to pop and sizzle when wielded against the enemies of the Mando'Ade. That being said should the wielder abandon The Way, and turn against his own people this blade would punish him worse than it would punish any enemy, destroying the lightsaber it's housed in and possible the hands of the Auretti. Specifically because of the fact that it was done in a more dathomirian way the crystal has awoken a sort of combined sentience of those damned during The Night of a Thousand Tears, this sentience uses The Force to read the intent of those around it, acting as a bit of an early warning system for those aligned with the Mando'Ade and punishing those who are not. It is important to note that this sentience is not singular but more collective in nature and therefore can be a bit overwhelming at times to those trying to listen to or meditate with the blade.

How does it know this? What defines an enemy? Is the crystal sentient and able to tell the difference?

The crystal bears a sort of sentience that reads intent through the force.

Krass Wyms I updated to the description to go more in depth about this.

That is a level of sentience to a crystal verging on either a species unto itself or something as strong as the darkstaff. Kyber crystals had a level of sentience and could resist bleeding. They chose and could call out to force users. Crystals like solari reacted to darksiders at a base level. A crystal reacting to a force user of a specific alignment. This level isn't going to to pass and will need to be reduced. A crystal enhancing precognitive power easily done. Being able to keep a light or dark force user from utilizing it sure... but sentient enough to know intentions, think and invade the mind of a user while aware of what is around itself. No.

I want to make it clear im not trying to argue so much as i am trying to understand. Droids have sentience and can be used as an early warning system and I have seen lightsaber crystals in this forum with souls inside them that talk to the user before, so I am confused as to what it is about this submission that is problematic specifically.

A droid is programmed for such a thing. It being an early detection system will still have limitations and can be countered. A early warning in the form of battle precognition doesn't really alter things. It is easily passed.

A crystal with a soul generally converses, affects and has an area of influence restricted to the one using it. It being able to sense the intention, feeling of everything so it can self modify its own power levels against a vague 'enemies'. It being able to bypass any mental shields a use might have to know their intentions if they hold it so it can blow up. Is not the same level of a soul trapped or enhanced kyber sentience. It verges toward the darkstaff which was an intelligent force artifact able to manipulate itself and others. A crystal that gets stronger with an appropiate weaknesses tied to it when the wielders mental state changes. Doable, a crystal that is so bonded to a force user it won't function and even resist anyone else doable. Being able to sense and bypass any mental defenses that could be used to hide intentions. It is the same as having absolute language in a sub.

If you have been looking at previous submissions then you know that the factory does not operate on precedent as new rules both written and unwritten until the winter update might have changed. You would also see a number of crystals or items with a similar level of sentience to know what thousands were doing were either denied or heavily edited to scale down the levels of power.

I am going to move this to the pre-factory so that you can work on it at your leisure
