Description: Ghorua, with the help of Darth Orcus, has specifically designed this weapon to help him with more dangerous opponents, while also taking advantage of his superior strength and combat reflexes. After recent events, Ghorua has concluded that in order to face his fear of death, he has to spit in it's eyes. And, as we all know, there's no better way of doing this than a new toy.

The phrik casing of Trident gleams with a matte black paint job. The long, stainless shaft of the pike is collapsible at two points, making it a little easier to hang from a bandolier. When activated, the blade is a sky blue that glows softly on the dark aesthetics of the rest of the shaft.

On the butt of the staff, there is a pointed phrik blade, useful for if the saber itself falters. The end isn't vibro, but it would still be very dangerous in the hands of one such as the Shark. A Bifurcating cyclical-ignition allows Trident to be used underwater, as every whale loves a good swim every once in a while. Ttident is also almost impossible for most species to wield, as it's size hinders all but the largest.

Despite all of it's upsides, it does have a few weaknesses. Trident is extremely unwieldy in close-quarters, and this, coupled with it's immense size, makes it almost impossible to be used indoors. The weapon's design also makes fighting an experienced lightsaber duelist difficult, as one has to be mindful of their fingers when they block.

This is insanely heavy, even if the material were beskar I would request this be knocked down dramatically. 76 KG is more than the weight of the average human, heavier than the normal weight of a full suit of beskar'kandar (Mandalore's Armor), and several times heavier than a normal steel shaft of the same size.

Phrik is an ultra-light material, meaning it should be incredibly more light than standard metals. A sword that is roughly 140 cm (1.4m) is usually around 1-3 kg, such as a great sword. An alchemized sith sword, which causes the weight of the object to generally double-to-triple, is generally only around 3-6 kg. I would suggest lowering it down to something like 2 KG, maybe 1.7 KG. At most I'd be okay with 3-4 KG. Right now, however, this needs to drop.
