TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Classification: Plasma Kopis
• Size: Average
• Weight: Light

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Thumb activation switch with toggleable dead-hand circuit
• Bifurcating cyclical-ignition chamber: Allows plasma Edge to function under water
• No Dimetris-circuit - This modification ensures Cortosis will not short the plasma edge out.
• Crude Phobium emitter: An upgrade that works with the crystal to improve the cutting potential of the plasma edge per unit of energy used.
• Trapped grip with genetic scan
• Ghostfire crystal focuses energy through linear emitters placed in a shallow groove around the edge of the blade emitting a ghostly white/purple edge of plasma a few millimetres thick with the properties of a lightsaber.
• The ghostfire crystal leaves after images of the sword edge as it is weilded, potentially confusing melee opponents.
• The Voidmetal blade is light and strong and the alloy makes the blade invisible to and impossible to effect with the force.
  

STRENGTHS

• Ghostfire: The Ghostfire focussing crystal grants the weapon a cutting edge that is comparable to most lightsabers and creates a potentially distracting after image whilst wielded in combat.
• Voidmetal: The resilient voidmetal alloy is invisible to the force and unable to be affected by direct force powers.
• Tough blade: The particular voidmetal alloy is exceptionally resilient and can block an incoming lightsaber blade even with the plasma blade deactivated.

WEAKNESSES

• Power dependent: Without the plasma edge, the weapon is just an attractive mimic of a weapon. The blade isn't even sharp due to the plasma emitting groove around what would be the cutting edge.
• Limited reach: As a sword, it lacks the reach of longer weapons or the length extension afforded by dual phase lightsabers.
• Physical blade: It is a large physical blade so cannot be hidden inside an outfit or smuggled past security as easily as one might sneak a lightsaber hilt.
• Force suppresion: Astracite and by extension it alloy becomes less effective when in an area where the force is suppressed. However this is an negligible effect at its primary use in this sword is to prevent the force working on it.

DESCRIPTION

Jester learned to fight young and she honed her skills with fallen Jedi criminals. As her wealth grew she went through several weapons until she finally had the Void Phantom commissioned. This weapon combines several very expensive materials, some of which cost her favours, others, cold hard cash, but now she has a weapon that combines the many of the strengths of a light saber with the style that more closely matches her own fighting technique. It is her signature blade and a symbol of her martial prowess.​

Interesting one.

• You cannot delete any fields from the template, so please add the Affiliation to the template.
• Manufacturer, You need to link something here, if you don't have any specific, pick up any canon company or similar, also, please link your characters's bio.
• And please write an explanation to this, how it is possible without sorcery or alchemy? The crystal or the alloy does not grant this feature:
  

  While in the hand of the user it confers a much reduced level of this same protection to its wielder, making themharder to detect and affect with force powers.

• And please add to the weaknesses the Astracite's abilities are weaker in Force suppression/force nullification, in every form (so in this case too) I think it is a very important weakness, because in your sub it was important part the weapon grant protection.

MANIAC thank you for looking at this

• Readded the affiliation, field, not sure where it went from my gdoc
• added in a Canon organisation as manufacturer
• This is due to a misreading the word covered by in the sub. So have removed the effect of the protections in the wielder.
• I have added the force suppression effect but alloying process mostly removes the beneficial effects of the astracite anyway so I didn't mention it to begin with.

Thanks
