I'll need a better source on the image - Google image search, or TinEye, should do it.

Amplifier: Pur'makyl serves as a focus point to harness the Dark Side and turns the wielder into a walking Dark Side nexus if they are powerful enough and have a strong enough connection to the blade.

Going to need a bit more detail on this one, limits, etc., but I'd prefer if you scrapped it altogether. That's a canon property that's best assigned to the kind of mastercraft sword that usually requires a dev thread with a highly skilled alchemist.

Heavens knows I harp on about this, but a 25kg Warhammer is a massively heavy thing. Even for a walking whale, do you honestly think he can use this for long without tiring?

Given that he’s not human, I would strongly suggest lowering the weight to say…10kg. You can still deliver a titanic amount of force with a weapon like that…heavier than any weapon used on Earth.

Let me know your thoughts.

This is quite different than Ashin's megasword.

I understand the concerns with realism, but this is honestly very feasible.

Hion is ~800 pounds and 7'2". Not to mention that the orbalisks covering his body give him increased strength. I'd imagine he can swing around 55 pounds, which is only 7% of his total body mass.

Comparatively, the picture is of a very real 10 pound hammer. Which would equate to ~7% of my total body mass. Could I swing it? Yeah. Would I be exhausted after a few swings? Yeah, but I'm not an orbalisk-enhanced Dark Sider.

I'll drop it to 20kg

Decent trade off, makes sense.

Approved.
