Though, unlike most light-sabers which have room for a second hand, the spinning light-sabers of Iziz are tighter, more condensed and leave no room for a two handed stance, reflecting the Jawa's fighting style miraculously. This allows the guard to be tighter to the hand, becoming a more effective guard than the wide open ambient space of the original spinning blades of the Jedi Inquisition (which was readily taken advantage of.). the reduction in size also benefits the spinning speed, the size allowing a faster Rp/m due to the smaller circumference. The final advantage of the smaller size entails that larger creatures with larger hands, simply cannot fit their grip behind the guard of Iziz's blade, making it unusable by beings of human size and higher.
For control, the weapons boast what seems to be a small 'T' shaped gearbox-like switch on the side of each blade. The switch controls the length of the beams as well as which of the blades are activated at any given time. Pushing the switch up or down toward either of the ends of the weapon ignites only the blade which faces that direction, at the length of 25, 50 & 70cm long at each of the three pressure points which lay at intervals down the switch. While another three pressure option, laying to the side between them, allows 'both' blades to be ejected at those sizes and intervals. The manual switch makes the weapons harder to be effected by techniques such as trakata, not giving them a button to simply switch off, as well as adding the user's thumb to overpower, while simultaneously enabling a greater range of skill and abilities for the user.
The only difference between each of the two blades, is one is powered by a high output Diatium power cell, giving it strong focused cutting power through its pontite crystal lens, making it able to hue all but strong Light-Saber resistant armour as if the substance it cleaved through didn't exist. While the other, is powered by a similarly high output Ion power-core, the strong focused blade becoming the bane of personal energy shields and sensitive electronics, however, while it can cut through undefended skin without effort, it is far less effective against Light-Saber resistant armours.
