- The heart of the sword: Like so many lightsabers around the galaxy this blade hosts a small Kyber crystal imbedded in the hilt of the blade. This crystal has been deeply attuned to the Dark Side of the Force and linked to Adron Malvern. While the crystal grants few properties in the realm of combat it allows the it's master to always know the whereabouts of the blade and even heightens his own natural senses when his is within close proximity of his blade.
- Alchemized blade: Adron's blade has been specially alchemized via the Dark Side of the Force. While the blade was already incredibly durable it is now incredibly difficult to damage and requires substantial force to even blemish the metal.
- Devaronian blood-poison edge: Perhaps some of the most painful poisons in the galaxy, the blood poison of Dathomir makes for an incredibly painful toxin. The edge of this blade has been infused with such an edge that will inflict unyielding pain on the recipient until it has been purged from their system.
Strengths:
- Hidden blade: This sword was designed to act as a hidden weapon that can be openly carried by Adron Malvern to some of his more formal events. The blade of this weapon is safely sheathed within the base of a cane made of a tempered Plasteel casing. When sheathed the weapon appears as an ordinary, however lavish, walking cane.
- Alchemized blade: This blade is capable of withstanding substantial assault due to the extremely powerful alchemization placed on it. This allows the sword to channel electricity with some proficiency and makes it difficult to blemish or lose it's razor sharp edge.
- Blood-poison: The poisoned edge this weapon uses makes it nearly nightmarish to even be scratched by the blade. If the poison is released into the hosts blood stream it will send the recipient into a feeling of unimaginable pain. Even touching the blade yields an extremely painful sensation, however if the poison is released into the bloodstream then the pain will not end until medical attention is sought out to cure the body of the toxin.
- Light: The blade itself is a wonderfully light sword. Weighing just a bit over a pound it allows the user to wield it with exceptional speed and maneuverability. Though the blade would have been even lighter if it did not go through the empowerment of Alchemization it is still formidably fast.
- Self-harm: The poison used on this blade knows no master. It is just as deadly to Adron as it is to any other who comes in contact with it. Due to this careful consideration must be taken on how an when to use this blade as well as what forms could be most practical with such a hellish poison infused in the metal.
- Connection: This blade has a special connection to Adron that allows him to track the blades whereabouts even over very large distances. Of course this connection can be used in reverse. Through the power of The Force a powerful wielder can use Adron's blade to track him through the far reaches of the galaxy as well as cut off his own connection to the blade's whereabouts.
- Shorter reach: The sword is slightly smaller than what Adron is used to wielding. Because of this as well as the lighter weight it requires some getting used to so It can be wielded to perfection. Also, with it's shorter blade it can be easily outmatched by a superior blade.
In the modern galaxy Adron needed a powerful weapon that could be carried to his more regal events. As he is a man of class and station it is not out of the ordinary to see the man sporting a nobleman's walking cane. Rather than continue to use one of the generic canes that he had been using for years he commissioned the creation of a new cane. Encased in a sleek Plasteel sheathe with a special Woodoo casing the cane has a particular ebony shine to it. The head of the cane is made with an ornate Phrik design that further masks the true nature of the cane.
The blade is hidden within the Plasteel casing yet can be easily accessed by turning the head of the cane clockwise until a series of three subtle clicks sound. After the third click the head of the cane will be ejected from it's sheathe allowing the user to wield the weapon. Extremely durable and designed to withstand sustained combat the sword is a magnificent yet difficult blade to wield. Due to it's extremely light weight the blade cannot be easily detected as a sword within the cane. A useful tool, the blade is rather short for a sustained combat weapon yet lacks none of the deadliness.
Perhaps the greatest asset and most dangerous component to the sword is it's poisoned edge. Adron habitually used Devaronian blood-poison to augment his blades. This special poison can leave a person in unimaginable pain, even the wielder. While it is not always the most practical toxin to be used in a blade meant for self-defense it is the most effective.
