- Blaster Defense: Balun's lightsaber is of a standard model with variable frequencies of power channelled by the blade emitter, as all Lightsabers are capable of, this weapon can deflect and parry blaster fire, providing the ammunition is energy-based. Slugs, on the other hand, are likely to melt; however, they can be turned into molten shrapnel at such velocity if the blade is used in defence.
- Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse: The addition of the Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse allows for the use of the lightsaber underwater, protecting the interior components from being damaged, and ensuring the activation of the blade when submerged.
- Standard Model Lightsaber: This weapon is a standard model of lightsaber that is utilized by Force Users. Against another single blade, this Lightsaber may prove an equal match; however, when facing Jar'Kai users or those of the Staff model of Lightsabers, the competence of the user falls to skill in combat rather than the readiness of the weapon itself.
- Entry-level Design: As Balun is still young and has barely started to train as an Apprentice, his lightsaber is therefore limited by his knowledge and skill in the creation of the weapon. Materials used in the creation of this lightsaber are all considerably commonplace and cheaply purchased. The resistances of the hilt of the weapon are rather rudimentary, and there is little about this weapon to make it stand out from the rest, aside from its aesthetics. This is, in all means, a standard lightsaber made by a young Apprentice.
The hilt of the lightsaber is crafted from a sleek, matte black metal, giving it a sophisticated and stealthy appearance. Its surface is adorned with intricate gold filigree designs, delicately etched into the metal, reminiscent of ancient symbols or patterns. These golden accents catch the light and shimmer with a subtle glow when the lightsaber is ignited, adding a regal touch to its overall look.
The activation button, typically located near the emitter, is made of polished gold. It stands out against the dark backdrop of the hilt. When pressed, it emits a soft, pulsating light before the blade ignites with a vibrant hum.
The blade itself is a brilliant beam of pure energy, emitting a radiant golden hue that contrasts strikingly against the darkness of space or the dimly lit interiors of starships and ancient temples. The golden light dances and flickers as the wielder wields the lightsaber with precision and skill.
Overall, this black and gold lightsaber is not only a formidable weapon but also a symbol of refinement and power, reflecting the elegance and strength of its wielder.
