Special Features:
- A cunningly designed folding system works in tandem with memory metal components. Almost the entire blade can collapse into the bulky hilt and grip.
- The extended blade includes vibrogenerators; the sword is a fully functional vibroblade.
- Grip, hilt, and blade are alchemized to the extent of a basic Sith sword (near-invulnerability, blaster deflection, lightning trap, ever-sharp Svolten rhyolite edges).
- (-) Extended combat may damage the blade's internal workings and prevent it from being retracted.
- (-) Especially significant force may break the blade into its interlocking component parts, wrecking the weapon utterly.
- (-) As with a standard Sith sword, the Clan Rekali Witchsword can attract, trap, and release lightning. However, doing so will fry the vibrogenerators, leaving the blade's edge inert.
- (-) As with a standard Sith sword, the Clan Rekali Witchsword is somewhat heavier than normal.
