I have another question, about the use of cortosis in a slicewire wire. Slicewire is a micro-thin wire that is used as a weapon of sorts and is so thin that it can basically cut through most materials, which range across several canon materials, with little difficulty. If cortosis is compounded upon this, it makes it resistant to what is essentially a major weakness of it, and there is currently a submission which includes cortosis in the wire used for their new weapon (which is glove-mounted). The post is nice and neat and everything, and I was just wondering if I should ask for another development thread involving the creation of the wire for it, though they have two threads they are using for development purposes by mentioning its applied use throughout but none which detail its exact creation. I haven't found a post in either of their development threads that source the cortosis' origin either, which I will mention in my reply to their post, but I was wondering if I am off-base requesting another thread specifically for that.
Note: If I do request it, I am also giving an explanation for why I want one included, and a suitable replacement for it in order to edit and avoid requiring a development thread. The reason I feel more uneasy about this is because they explicitly list out removing its theoretical weakness by using cortosis that is concentrated enough to wrap around sabers but not enough to deactivate them.
On another note, do we have a thread that is already made for us to discuss situations like this? I don't want to flood this one when it's basically not on the same topic, even if related. If not, I'll make one. (I haven't seen one).

Hmm. After researching a bit this is what I found.
A
slicewire was a
melee weapon available to
Infiltrators. The one-
meter-long cord was molecule-thin and wrapped around
carbonite handles on each end and was strong enough to cut through most materials, even
duranium and
plasteel. It could be used in a manner similar to a
garrote, or swung like a lash at enemies. The danger of handling this weapon meant it was only issued to expert users.
Devaronian Blood Poison -In addition to this, sometimes the jewel was ground down into a powdered form, and then administered into molten metals to be formed into blades and swords. Said
Devaronian edges created unendurable pain just by touching the blade to skin, and should the blade break the skin, not only would the unendurable pain last until the wound was healed, but the edge also had the chance of releasing the jewels infamous toxins into the bloodstream of an opponent.
Cortosis-- cortosis a useful material for anti-lightsaber melee weapons, though with repeated strikes, a lightsaber could still cut through it. Cortosis, due to its heat and energy resistant properties, was also resistant to blaster fire.
Hmm, it is my humble opinion, that these could be some options for you
Approved without a Dev thread
Add notable mentions an increased chance of the slice wire possibly snapping, due to being affixed to a glove.
Sans blood poisoning -- as this deals with advanced metalgurgy ( is that a word?) of the grinding and addition of the crystal into the creation of the wire itself.
Approved with Dev thread
Add notable mentions an increased chance of the slice wire possibly snapping, due to being affixed to a glove.
Cortosis with the small chance to give devonarian blood poisoning --- Creation thread with X amount of posts
That's to show that at least, it still has some measure of weakness of potentially snapping from her attached finger.. glove thing...
I hope that makes sense?
Maybe the other FJ's may have some better imput.
