Special Features:
- Metal is functionally immune to lightsabres, blasters, kinetic damage, etc.
- Can easily cut metal up to, but not limited to, high-grade alloys like durasteel
- Deflects blaster fire
- When in possession of a person other than Ijaat without defeating/killing him or the sword being given to them by Ijaat, becomes immensely heavy and cumbersome. The longer it is away from him, the less this effect becomes as the sword recognizes it's 'new owner'
- Without proper training with the blade, has the side effect of increasing and amping negative emotions to beyond the wielders control, namely anger and grief, but any qualify. Even with training, it is still a struggle for control.
- Increases the ability and reaction time of the wielder to pretenatural speed and reflexes. A non-force user is affected by this. A proper wielder of the blade will move as fast as someone, say a Jedi Knight proficient in the ability, using Force Speed, if properly trained and mastered the blade. Using Force Speed while wielding this blade doesn't have a cumulative enhancement.
- Ability to absorb/deflect all forms of electricity/lightning/sith lightning, but unable to expel/reuse or redirect it
Description:
Elegance. Elegance from a by-gone era. Doubled edged with a beautiful flowing lined and unparalelled yet subtle grain speaking of folded metal and an almost wood grain look, this blade was made as both implement of death and show of art. The belt bindings are braided crosh, with electrum detailings and coins, holding up a worshyr scabbard banded and strapped in durasteel, decorated with laqcuer paint to detail and bring artistry to the piece, with even some inlays of electrum and patinated durasteel sunk into the wood in the form on mando'a script detailing the ancient Taung poem 'Rage of the Shadow Warriors'.
The blade is a work of beauty, being desh-terenthium alchemized and sharpened and honed to a razorsharp edge such that when forged by the ancient smith who made it, it's first proofing test was to cut through a simple durasteel blade in one lucky strike. It passed, if barely. All throughout it are inlays of corsuca gems and electrum, forming a dazzling display of scroll work and other fanciful decoration. Edge profiling and sharpening is so keen it can often easily slice and cut other blades in half, or even chip and bite the toughest of tough if enough hits are taken.
The handle is veshok wood wrapped in kryat dragon hide tanned and softened with extreme applications of bantha-butter and other reagents to give it almost a silken feel. The guard and pommel of the handle are primarily electrum and durasteel in a mokume alloy, with the durasteel being the primary part of them and the electrum being more of a detail/secondary element.
Overall, in hand, the blade moves like a dream, floating like a silk in the wind, agile, deadly and quick to strike, the blade seems to inspire the mover to become fast, reacting and striking or parrying like a flit of the most agile hummingbird on the wind, and indeed when drawn by the rightful owner it would be deadly to face in combat, and it glows with a faint golden sheen to the eye.

Note: This was spoken of with [member="Spencer Jacobs"] during the event and authorized by them, and the dev thread was to detail the abilities and making of the blade, which I believe I have done in a unique but viable manner for Ijaat given there was little way for him to tell otherwise. I am happy to work with staff in any way to make sure this is acceptable.
