Sith Sword Construction
The art of creating a Sith sword is a long and tedious one, requiring one to place oneself an an exile from outside influence for several days in order to even prepare for the upcoming construction. One has to be focused in mind, body, and soul in order to influence the magics needed to grant the created weapon its invulnerability and ability to channel Force power within its crystalline/metal construct.
The following is a set of instructions one must follow EXACTLY in order to end up with a finished product that may or may not work as desired. One must realize that the first few swords to be created will, in almost all cases, be failures. Only through vigilant concentration and the experience only making mistakes can grant, will one end with a perfect sword.
NOTE: The following instructions work both for Sith and Amonites, though the levels at which they shall be constructed will vary.
The following are a list of materials one needs in order to create the weapon.
Alchemical Apparatus- A large chamber used to mediate in, used to focus mind, body, and spirit and prepare them to harness Force power necessary for the construction of the sword.
Sand- Preferably from Korriban or another Dark Side planet. A Dark Side nexus may make a suitable substitute.
Fire- Using the Force to increase its intensity and ferocity, you will form the blade using this.
Talisman of Concentration- Worn during all periods of preparation and actual construction, this item can be either previously constructed elsewhere or made by the alchemist wanting to create the blade.
Now, with these components in mind, one steps into the alchemical apparatus for the three day construction period. Using the Talisman of Concentration to enhance one's connection to the Force, the alchemist mediates for several hours, using ancient techniques to strengthen the bond to the Dark Side. As this bond is eventually strengthened enough, the alchemist prepares a fire. Using stored Force energy, the fire is imbued with the Dark Side, giving it the intensity needed to forge the blade of the sword.
Whilst most blades shall be of a straight design, masters of the construction of blades may form curved ones as desired. Using the Force to mold the accumulated sand into the desired shape, the fire is used to melt it down, the Dark Side becoming ingrained into every molecule of silicon dioxide, every atom breaking down and reassembling to form the crystal that will give the blade its transparent hue. For two days, the blade is hammered and reformed, the Dark Side washing over it each time to give it the desired invulnerability and permanent razor edge it will possess for eternity.
Finally, the final portion of construction comes on the end of the third day. Using a combination of the alchemists own blood, Sith magics, and the Force, a Sith acid is used to etch certain runes into the cooled blade. These runes would be the Rune of Mastery, Rune of Protection, and Rune of Control. This combination will grant the alchemist his personal connection with his blade, and give it the ability to properly channel the Dark Side and repel a lightsaber attack. Once this act has been completed, the alchemist tests the blade to insure that it is of flawless design.
Once the blade has passed all tests, it is affixed to a hilt and is finished.
