- "Darkening" effect
- Shrouded in Darkness: When used as a focusing crystal in a lightsaber or similar weapon, nightstone has a "darkening" effect similar to the light absorbing cell invented by the Kerestians. This effect extends to an approximately three meter radius.
- I Am Also Quite Blind: The wielder of the weapon is also left in the dark. To get around this handicap, they would have to wear infrared or ultraviolet scanners into battle, or rely on the Force to see.
This naturally occurring crystal is native to Lao-mon, where it has been harvested by the native Shi'ido for centuries. While its most common modern usage is in jewelry, it has various other uses. When used as a focusing crystal, nightstone bends light by generating an electromagnetic field, creating a "darkness field" in the immediate vicinity. The Shi'ido would use it to confuse the predators of their homeworld, as well as disorient sentient foes.
