Songsteel - Windu's Guile
- Wild Force Shard
- Classification: Fans
- Size: Average
- Weight: Average
- Can absorb and redirect Force Lightning
- Force Alchemised, can block lightsabers and reflect blaster bolts
- Sharpened tips each vane of the fan.
- The Windu's Guile crystals infused into the songsteel are attuned to Naedira, through the allowing her to wield the fans like extensions of her body.
- The blades are also decorated with a particulate made up of fragments of wild force shard, allowing the fans to both enhance Naedira's use of the force, and to make it much easier for her to telekinetically manipulate the fans.
- Fans: They're fans, good for looking good and keeping you cool, oh and they're also pretty decent weapons
- Sharpened Tips: The tips of the blades have been sharpened down to a mono-molecular edge, the slightest touch will part cloth and allow Naedira to slice through armour.
- Linked: The metal of the Songsteel fans is imbued with a particulate of Windu's Guile crystals turning both fans into focusing tools for Naedira's use of the force. The link also allows Naedira to command the fans with her mind as if they were an extension of her body.
- Force Crystals: The patterns inscribed on the surface of the fans are made of an ink of fragments of a Wild Force Shard, lessening the energy required to manipulate them, while at the same time allowing the fans in turn to boost Naedira's abilities by providing an increase in raw power.
- Alchemised: Like all Alchemised weapons the Nine Heavens are in effect a Sith sword, only in a new form, as such they are nigh indestructible, and are capable of blocking lightsabers and redirecting blaster bolts as needed.
- The fans have a larger surface area than most weapons, making it easier for them to be used defensively, to block blasters and other attacks
- In the presence of a force negating field the fans loose their force imbued abilities, resulting in a pair of tough sharp metal fans.
- Unlike a sword which is built as a weapon of war, the Fan's offensive abilities are much reduced only really the tips of the fans can be used to attack.
- While the fan can be used as a shield against attacks it lacks the heft of a shield, and so should primarily be used to parry not block. When blocking it is very easy for the weight of an opponents attack to drive the fans back, potentially creating holes in your defences.
The force existed, and it wasn't going anywhere, that was a truth of the galaxy and John had long since given up on trying to trying to understand where it came from, or how it worked. His time spent working with the Silver Jedi and the CIS more than proved that to him. Instead he turned his attention onto something else, not the understanding of the force but onto one specific application of it. Force Alchemy. Although John himself couldn't access the force, he studied the process of Alchemy and hired those who could, while it might never be more than a small element of Locke and Key, it was going to be an interesting one.
The fan's themselves were an ambitious project, before they were even forged the metal was imbued with shards of a Windu's Guile crystal, effectively turning it into a giant focus for the force. They were then carefully forged and sharpened before the blades decorations were inlaid, using an ink of Wild Force Shard fragments. Now ready the blades were passed on to the alchemists to take the constructs and make them into a capable, yet surprising weapon. And a stylish accessory to boot.
