- The mace head can be extended via an energy tether, outwards to 10 meters, wielded like a classic flail weapon. Microrepulsors in the mace head assist in launch and recall. The energy tether itself can shock and numb those who come in direct attack.
- Soleil is lightsaber resistant, and can deflect energy attacks projectiles (though this is more difficult to do as it's heftier than a lightsaber).
- The crystal spikes can be overcharged to emit a powerful burst of blinding red disruptor energy and concussive repulsor waves, potentially lethal within a 3-meter radius. After each use, capacitors require 60 seconds to refill for another burst.
- Bonded to Cyprian with Force alchemy, Soleil will emit searing lethal radiation when anyone other than him tries to wield the weapon.
- As a byproduct of Force Imbuement, Soleil can inflict damage on Force entities and other constructs (e.g. Sithspawn) on a metaphysical level.
- On direct hits, microrepulsors embedded within Soleil to emit repulsor waves that can inflict moderate damage against armored and shielded opponents even when its spikes fail to penetrate.
- The crystal spikes continuously emit low pulse of disruptor energy that can weaken molecular bonds with direct contact similarly to vibro-weapon mechanics, making targets more vulnerable to damage.
- AOE special attack.
- It's a large heavy weapon that requires some wind up between each swing to optimize damage. It can become unwieldy in confined quarters.
- The spikes cover the entire mace and can injure the wielder if the weapon was knocked back into them.
- Long charge times between use of AOE special. The AOE attack is indiscriminate, so care must be taken when used.
- When active, the weapon glows with bright crimson light that's easily visible.
- Being Force imbued, the weapon can easily be sensed in the Force, especially while active.
Soleil Cruel is Cyprian's primary melee weapon, personally forged during his days at a slave soldier in the Vatavi, made to crack and bludgeon heavy armor like the Beskar plate favored by Mandalorians. The primary source of damage comes from crystalline spike heads made from synthetic energy crystals suspended within a lommite lattice. Through alchemy, the crystal spikes were constructed to emit unstable disruptor energy when an electric current is applied. Microrepulsors were also installed in the mace head to enhance the concussive effects of the bludgeoning weapon.
Thanks to the addition of an energy tether, the weapon works well both for individual dueling, and engaging multiple in its flail form. Guns are always more efficient for the latter, but few elicit the terror of having a giant disintegrating spiked ball flying at your head.
