Drastically Increases Light Adept's ability to predict the attacks of Dark Adepts in combat

Drastically increases ability to sense the direction of traveling blaster bolts

Grants High Resistance to the Dark Side

STRENGTHS

Sensor Sweep: When installed in a Lightsaber, this Crystal Drastically increases a Force Adepts Force Sense Capability, enabling them to detect threats from longer ranges as well as sense in greater detail what kind of threat they are facing, due to the large infusion of Light Side Energy forcibly joined to the crystal, the enchantments that allow these stones to function making sure that such energy is channelled towards enhancing basic sense powers down certain routes on a reproducible basis

Bolt Sense: When installed in a Saber, the user is better able to sense the direction of blaster bolts, aiding in deflection, due to the light side in the stone massively amping up the ability to detect energy flow

Predictor: The wielder of a blade with this Crystal can better sense the intent of Dark Aligned beings in combat, potentially allowing them a better than average chance to evade or counter their attacks, due to the powerful enchantments in the crystal drastically increasing the User's Force Perceptions to hone in on the Dark Side. While not perfect, as the enemy can counter this by hiding their Force Presence or using Force Suppression, the advantage is clear for whoever bears such a crystal

Dark Shield: Grants the user a High resistance to the Dark Side due to both enchantments and the way the Light was forced into it

WEAKNESSES

Force Voids: Will not function in Force Voids

Slugthrowers: Slugthrower rounds splash against the blades, causing damage to the user, and possibly knocking it from their hands

Electric Blunting: While it can grind lightning (resist Force Lightning hitting it's blade), doing so prevents the blade from being able to cut anything for a few minutes after

Paddle Beams: Paddle Beams travel around the blade

Water: Exposure to water Shuts it off for about thirty seconds


DESCRIPTION

"Synthetic Seeker Crystals: For the Jedi who does not wish to have the limits on how powerful their senses could be dictated by The Jedi Council."

--Sales Pitch

Synthetic Seeker Crystals are simulated seeker Crystals, attempting to reproduce the natural Crystal's effect to the closest degree possible. Yet another product secretly made by The Cult of Darth Themis, were it known IC that these crystals were made by forced instead of natural infusion of the Light, it is highly probable that many Jedi would refuse to put these in their blades, no matter how protective against the Dark Side they are, just on moral principal alone...a fact the Serpents and Xiphos find a delightful irony

Laertia Io Hello, I'll be judging this app.

• Market Status: Open Market
• Model: N/A
• Modularity: No
• Production: Unique

You have a unique crystal which is affiliated with 3 characters, and open market. You need to change the market to closed, and the item to semi unique if you'd like to keep its affiliations the same.

Synthetic Lightsaber Crystal

you've linked the wrong crystal thread, it has no info.

• Classification: Synthetic Lightsaber Crystal
• Weight: Very Light
• Color: Translucent pink stone, producing a carnation pink blade in a lightsaber, even down to its core
• Resistances:
  • Energy: None
  • Kinetic: None
  • Lightsabers: None
  • Vibro: None
  • Acid: None
  • Cryo: None
  • Flame: None
  • Electricity: None
  • Dark Side: High

This is obviously a very underpowered app with all the nones and none of the 'averages' Are you sure you'd like to keep it this way? remember that average is always in context of what the item is, so, for a piece of refined crystal, it will be pretty low regardless.

Bolt Sense: When installed in a Saber, the user is better able to sense the direction of blaster bolts, aiding in deflection

You mention a thing, but not how it achieves this, does it enhance their ability to see? does it enhance sensory powers? When it comes to broad effects which are not really present in canon, you need to do a better job to inform people not just what it does, but how it works. So that it can't just be interpreted on the fly. This goes for every app. we dont require this on say, a blaster pistol. Because we all know how blaster pistols work. But force artifacts etc need more.

Predictor: The wielder of a blade with this Crystal can better predict the attacks of Dark Adepts

How?

Dark Shield: Grants the user a High resistance to the Dark Side

How?

Slugthrowers: Slugthrower rounds splash against the blades

What do you mean splash against the blades? This needs to be elaborated on more.

Electric Blunting: While if can grind lightning, doing so prevents the blade from being able to cut anything for a few minutes after

What do you mean by grind lightning? I have a feeling I've asked you this before. If you mean a lightsaber's ability to block or deflect force lightning or other electricity. You should say that.

Need four more days, Felix Aquila

No problem, after those four days though, these will be moved to pre-factory again and you'll need to get them moved.

Thanks for letting me know

24 hour heads up before this is moved.

Predictor: The wielder of a blade with this Crystal can better predict the attacks of Dark Adepts, due to the Light Side in the stone

My only worry is this section here, its open ended and rife for abuse. I think I understand what you're trying to go for, this stone has enhanced sensory abilities. And as a light side aligned stone, its ability to sense the dark side is especially amplified. So to those who use it, the stone would give the user insight as to how its being used to better sense their actions and intents. I think something like "The wielder of a blade with this crystals ability to sense the power of the dark side is especially enhanced, allowing them some insight to dark side abilities and the intents behind them should they be nearby" or something would be better.

But as it stands, this seems to me like a catalyst for a player simply saying "This stone lets me sense your actions." and simply evading everything, which would cause ooc issues.
