SPECIAL FEATURES
- Ghostfire Primary Crystal: A rare crystal found only on the peaks of the highest mountains on a few planets in the outer rim, made even harder due to their translucent and almost clear appearance. When put into a lightsaber, and installed correctly, they have the ability in lightsabers to make the blade appear nearly invisible, producing no sound when igniting, extinguishing. Even the thrum is completely gone, the only sound made when the blade touches materials, and even that is quieter than other lightsabers.
- Ghostfire Secondary Crystal(Dual-phase Crystal): This ghostfire crystal has been installed further back in the lightsaber, to function as the dual-phase crystal.
- Ghostfire Focusing Crystal(Focusing Crystal): This ghostfire crystal has been installed further forward in the lightsaber, functioning as the lightsaber's focusing crystal.
- Dual Phase: This lightsaber's ability to switch between lengths instantaneously allows it to catch unsuspecting or unaware enemies off-guard.
- Unique Capabilities: This lightsaber, due to its use of the Ghostfire crystal, is completely silent, makes no noise when igniting or extinguishing the blade. It even produces far less noise when making contact with materials. Also thanks to the Ghostfire crystal, the blade is nearly invisible, only illusionary after-images and translucent, very dim glow giving it away. This makes it almost impossible to keep track of the blade in combat, having to use the hilt to know where the weapon is, one small mistake spelling death.
- Lightsaber Resistant Metals: Cortosis, phrik, beskar, all are resistant to the blade of a lightsaber, with cortosis capable of shorting out the blade on contact.
- Hard to Keep Track of: Because of the blade's unique properties, the blade is hard to keep track of, taking a very careful and precise user to avoid cutting their own limbs off.
- Maintenance Intensive: Because of the lightsaber's use of two ghostfire crystals, the advanced setup and special battery settings required for the blade to function properly needs careful maintenance lest the blade's unique capabilities fail to function, the blade appearing as a bright white lightsaber if not taken care of properly.
- Environmental Weaknesses: Not only is the blade unable to operate when the hilt is submerged, but things such as heavy rain, debris, sandstorms, or any other sort of constant contact with the blade will enable an opponent to see the outline of the blade and thus combat it on equal footing.
The weapon of the failed assassin turned Sith Lord, the Ghostblade was designed as the ultimate assassin's weapon, each ghostfire crystal embodied with the hate and rage of Darth Lucifus poured into it. Using ghostfire crystals, the lightsaber blade is able to operate both completely silent as well as nearly invisible, the blade appearing illusionary, only a very dim glow giving it away.
Although still suffering from environmental weaknesses and maintenance requirements, the blade is nonetheless the perfect assassin's weapon if the conditions are right and the lightsaber is kept cleaned and its structural casing along with electrical wiring kept in check.
