- Crystals with Soul: There are black artificial crystals in the lightsabers, as is customary in Wardens of the Shroud. In such a crystal, Ty Sibo put the soul shard he had obtained from Adrian from the Netherworld after the man's death to alleviate Ingrid's grief. Because Ingrid uses two lightsabers (if she uses them), she halved the crystal and placed it in the two lightsabers. The blade has a black core and a bluish light around it that the soul shard gives.
- Here with her: Thanks to the soul shard, the jewel, when in physical contact with Ingrid, gives the impression that there is still a Force-bond between her and Adrian. In addition, the soul shard responds to the woman’s emotions and reflects back such emotions that the late Darth Prospero also felt in a similar situation, or that the woman would like to feel from her husband. The woman can feel a touch or even a scent, of course these are not real, only the jewellery gives her such an effect or impression.
- Nightshadow: The lightsaber hilts include Nightshadow, which makes it impossible to detect lightsabers with scanners if someone wants to detect the weapon based on them.
- Only for her: The soul shard responds only to Ingrid’s presence, for others these are just a black blade lightsabers.
- Usual effect: It is no different from an average lightsaber, meaning these two blades can cut through many materials with relative ease.
- Cortosis: Like all such weapons, cortosis has the same effect on these weapons, i.e. will short the blades if in contact.
- Just an Echo: The soul piece does not have a self-consciousness and is just an echo, a memory. It is for this reason that it can only reflect back to the woman an emotion that the late Adrian Vandiir felt in a similar situation in his life. But since it's just a fragment, it may not reflect the actual emotion, but what the woman wants to feel at that moment from her husband, even though she feels like they're coming from Adrian. And since these are just memories / echoes of emotions, so distortions are also conceivable.
- Underwater: The design of the weapons does not allow for underwater combat. If they activate them under water, they will be short-circuited.
After
AMCO
's death, Ingrid originally received a broadsaber as a gift from
Ty Sibo
, which had Adrian's soul shard in its crystal. However, Ingrid doesn't use such a weapon, she likes small-grip, shorter molds, shotos. Doesn’t really use a lightsaber very much, prefers vibroblades much more. She only carries a lightsaber with her at official events when she can’t carry vibroblades with her.She used to have two, but replaced them after that. Built two new shoto and cut the soul shard crystal in half so she could put them in both new blades. Since she did not receive this crystal from her husband like the other that went into the necklace, these two crystals now have a much weaker emotional effect than the other, even if the two weapons and the two shards are in one place.
The artificial crystal is basically black in colour, which matches with the Wardens, the bluish light around it is given by the soul shard, as the blue was Adrian’s colour. Because the soul shard responds to Ingrid’s presence, the blades only glow blue when she uses them. If anyone else did, they would only get black blades.
The two shots themselves are no different from the average lightsaber or shroudsaber. It has exactly the same parameters, it knows the same as an average similar weapon. Their only special feature is the soul shard in it, which makes the lightsabers completely personal for Ingrid.
