SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES
Though a spear by design, the lance possesses a shifting internal density due to its Ha'rangirite heart. When Domina wills it, the crystalline core subtly alters the weapon's mass distribution, allowing it to temporarily grow denser and heavier, transforming its shaft and head into a massive crushing bludgeon. In this form, the lance becomes capable of shattering fortifications or knocking aside armored foes with catastrophic force. This metamorphic density shift works in tandem with the Azure Blackstone's inherent resilience, ensuring the weapon never fractures, even when delivering impact forces that would reduce lesser arms to scrap.
Ha'rangirite Drillspiral Impalement: The weapon's head is shaped as an enormous helical drill, capable of rotating at transonic speeds when Domina channels her will through its Prime-script runes. Upon impact, it does not simply pierce, it bores through armor, stone, metal bulkheads, and even corrupted Force-grown biomass with horrifying efficiency. The rotation creates a harmonic resonance that unravels molecular cohesion, allowing it to penetrate hulls that conventional war-gear cannot even scratch. This makes the lance a nightmare for fortifications and a terror on the battlefield, where one charge can split a heavy walker or breach the walls of a vault in a single shattering strike.Blackstone Mass-Shift Core: At the heart of the lance rests a core of stabilized azure blackstone that can drastically alter its density at Domina's command. This allows her to switch the weapon's weight from "merely colossal" to "meteorically devastating." In its heavy-state, each swing becomes a pulverizing blow capable of cracking dura-crete slabs or sending shockwaves that rattle starship corridors. In its lighter state, the lance becomes maneuverable enough for mounted combat and rapid spinning thrusts, allowing Domina to maintain full battlefield agility despite the weapon's enormous size.
Spectral Javelin Projection: When returned to her Crown of Spectral Blades, Domina may fire the lance as a javelin of pure destructive force, summoning its physical form mid-flight. This creates the effect of an instant, hyper-velocity projectile that detonates on impact. The force is comparable to a starfighter's mass-driver slug, making it ideal for ship-to-ship hull cracking, knight-breaking charges, or annihilating shield generators. The projectile can be recalled instantly, reconstituting itself in her hands or returning to the Crown to await the next summoning.
Warmount Synchronization Rite: The lance is bonded through ancient rituals to Domina's warmount, allowing the beast to channel its momentum, fury, and kinetic output directly into the weapon. In mounted charges, the Crownsplitter becomes an unstoppable avalanche of mass and speed, capable of skewering armored lines or demolishing heavy infantry formations in a single thunderous pass. The weapon's resonance harmonizes with the rhythm of the mount's gait, stabilizing Domina's aim even during high-velocity charges across hazardous terrain.
Brimstone Club Function: Though forged for thrusting and drilling, the Impaler is equally lethal when used as an improvised war-club. Its reinforced shaft and counterweighted haft allow Domina to deliver crushing sweeps capable of folding steel plating or sweeping aside entire squads with brute force. The spiked drill-head adds tremendous inertia to her swings, transforming each movement into a bone-shattering arc of force that can reduce obstacles, or foes, to shards. The weapon's versatility ensures it remains deadly even when impalement is impractical.
INTRINSIC STRENGTHS
Thornbloom Overdrive: Embedded deep within the lance's core, the refined Ha'rangirite acts as a micro-reactor of divine energy, capable of entering a state known as Heart-Fire Overdrive. When triggered, intentionally or through emotional extremes, the core floods the lance with radiant blue fire, dramatically increasing its kinetic drilling speed and enhancing the explosive force of its Azure Blackstone splintering. This temporary overdrive allows Domina to bypass substances normally resistant to piercing weapons, including reinforced starship bulkheads and beskar alloys. The radiance coats the weapon in a shimmering corona of force-infused plasma, guiding its trajectory like an arrow drawn by the will of Ha'rangir Himself. However, its use is taxing, draining the lance's reserve for later engagements.
Blackstone Spiral: The lance's structure, forged from stabilized Azure Blackstone, grants it the ability known as Resonant Tunneling, an esoteric reaction where the Blackstone's crystalline lattice vibrates at a frequency that forcibly separates molecular bonds upon repeated impact. With each consecutive strike delivered to a single point, the lance destabilizes the target's internal structure, allowing it to burrow through obstacles that are otherwise impenetrable. This makes the weapon devastating against armor plating, shield generators, and even geological barriers such as bedrock or ice shelves. In close quarters, the effect manifests as a deepening "hunger" within the lance, drawing its tip deeper into the material as though the Blackstone itself yearns to bite and dig.
Spectral Artillery Javelin: Because the lance is etched with Domina's royal blade-glyphs, it can be summoned as a spectral javelin from her armament lexicon, manifesting momentarily as an ethereal spear of blue flame before solidifying mid-flight. This hybridized state, half physical, half phantom, lets the lance be hurled at extreme velocities with little regard for conventional ballistics. Upon impact, the ethereal body collapses into Blackstone spikes that erupt from the contact point, turning a single projectile into a widespread cascade of jagged crystalline shrapnel. Even when thrown, it remains tethered to her lexicon, allowing instantaneous recall or re-materialization for follow-up attacks.
DESIGN FLAWS
Massive Size & Cumbersome Ground Use: Without Domina's immense physical strength or additional limbs, the lance is effectively unusable. Even with her advantages, the weapon is unwieldy in confined spaces, tight corridors, or environments where large sweeping motions are obstructed. While devastating on open battlefields, it becomes a liability in cramped quarters where smaller blades outperform it.
Requires Momentum for Maximum Impalement: Despite its immense power, the spiral-drill penetration is drastically more effective when used in charges or thrusts backed by significant momentum. Stationary usage, or attempts to drill without proper force behind the strike, result in reduced breakthrough potential. Domina can compensate with strength, but even she cannot fully replace the physics of high-speed impact.
Recall Delay After Javelin Projection: Though powerful, the spectral javelin attack requires a brief stabilization period before the lance can be summoned again. During this interval, typically only a few seconds, but critical in fast-paced combat, Domina is momentarily deprived of her largest and longest-reaching weapon. Enemies who exploit this window may force her into close quarters where the lance is less practical.
Nullwake Stasis: When subjected to a Force-nullifying field, whether created through Void Stone, ysalamiri, anti-Force dampeners, or Null Zones, the lance undergoes a catastrophic suppression of its paranormal qualities. The Ha'rangirite core, robbed of the Force currents that keep it "awake," dims instantly, its radiant hum collapsing into a dull, inert stone. Simultaneously, the Azure Blackstone frame loses its predatory "hunger," ceasing all internal resonance and halting any growth of crystalline splinters. The weapon's structural integrity remains intact, but all supernatural properties, including its drilling spin, resonant tunneling, summoning tether, and density shift become nonfunctional. If forced violently within the null field, the lance risks entering static shocklock, a state in which its crystalline components vibrate dangerously, threatening to fracture or implode if the field persists too long. Outside the field, it requires a brief ritual pulse or direct Force-touch to rekindle its Ha'rangirite heart and stabilize its matrix before full function returns.
THE CROWNSPLITTING THORN
The Crownsplitter Lance began not as a weapon of war, but as a sacred industrial tool—an orbital breaching drill used by early Ha'rangrite forge-monks to bore into dead star fragments and harvest Blackstone veins. The first prototypes were long, spiraled pylons wrapped around a vibrating Ha'rangrite core, designed to grind through materials that conventional cutters could not touch. When Domina Prime first witnessed the drill's catastrophic bite, shearing through meteor crust and drinking the heat of its own friction, she saw not a miner's implement, but the heart of a battlefield instrument worthy of her Warmount and her divine crusade. Under her order, the Iron Clergy set about transforming the drill into something far more terrible, reforging its purpose while respecting its brutal lineage.
Through countless reforgings, the drill evolved into a hybridized battlefield lance, a spear, a projectile, and a siege instrument in one. Blackstone's resistance to sorcery and its hunger for stray metaphysical energy made it ideal for channeling the Ha'rangrite core's wrath, and the Iron Clergy began experimenting with gravitic caging, recoil dampeners, and tether systems. Soon, Dima could launch the weapon like a ballistic javelin, call it back in a spinning arc, supercharge it with heat siphoned from her Warmount, or drive it point-first through starship hulls. The spiraled design persisted, no longer to drill rock, but to shred armor, distort shielding, and twist Force constructs into useless filaments.
By the time it joined her crown of spectral blades, the Lance had become something far beyond its humble industrial origins. A relic that embodied Clan Prime's creed of repurposing creation for destruction. It remained a symbol of evolution through war: a drill turned spear, a spear turned artillery round, an artillery round turned divine implement. In the hands of Domina Prime, it was both history and prophecy made manifest, a spiraled shard of a broken star that remembered what it once was, but gloried in what it had become.
"Touch the Azure Bloom, and you'll never stop burning."

SPECIAL ATTRIBUTES
"It grows best where death lingers. Perhaps it feeds on souls."
But most of these treasures were lifeless things, obedient to the flame and the hand.
Azure Blackstone is not among them.
A relic of cataclysm and rebirth, Azure Blackstone was born during the apocalyptic fallout of Strixa Prime, when an unstable Force Nexus tore open the planet's mantle and poured its malignant essence into the very earth. The result was a mineral that lives, a stone that sings, breathes, and feeds upon the energies of life and death alike.
Smooth and reflective as obsidian, Azure Blackstone is capable of transmuting and consuming any mineral or ore it touches, spreading like wildfire through the veins of a planet. When left unchecked, it grows into spiked fields of metallic thorns, iron flowers splitting worlds from within, leaving entire regions as oceans of jagged blue glass.
To many Mandalorians, it is a weed of the gods, a divine infection that punishes weakness and rewards only mastery. To others, it is sacred: a test of dominion over the very bones of creation.
Flower Ore of Thorns: like a heartbeat, reflecting their emotions and will through subtle movements and shimmering light. The stronger the connection to the Force, the more violently it reacts, sometimes growing in uncontrolled bursts, other times forming shapes of eerie precision. It is believed to whisper in the night, its vibrations forming echoes of voices long buried in the planet's core. To master it is to wrestle with a living god of metal.Viral Transmutation: Once exposed to air, energy, or organic contact, the stone begins to grow exponentially. It infects and converts any mineral substrate, iron, rock, even beskar, into more of itself. The process creates sprawling crystalline fields of reflective blue thorns, capable of engulfing entire landscapes if left unchecked. The growth can be halted only through deprivation of energy or complete vitrification. Many worlds bear scars where Azure Blackstone once bloomed, their crusts split apart like rotted fruit.
Force Reactive Core: Under the influence of the Force, Azure Blackstone undergoes a brilliant transformation, from black mirror to radiant azure flame. This reaction releases immense thermal and kinetic energy, making it both a weapon and a power source. Jedi and Sith who have encountered it describe the sensation as standing in the presence of a hungry god, a consciousness that listens, tempts, and amplifies. When channeled properly, it can serve as a reservoir for Force energy, allowing for feats of creation or destruction far beyond natural limits.
Forgemasters Bane: To work with Azure Blackstone is an ordeal reserved for the mad or the divine. The ore resists all known plasma, radiation, and heat, defying even the hottest forges. Only through hybrid techniques, infusing cold fusion containment fields, Force bonding, and Mandalorian smelting rites, can it be shaped without detonating or growing uncontrollably. Its temperamental nature makes it a perfect mirror to the warrior's soul; any hesitation or impurity of purpose will result in catastrophic failure.
Catalyst of The Deep: When stabilized and crystalized, Azure Blackstone becomes a near-limitless energy source, rivaling even kyber in potency. Some of the oldest Mandalorian relics are rumored to bear fragments of it, crownstones, reactor hearts, and the keystones of their starforts. It can amplify weaponry, armor, and even living beings attuned to it. Yet, every use carries a cost. The stone hungers; each spark of brilliance it grants demands equal sacrifice in will, body, or soul.
INTRINSIC STRENGTHS
"When it takes root, the world screams."
Indestructible and Eternal: Azure Blackstone is a mineral that defies the very concept of entropy. Plasma blades hiss against it in futility; explosive charges bloom across its surface like dying suns and leave not even a scar. It does not melt, it refuses. Even under the breath of orbital fire or within the heart of a star, it endures. Fragments of the mineral have been known to drift through the void for millennia, tumbling through the deep black like seeds of oblivion, only to survive planetary reentry intact. To shatter it is not to destroy it, but to multiply it, each splinter growing back into new, thorned monuments of iron. The galaxy itself must bend around it; Azure Blackstone is not undone. It simply waits.
Reactive Power Source: When contained, stabilized, and refined through hybrid Mandalorian-Force engineering, the stone becomes an engine of divine potency. Its crystalline lattice drinks energy like blood, storing thermal, kinetic, and spiritual power until called upon. One shard could power a castle-ship for years; an entire vein could light the hulls of a thousand fleets. The ancients spoke of reactors built around it, silent, humming shrines where energy pooled like holy water. But the power it offers is no gift freely given: it hums with hunger, demanding focus, faith, and iron will. Those who have gazed into a reactor core of Azure Blackstone swear they saw galaxies turning inside it, stars dying and being born within a single pulse.
Force Amplification & Communion: The Force does not flow through Azure Blackstone. It climbs it. The mineral acts as both conduit and crucible, amplifying Force energy to near-unbearable magnitudes. It reacts not only to the wielder's will, but to their emotions, rage, sorrow, devotion, all given form through the stone's radiant transformation. When ignited by the Force, it glows from within, veins of cobalt light coursing like rivers beneath its obsidian skin. To the sensitive, it feels alive, whispering, tempting, testing. Some Mandalorian zealots of Clan Prime believe this communion to be a dialogue with Ha'rangir himself, a conversation with the divine through the bones of the galaxy. It does not obey. It judges.
Adaptive & Regenerative Nature: The Blackstone remembers. When damaged or shattered, its crystalline structure reforms itself over time, reshaping into its original geometry as though guided by memory. This regeneration can occur even in vacuum, drawing on ambient energy from nearby systems to rebuild. Pieces separated by vast distances have been observed resonating at identical frequencies, suggesting a shared consciousness, an echo of a single will dispersed across many bodies. Ancient records tell of weapons destroyed in battle only to be found whole again decades later, their wounds healed, their edges keener than before. This adaptability makes the Blackstone eternal in another sense, it does not merely endure, it learns.
Symbol of Divine Favor: To possess even a sliver of Azure Blackstone is to claim mastery over the living earth. Clan Prime treats such a feat as sacred, for the ore does not submit easily, it must be dominated, tamed through ritual, faith, and force. Only those whose wills burn hotter than the forge may shape it without perishing. Those who succeed are said to be chosen by Ha'rangir, marked as divine instruments of conquest. Their weapons glow with celestial fire, their armor thrums with a heartbeat not their own. The ore is both trophy and trial: a reflection of the Prime's philosophy that true strength is born not in creation, but in the act of conquering creation itself.
DESIGN FLAWS
"Touch not the thorn, for it knows the heat of the hand."
Unstable and Temperamental: Azure Blackstone is not a passive tool, it is a volatile presence. Its affinity to the Force renders it hypersensitive to emotion and intent. A craftsman's doubt, a warrior's rage, even the whisper of fear can trigger catastrophic instability. When its resonance falters, its energy implodes inward, then erupts outward in a violent explosion of blue fire and molten glass. Entire foundries have been swallowed in an instant, their forges replaced by smoking craters of radiant thorns. Controlling it is akin to holding a star in your hands, it will either burn you clean or consume you whole. The line between mastery and martyrdom is razor-thin.
Infectious Proliferation: The greatest danger of Azure Blackstone is not its power, but its will to spread. Once rooted in stone or metal, it grows endlessly, converting its surroundings into mirror-black spires. Within months, it can devour an entire complex; within years, a planet's crust. Worlds afflicted by it suffer a slow, agonizing death, their cores impaled by crystalline veins until the surface fractures and blooms into seas of azure glass. The only method of eradication is total annihilation: planetary vitrification or orbital bombardment until nothing remains. To the unprepared, a single shard is enough to turn paradise into a cemetery of iron thorns.
Impossible to Forge by Conventional Means: To work Azure Blackstone in a traditional forge is a fool's errand. It rejects flame, ignores heat, and defies plasma cutters. Even beskar, when mixed with it, often warps or combusts. Only by combining advanced cold fusion techniques with Force bonding can it be coaxed into shape. Forgemasters must commune with it, aligning their heartbeat to its pulse, or risk violent backlash. The result is that few in the galaxy possess the means or knowledge to shape it, those who can are revered, feared, or both. Their forges are half foundry, half cathedral, where every blow of the hammer is a prayer against oblivion.
Psychic Resonance & Corruption: The stone remembers the screams of Strixa Prime. Those who work it too long begin to hear echoes of those who perished in its birth, whispers, shadows, sometimes even visions of blue fire and molten oceans. These manifestations grow stronger the longer one remains in proximity. Some hear laughter, others weeping. A few even claim to see faces within the stone, staring back. Extended contact erodes the mind, slowly aligning it to the mineral's alien rhythm. The Blackstone does not merely change the world, it changes the soul that shapes it, until craftsman and creation are one.
The Hunger: Every act of creation, every spark drawn from the Blackstone, demands tribute. The stone feeds not only on energy, but on essence, draining the life force, willpower, or sanity of its wielder. Weapons forged from it often bond parasitically to their users, growing brighter as their hosts grow paler. In time, some wielders report feeling hollow, as if their own spirit has been leeched into the ore. The Mandalorians of House Prime consider this a holy bargain: to bleed for power is the natural order of things. But to those unprepared for its appetite, the Blackstone is no gift, it is a slow, exquisite consumption.
THE ROOT OF RUIN
In the aftermath of the cataclysm that consumed Strixa Prime, few believed anything could survive the planetary death throes of a Force Nexus imploding. Oceans boiled, skies burned, and the crust of the world split apart like an overburdened forge. What remained was a scar on the galaxy, a silent, drifting ruin caught between dimensions of light and shadow. From this devastation, however, came an unthinkable byproduct: crystalline growths that shone with impossible color, radiant blue veins gleaming through obsidian stone. The first miners who set foot upon Strixa's corpse called it Azure Blackstone. Those same miners never left. Their ships were found half-buried beneath new roots of that living ore, their hulls pierced through by glassy thorns.
When the first samples reached Mandalorian space, the reaction was one of awe and horror in equal measure. To the forgemasters of House Prime, it was a revelation, a material that breathed. To the Iron Priests and Warpriests of the faith, it was an omen. The metal sang beneath the hammer like a living heart, vibrating with power that seemed both divine and hostile. In its reflection, they saw the face of their god Ha'rangir, smiling. For this reason, it was not simply categorized as ore, but as a Relic Mineral, believed to be a direct manifestation of the god's will through molten creation. The decree was made: no world may mine Azure Blackstone unsanctioned, and no forgemaster may touch it without ritual, sanction, and sacrifice.
Through the centuries that followed, the Iron Clergy of House Prime built great forge-vaults beneath the stars, sealed monasteries and floating foundries devoted entirely to the study and containment of the Blackstone. These vaults became known as The Crucibles of Silence, for the artisans who entered them did not speak. Their minds were devoted to the hum of the stone, listening to its strange vibrations, recording every pulse and frequency as if deciphering divine scripture. Each vein was catalogued, each shard locked within transparent containment spires, surrounded by sigils and warding runes. The Warpriests stood guard as eternal wardens, treating the ore not as a resource, but as a prisoner that could never be freed.
Those rare and catastrophic blooms made the Mandalorians the de facto custodians of the material's secret. To outsiders, Azure Blackstone became myth, a whispered curse from the old forge-worlds, a bedtime horror told to apprentices about the dangers of greed. But within the Mandalorian Empire, it became a point of pride. The Warpriests saw in it a reflection of themselves: unruly, indomitable, ever-growing through violence. The Iron Clergy of Prime learned to graft the ore's crystalline structure into select weapons, using trace amounts within Starfangs and relic armor to grant them unnatural resilience and power. Yet, such weapons are not forged, they are tamed. To err once in their creation is to watch the forge explode into sapphire flame.
Over time, special containment methods were perfected. The ore was encased in rune-sealed crucibles of tempered beskar and cooled within fields of null gravity to prevent spontaneous growth. The largest deposits were stored aboard The Iron Citadel, a worldship that now functions as both a shrine and prison for the Blackstone. Within its core lies a living chamber, a pulsating bloom of the ore itself, chained in place by Force-null cages and humming reactors that bleed off its excess energy. It is said the Citadel's crew live in perpetual twilight, for the light of the Blackstone never dims, painting every hall in eerie cerulean glow. None enter the heart of the forge without sanction from the Warpriests themselves.
Even now, the Mandalorians of House Prime guard the secret of Azure Blackstone with zealous vigilance. To some, it is the greatest weapon the galaxy has ever known; to others, a sleeping god that must never be awoken. Rumors persist of splinters of the ore drifting through space, seeded like stars, falling into planetary atmospheres like comets, what the ancients called The Bloomfall. Wherever these shards land, they root. They grow. They whisper. They wait for the song of the hammer to call them home once more.
And so, the Iron Creed remains etched in every forge where the Blackstone is stored;
"The gods gave it teeth. The fools gave it soil. The wise gave it chains~"
