DESCRIPTION
After traveling to Ilum with his teacher as part of his initiation into the Solus Ara as a child, he picked the purple kyber crystal that still makes up the core of his blade. A few years after picking the kyber crystal, he was told that using a lorrdian crystal in order to further focus the blade and increase effectiveness when deflecting blaster fire would increase the potency of the weapon. As such, the inner crystal casing was adjusted to make room for both, which in turn ended up for the better as it meant making his lightsaber handle slightly bigger. This allowed Thresco to accurately wield the weapon singlehandedly, or with both hands all the same. The slivian iron casing was used due to the magnetized properties, allowing it to fit in the gauntlet of a Mandalorian Beskar'gam and effectively keep one from being disarmed unless the entire arm/hand was taken off, or if the user chose to throw the blade by choice. It also gives the blade its unique gold/silver hue. The Beskar fittings and innermost crystal casings were used as a means of insulation due to how it would serve to channel the energies of the blade even better, which was needed due to the two crystals making up the core, which might otherwise have made the weapon unstable. Due to the connection a kyber crystal has to the force, Thresco outfitted it with a small taozin node to keep others from tracking him as easily through means of the Force as they otherwise might. Finally, the handle was made out of Wroshyr wood both as a means of symbolism, what with Thresco having lived on Kashyyyk for many years now. The second reason being that it was slow to burn and had great insulating and enduring properties, seeing as how a Wroshyr tree can withstand turbolaser fire while suffering only limited charring and splintering, thus making it a perfect blend with the mixture of two crystals, slivian iron and beskar. All things considered, this is a truly unique blade which has been put together after a lot of thought and expertise was put into it, which happened over the course of years.

Strengths:

• This lightsaber can cut through objects with relative easy, more easily reflects and redirects blaster fire than other blades might while also being capable of being used under water.
• The composition of the blade and the two crystals makes it somewhat more resistant to cortosis, while also dealing more damage to Beskar as it was made by a Mandalorian to fight a Mandalorian in a more effective manner.
• The two crystals allow for the blade to enter what is called a dual-phase, meaning the blade can be extended by up to fifteen centimeters total in the midst of battle to allow for a surprise element, enabling special moves and maneuvers.

Weaknesses:

• Even though the blade is somewhat more resistant to it than others, cortosis still poses a danger to the composition of the blade itself.
• Beskar can repel strikes from the blade, though doing so will cause a good amount of damage to it.
• The crystal combination can be used to track Thresco due to their connection to the force, which is dampened by the Taozin nodes, limiting the range of this sensory to less than a hundred meters.

Hi, we meet again! You're getting the hang of this pretty quickly! This is a great-looking sub and a mighty fine 'glowstick' too

All I have to ask is that you link your own character profile in the manufacturer and affiliation sections, please. Also, you might want to look at this:

Strengths: This lightsaber can cut through objects with relative easy, more easily reflects and redirects blaster fire than other blades might while also being capable of being used under water. The composition of the blade and the two crystals makes it somewhat more resistant to cortosis. For this same reason, the blade is also more effective against Beskar, which was made this way specifically for one Mandalorian to fight other Mandalorian more effectively. Additionally, the two crystals allow for the blade to enter what is called a dual-phase, meaning the blade can be extended by up to fifteen centimeters total in the midst of battle to allow for a surprise element. Weaknesses: Even though the blade is somewhat more resistant to it than others, cortosis still poses a danger to the composition of the blade itself. Beskar can repel strikes from the blade, albeit not perfectly. The crystal combination can be used to track Thresco due to their connection to the force, which is dampened by the Taozin nodes, limiting the range of this sensory to less than a hundred meters.

You have several strengths and several weaknesses combined in each heading. Try separating them out into short bullet point statements, creating several of each. Just quick ones like:

• Functions underwater.
• Offers exceptional ability to reflect and redirect blaster fire due to its twin-crystal design.
• Dual crystal design makes it more resilient against cortosis, beskar, and other materials.
• Dual-phase allows shortening or lengthening of the blade at will, enabling special techniques and maneuvers.

Like that, which provides a much more clear picture of the specific strengths and weaknesses in the design.

Finally, you mention in strengths how this is more effective against beskar, but then in weaknesses still say it has difficulties in dealing with beskar. I'd suggest you try rewording it to avoid contradictions which might confuse others later during RP.

Other than these small points, this is a terrific and clean sub, really well done. I really like the last weakness about being able to track Thresco locally through the Force due to the connection shared with the crystals used. Cool weakness and one I don't think I have seen before! Neat idea, and I also like how you explain in such detail about the construction of this lightsaber, that's really cool and gives some depth and personality to the weapon.

Nice job!

Thanks!
I do appreciate the kind words and compliments, means i'm on the right track haha.

I did as you asked and broke the weaknesses and strengths down, but kept the explanatory portions around a bit for the sake of reference in later RP settings.
The Beskar thing being a weakness and a strength has been elaborated on so the sword doesn't just slip through it like other materials and can potentially be used to deflect blows, but that doing so will greatly weaken the structural integrity of the armor or weapon made of said Beskar.


I hope this will be satisfactory.
