Special Features
- Because of the nature in which this crystal is formed, it is very hot to the touch.
- Similarly to the Lava Crystal, this crystal also has an elemental effect in that the blade has the ability to produce flame given the present conditions allow for it as the heat the blade produces has the potential to generate enough friction to execute chemical reactions with the oxygen in the air immediately surround the blade.
- The resonance of this crystal has the potential to amplify its wielder's rage and aggression, further turning it into an increased strength.
- Produces a blade with an unstable appearance.
- The blade produced by this crystal is dimmer and more subdued than blades produced by most other crystals.
Strengths
- The nature of this crystal's conception makes it so that the gemstone itself has an extreme resistance to the heat.
- This blade has the potential to produce flame due to the friction in which the blade's heat generate that carries the potential to ignite the oxygen in the air immediately surrounding the blade.
- The crystals can amplify its user's rage and aggression, turning the emotions into further strength.
Weaknesses
- The crystal's integrity can be threatened by situations of prolonged exposure to extreme color [multiple days spent on an icy planet such as Hoth].
- These crystals are extremely [believed to be only four to six currently in existence] and are notoriously difficult to work with once acquired.
- These crystals seemingly react better toward force user aligned to the Dark Side of the Force as it was a Dark Side Force Nexus that led to their formation. Practitioners of the Light Side of the Force would find it gravely more difficult to use and further master this crystal.
Description
The Vriashta Crystal is a crystal native only to the planet of Yesmireen. The process in which these crystals are formed is a delicate one and must involve one of the native species of the planet, the Saud Dis, as well as the planet's Dark Side Force Nexus, Molgeth. Once a certain set a variables and conditions are met while a Saud Dis is within the area of influence for the Nexus, it will allow for the incubation of the Vriashta Serrisht bacteria within the feline which then begins the cycle of the crystal's growth which can take a number of years. Because of the nature of the relationship between the bacteria and the host, the bacteria can only survive so long as its host does, and once it has died, it can not be revived, this halting any further growth of the crystal.
Due to previously unregulated hunting of the birds on the planet in hopes of finding the trophy that may have been housed within, the Saud Dis has been hunted to the brink of extinction, now numbering no more than 1000 alive today. Because of this, the crystal, which was already rare within the species, has become even rarer, and is thought to exist in roughly four to six of the remaining Saud Dis of the planet, but there is no way of telling which of the species holds the bacteria and the crystal, not how long that relationship has existed.
When this crystal is found, however, and used within the construction of a lightsaber, it can give the weapon a few rather significant traits. Firstly, the blade produced by the crystal is less luminous than most other crystals and produces an unstable looking orange blade. The blade also maintains an extreme heat that can generate enough friction to ignite the oxygen in the air immediately surrounding the blade and produce a flame. The crystal also carries the ability to amplify its wielders rage and aggression, further turning them to increased strength.
What is peculiar about this crystal, however, is it seems to have a preference toward who it will allowing to wield it, favoring force-sensitives with an alignment to the Dark Side of the Force meaning it is easier from dark side practitioners to wield the crystal to its potential and form the all too important bond with it. Light Side users of the Force would find that this process is significantly difficult, though not impossible. Further along these lines, if a Dark Side user that had bonded with this crystal and wielded, but then turned to the light side, would once again have to bond with the crystal to once more unlock its full potential. Too drastic of a change done too quickly can also bring about the destruction of the integrity of the crystal as well and would have it crack and crumble, dying amid the stress induced upon it by its wielder.
