- Nearly Indestructible Construction

- Binds the user to the sword, demanding a deal - to kill a King, they must sacrifice their own soul to join those connected to the sword.
- Force Enhanced w/ Dark Side Alchemization
- Specialized drain enhancement, that actively draws half the strength of an opponent, and pulls it into one's self.
- Actively magnifies physical, mental, and metaphysical attributes.
- Slayer of Kings -
- Empowered with the blood of innumerable Sith Lords, the Wa Kûtsizi is a beast - in form and factor. With a dozen and one Sith Lords enslaved in its runic sigils, the Slayer of Kings is nearly indestructible as most sith swords; capable of stopping lighting, lightsabers, blasters, and any number of things a lightsaber could do, it does through Sith Magicks. In a sense, it is everything a lightsaber is - only far more sturdy and constant in its construction, with none of the traditional cortosis counters.
- Strength of a Ruler -
- Whereas the blade is found strength in its relatively mundane features, its true power is found in its singular greatest enchantment. The Slayer of Kings works on a very basic level - and that is to zap the strength of whoever faces it, and bring the user-facing them up to their level directly. This means that the stronger someone's force potential, strength, absolute raw nature - the stronger the Sword becomes, scaling nearly infinitely into the void of power, but only so much to meet the level of an opponent, or opponents.
- Heavy is the Crown... -
- With constant whispers and incantations in its wielder's ear, the blade will often see them brought low in faculties that had up until this point taken for granted. Speaking to themselves, arguments nobody else can understand or hear - and the most dangerous of them, is that the blade requires a sacrifice to be used. Tying one's own soul to the blade, enacting a blood pact through the Force to break into its immense power. It will drain the life of its wearer until nothing remains, and will take their soul when they have enacted justice against the very being their heart set out to destroy; forever entrapping them in the darkness of the blade, to empower the next wielder.
- The Light in Darkness -
- As any sith alchemization, the Wa Kutsizi suffers in its ability to resist the Light. While it can work its magic against a light side user and bring its wielder to their level plus their own, the issue becomes when it faces light side empowered abilities - force light, for example, will destroy the artifact entirely, and anyone who is connected with it. Additionally, the blade ceases to function entirely when in the presence of ysalamiri fields.
Wa Kûtsizi, The Slayer of Kings.
In its name, it is imposing - but in its form, it is beautiful. Crafted from a single condensed shard of metal from the Vanguard; destroyed during its triumphant failure to defend its Alliance. Yet, wrought from that destruction, that sorrow and pain came to a weapon crafted by the likes of the Black Alchemist with no equal - or rather, the great equalizer. In itself, the Sword is a piece of art, with obsidian grips, phrik crossguard, and an ever so small corusca gem to give the blade more worth than it had before; though minor by comparison to its craftsmanship.
Hidden on every edge, cut, and angle - the blade holds nigh unseeable sith text that imparts on it an insanely strong presence in the Force; only adding to its ability and focus as a King Slayer. These runic sigils help to drain the Force from the environment and from the opponent to increase the strength of the wielder to at least on par - and often above, simply from the raw strength of the enchantment. It makes it a terrifying example of Sith Alchemy, but it lives up to its name in being able to take down nigh on the most dangerous enemies the user could face.
Even going as far to adapt itself to weaknesses the Sith Lords entangled within it notice or sense. Thirteen of them lay imprisoned, enslaved for their crimes against humanity within its depths, and there is no doubt that they each in themselves are monsters of the Dark Side - crafting and honing the blades proverbial edge through the years of their own experience. This skill imparts into the user, making them a terrifying example of collective knowledge, and so too the skill of Maliphant’s forging ability.
Nigh on, the Slayer of Kings is a blade with close to no equal - but in itself, equal to all. Only as strong as its opponent, the blade varies wildly in strength and serves the singular purpose of being a weapon built on revenge, redemption, and absolute balance. Despite all the Darkness it exudes, that is its sole purpose; from beginning to end, it will only ever be enough to kill the single greatest enemy the user holds - and in doing so, will drain them of all life until they too are stuck within its labyrinthian depths, to serve the next quest for revenge.
