Force Power: Empower Weapon
Alter Difficulty: Difficult
Required Powers: Absorb/Dissipate Energy
This power may be kept “up.”
Effect: This power is used to extend a field of energy around a melee weapon to create the effects of a “light” weapon. When used on a sword, the blade becomes infused with energy and has all the properties of a lightsaber (able to parry lightsabers, can be used with Lightsaber Combat, able to parry blaster bolts, etc.), except damage is reduced to 4D (and like a true lightsaber, the strength of the user makes no difference to the damage). The power has similar affects on daggers, staffs, axes, etc.
