Darkstick

The darkstick was a weapon unique to the Kerestian people.

When turned off, a darkstick appeared as a flat, surprisingly heavy piece of metal, two centimeters thick, seven centimeters wide, and fifteen centimeters long. When activated, a beam of what appeared to be "black light" was emitted from one end. The beam curved at its midpoint, giving the activated weapon a crescent shape. The cutting power of this beam was almost equal to that of a lightsaber.

The darkstick was a thrown weapon &mdash; skilled users could even throw the darkstick at a target in such a way that it returned to their hand.
