Hover or tap any of these for what it means.

A single-handed Halcyion pattern sword with a containment field down the fuller, holding the plasma sheath a few millimeters off the steel so the blade still parries like a blade. Halcyion chapter armories turn out more of these than every other powered pattern combined, and Aurelion officers buy them privately and have the pommels re-cut. One power cell runs the edge for eight hours of continuous draw. Without a charged cell it is an ordinary longsword dealing 1d8 slashing damage.
