Hover or tap any of these for what it means.

• weaponSomething you attack with. Held in a hand, and covered by a weapon proficiency.
• versatile (1d12)Usable in one hand or two. The die in brackets is the damage when both hands are on it.
• power-cellRuns on a charged cell. Flat, it reverts to whatever it is without power.

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. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it. The emitter was re-seated along the edge and the containment field re-tuned, so the sheath sits closer to the steel and cuts cleaner.
