Photonic Saber

An elegant weapon for a more civilized age? Perhaps. While not a true energy sword, this weapon features a physical metal blade that has been energized by a forcefield to protect it and offer an infinitely-fine cutting edge.

Parts Used

I started with the base game Thermic Lance mesh and replaced the grip with the texture from the legacy-content Opthalmoscope before adding the blade of the Katana from the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC. I then added the animated glowing blue effect of the Proton Axe from the Old World Blues DLC.

Perks and Challenges

The following properties, perks and challenges apply to this weapon:

Procurement

This weapon must be purchased from Dr. Quarton, and cannot otherwise be obtained without console commands.

Dr. Quarton's Notes

The terminal entry in Dr. Quarton's laboratory notes the following:

Project # M-594-G - "Photonic Saber"

Somebody had discarded a perfectly-good sword blade behind Mick & Ralph's.
I retrieved it, but my testing revealed that it was made of simple,
untempered mild steel -- nowhere near tough enough to survive being swung.
Clearly, it was intended to be some sort of souvenir replica designed to be
hung on a wall. But I didn't let that stop me!

I began experimenting with ways to strengthen the blade. One thing led to
another, and the solution I found was to sheathe the blade in a photonic
resonance barrier. I suppose technically, this makes the blade once again
purely decorative, but there is appeal in the poetic symmetry of the
situation.
