![]() ![]() Furthermore, the color of the superheated plasma can vary with no functional difference as well, though most energy swords glow with a blue tint. Different patterns are typically expressed through the shape of the blade different contours can have either smooth curves or elegant angles. Mass-produced models generally feature a simple hilt design, but more individualized models can be quite ornate. The fail-safe is included to prevent enemy from acquiring the weapon and using it. The plasma then consumes the handle and thus destroys the weapon. When dropped, the failsafe engages by deactivating the magnetic field before dispersing the plasma. Some variants, notably the Pelosus-pattern energy sword, contain a fail-safe mechanism that can permanently disable the weapon if the Sangheili wielder drops it. The horizontal hilt forces the wielder to use a punching motion to stab rather than the thrusting motion of most knives and swords. Once the battery power is fully depleted, the sword will deactivate unless recharged. The battery's energy is reduced for each successful strike. The weapon is powered by a small battery that supplies power to both the plasma generator and the magnetic field generator. Within the hilt, there is an energy storage device that doubles as a field generator, which, when activated, projects the blade, with the stabilized superheated plasma being enclosed in magnetic lines extending from the hilt. Design details Īn energy sword's twin blades are superheated plasma contained in a tightly configured magnetic field generated from its grooved hilt. ![]()
