Description
One of Gawain’s upgrades was encasing tools in localised force fields in order to safely work with alpha element samples. The results were so effective that he decided to make a weapon based on the same technology. Kinetic swords are long, thin, rapier-like blades. They are made from an alpha element alloy, folded many times like Damascus steel or a traditional katana. A modulator in their hilts surrounds the blade with an extended version of the user’s meta-armour force field, then modifies it to cause high frequency vibrations. Flesh that comes into contact with the vibrating force field scatters like sawdust from a wood chipper. Armour and metal are broken apart in a shower of sparks.
