User:Sierra 003/Spartan Laser Blade

This weapon is the result of ONI's extensive studies of the Covenant Energy Sword. The blade itself is comprised entirely of Class-1 Energy, formed in the shape of a simple longsword by a magnetic device stored in the hilt of the weapon. Like the Covenant Energy Sword, one direct hit with the Spartan Laser Blade can instantly kill a fully shielded Spartan, Elite, etc., or rip through the equivalent of two Spartan shields. Unlike the Covenant Energy Sword, however, this weapon overheats after just four swings (not necessarily hits). The charges are replaceable, however. The weapon may be thrown a short distance, rather being lunged with. Due to its weight, only beings with strength similar to that of a Spartan soldier.

Throwing
An extremely powerful magnetic device in the hilt of the weapon is not only used to shape the weapon, but also to connect it to its wielder when thrown, via a similar magnetic device that must be integrated into the armor of the wielder.
