The Electro-staff is a pole-like melee weapon The duralloy shaft is strong enough to block bladed and blunt weapons, but when activated, the electrically charged tips on either end of the staff can withstand and hold up against strikes from a lightsaber. Beyond this, the tips can be set to either a "stun" setting or a deadly discharge that could stop a sentient's heart after five full seconds of contact.
Electromagnetic Pulse Generator
The handle of this weapon is equipped with a generator that sends constant electromagnetic pulses to the weapon's striking surface during use. While active, the striking surface of [this item] can parry lightsaber blades; however, the rest of the weapon is vulnerable to a lightsaber's plasma blade.
Electro-staff has had a powerful magnetic coupler installed at its midsection, allowing for this Electro-staff to come in half either on its symmetrical axis or vertical axis. This provides an unpredictable functionality in combat but does create a weak point in an otherwise solid weapon that can be exploited if an enemy becomes aware of it.
The handle on this Electro-staff has been modified with a comfort grip, allowing Electro-staff to be held for extended periods of time without fatigue of the user's hand.
Electro-staff has had every external component painted black as night. This allows this Electro-staff to more easily blend into the shadows and darkness unseen.
