Creation of the Spirit Scythe
In order to better combat Vorgen Cyphon, Orono set out to create the most powerful lightsaber in existence. Deep in study, he was able to create a unique metal for the hilt. Unlike more conventional materials, it could not be broken by even the strongest weapon. Then there was a color crystal needed to complement the seven power crystals inside. However, upon interacting with said crystal there was a dramatic change. Originally blue and highly tuned to the Force, the crystal recognized the fire in Orono's spirit and turned a blood-red. The crystal, or "Volcano's Heart" as it came to be known gave the lightsaber powers that were deemed supernatural when it was inside it. In moments of anger, the twin blades jetted roaring flames and could freeze any being in place when directed. To increase its power, the lightsaber would siphon the spirit out of anyone it defeated. Due to this nature, Orono dubbed it the "Spirit Scythe."
