Appearance
Scicis
Scicis is a masterly crafted Blade, despite not being particularly ornate. Unlike other Sith Daggers, Scicis is not inscribed with any linguistic markers, making its origins difficult to ascertain.
The narrow stiletto is tapered along its length and comes to an extraordinarily sharp point. The transition between edge and blade bevel is nearly seamless. The dagger has a slight convex grind. Notably, the edge will never dull and sharpening is not required.
The blade itself is inlaid with a gold-like metal. The guard of the blade has five distinct points. The hilt of Scicis is wrapped in an unknown alloy. Flecks of the same gold-like metal found on the blade and guard can be found in the hilt wrapping.
One of Scicis’ most notable features is the gemstone in its pommel. The faceted stone is solid, but due to the continually morphing coloration, it can appear as though the core is liquid. The stone itself has a deep rich turquoise color. Within the stone, wispy clouds of blood red whirl throughout it. When Scicis has recently drawn blood, more of the stone takes on this deep red coloration.
Function
Given the shape of the blade, it is speculated that Scicis served as an assassin’s weapon. Little is known about its origins and original purpose.
One of the most interesting aspects of Scicis is the impact that it has on those who hold it. Scicis is said to speak to those who hold the blade. Those who have held it compare the voice to a whisper. Many have claimed that the blade speaks to them, in their native tongue, demanding blood.
History

However, Thran returned to the Clan with Scicis in hand.
