At first glance this appears to be a normal broadsword. The hilt is bound in simple black leather, the pommel jewel a blood red ruby. Below this, the crosspiece is a scrolling piece of gleaming silver, engraved with the figures of men in postures of supplication and surrender. The blade is long and tapers to a wicked point. A blood-channel runs down the center of the blade on each side, graven with delicate markings, all tinted with the faint color of dried blood, indicating that it has been used in many battles.
When used by a Force-sensitive swordsman, he becomes able, no matter what his rank (although he must rank Priest/Warrior to be able to use the sword in the first place), to access the Powers of Force Harmony and Dark Jedi Battle Meditation. If he is a leader of men, this power is especially useful to him. His powers of healing are also exponentially increased. However, the Sword has a limited period of effectiveness, and after 15 minutes, the wielder is not only unable to access the powers of the Sword, but also unable to use the Force himself until he has rested for a full 24 hours. Furthermore, the powers of the Sword cannot be used by any swordsman below the rank of Priest or Warrior, and even then the effort to use the Powers through the Sword can be extremely difficult and taxing. Many have died in the attempt.
The Sword of the Avenger may be coupled with the Chalice of Vengeance to increase the power and effects of the sword.
