Second Sword of Shadows
Linked with The First Sword of Shadows, this Force weapon is able to hold up to any lightsaber. Supposedly, more of them exist, but this is not proven as of yet.
The sword needs to be activated in a short ritual to unfold it's true power. It holds an echo of the spirit of its creator, a swordsmaster. When activated, the echo will create an overlay on the mind of the wielder (not taking control) and allow him or her to fight as well as the swordsmaster in ancient times – given the wielder is physically able to hold up. Used like this often enough, the wielder will take up the same skills.
The Second Sword of Shadows also enables the wielder to know the moves of the opponent several seconds in advance. When used side by side with the First Sword, the abilities of the weapons link and create a most unbeatable pair of fighters.
Placed on a specially prepared altar in a training area, the echo of the swordsmaster will invoke it's old memories in the minds of students of martial arts, enabling them to learn as if being taught by him personally.
Any Light Sider using this sword will inevitably fall to the Dark Side.
History

When members of the mysterious K'hamar'an cult infiltrate the Dark Brotherhood and stole many of their texts and artifacts, the Krath High Priestess led Brotherhood forces to the K'hamar'an homeworld of to reclaim the artifacts and put an end to the K'hamar'an problem. Since that time the swords have been used by many Taldryan Elders and Equites to train and in heated battles. The Clan keeps a tight hold on these valuable weapons.
