[HoE] JunkSaber

<<I was wondering about the power Weaponsmith. I need to
  make a lightsaber for a Syker with a Belongin's 5. The
  spell says the Junker needs Shield and Weaponsmith but
  do I need to put both spells into the device? I also
  wanted to put Brain Drain into it. From my
  calculations I would need to "miniaturize" Brain
  Drain. Waht I need to know is if I have to put Shield
  in there, how would I do that?>>

You do need to put Shield into the device for the "lightsaber" effect.  The
tradeoff is that energy weapons can do a lot more damage for their size.
My suggestion (since the syker's paying so much for the device) is to
Miniaturize every power in it (Brain Drain, Weaponsmith, and Shield), and just
say it was made by a master Junker.  That way, if it gets damaged, it'll be 2
1/2 bastards to fix, so he should treat the thing like solid gold.
