Animancer's Energy Blade

This strange animancer's device consists of an extravagant hilt crafted to a jeweler's precision. The pommel, which contains a complex web of binding copper and adra, houses a soul from an unknown source. When activated, the soul is released from the emitter only to be pulled back into the adra contacts after traveling a prescribed distance. This disruptive process tears at the edges of the soul, releasing powerful energies along its periphery. The soul is thus caught in a fixed loop that functions as a blade.
