Phasesabers

The Phasesaber is a melee weapon which acts as an upgrade to the Phaseblade. It looks identical to the Phaseblade used to make it, but deals over twice as much damage, and can be auto-swung. As with Phaseblades, there are 6 different color variations with identical statistics, and they similarly emit a small amount of light when swung.

A Phasesaber is crafted from a Phaseblade and 50 Crystal Shards, with its resulting color determined by the color of the Phaseblade used to craft it.

Its best possible modifier is Legendary.

Tips

 * The Phasesaber is fantastic for Hardmode as it can be acquired early and, when reforged properly, its overall damage per second is unbeatable until obtaining the Cutlass.
 * The different colors can be used to differentiate teams in player vs player games.

Trivia
(Doesn't work on worlds started pre 1.2)
 * Their name, appearance and sound effect are reminiscent of Lightsabers from the Star Wars franchise.
 * The requirement of crystal shards and gems in the production of the Phasesaber/blade may be a reference to the fact that all Lightsabers require a Saber Crystal in order to function.
 * In the mobile version, Arch Demons spawn pre-hardmode, making the Phasesaber craftable prior to killing the Wall of Flesh.
 * Their name seems to be a portmanteau of the words "Phaser" and "lightsaber", both iconic science fiction weapons.
