Phasesabers

The Phasesaber is a Hardmode melee weapon and direct upgrade of the Phaseblade. It looks identical to the Phaseblade, 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.
