Power weapons in are special weapons that are expensive to make. They take the form of many types of melee weapons, and their purpose is to make short work of Armor of any kind. They make mockeries of Power Armor and some well designed expensive kinds can bypass shielding, but for the most part many are unable to bypass shielding, but a strike from a power weapon is still extremely powerful so personal shielding will usually fail after a blow or two depending on the strength of the weapon or the strength of the shield. Power Weapons are Unique to the New Covenant, though the Kingdom of Edolas has Similar Weapon properties in their KeyBlades, and their Plasma Swords are essentially the same in function in regards to swords.

Power Swords

These are the most standard power weapon, they function like a sword and can come in many forms and designs,but all have the same effect. They Ignore Armor through the destruction of molecular bonds through a sustained field on the blade. They are made with multiple materials and are all well made weapons that serve to nullify an enemies armor.

Not all "Power Swords" need to have the sustained field for breaking molecular bonds, this only occurs in weapons made with materials of extreme value that have similar properties to power swords, such as slicing through armor and flesh as if they were nothing. Materials are exotic in nature and tend to be unique to the weapon, these are among the most coveted of weapons as they are wholly unique, and may never see similar creation again.

Two handed versions of these weapons are powerful and enhance the strength of the user, allowing powerful blows to be dealt one's enemies.

Power Axes

Power Axes are a heftier weapon, and can come in single hand to two handed forms. They have a similar function to Power swords, when activated they have a sustained field that cuts through Metal, and other materials with ease. It differs however in being a brutal weapon as compared to the delicacy a sword implies, and it hits harder. Its two handed variant is a even heavier weapon good for killing multiple foes in a swing and hits even harder, easily cutting deep into large vehicles.

Like Swords there are some made of superb materials that are capable of cutting through any material with ease simply due to the properties of the material of the blade.
