Delirium Blade (Major) by Gryphon Chick

The character is crazy (create as a Crazy Hero with the characteristic Frenzy with the bonuses listed in the HU2 core book page 34-35) and generates a psi-sword without need of using ISP. The character can mentally will it into existence as such. Rather than being one color or size to reflect the character's mood, the sword constantly changes in appearance from moment to moment. As a result, opponents trying to parry or dodge it are at -4 to do so.

Range: Reach, up to 3 feet long
Duration: 15 minutes per level of experience
Damage: Psi-sword damage: 4d6 at level one, plus 2d6 at levels 4, 7, 9, 12 and 15. The damage can be adjusted up or down in increments of 2d6 to a minimum of 2d6. The sword also inflicts a delirium effect (see below).
Attacks: Uses 2 melee attacks/actions to summon the sword, and then actions as per melee combat.
Bonuses to Strike: ME attribute and PP attribute bonuses BOTH apply to the use of the sword, as do any bonuses from WP Sword.
Special Effects: The sword inflicts phobic panic with the character as the source upon opponents. A saving throw vs. Insanity (Standard 12 or better, ME bonus applies) may be rolled. If failing the saving throw, the opponent will enter a phobic panic (roll for effect on page 31 of the HU2 main book).
Other Abilities: The character is immune to psionic attack, possession and mind control.
