The Synaptic Spear is a weapon developed by [[Psion]]s based on the [[Cabal]]'s [[Light]]-suppressing technology. When inactive, it appears fairly ornamental, a short metal blade with a blue handle and handguard, its tip forked, with the edges facing down and sideways. When wielded by a [[Lightbearer]], the spear's tip extends from its bottom part. It becomes infused with the user's Light, becoming enveloped in a white aura and manifesting a long, ethereal tip. | The Synaptic Spear is a weapon developed by [[Psion]]s based on the [[Cabal]]'s [[Light]]-suppressing technology.
