A Witchblade is a long sword carried by Eldar Seers, typically Warlocks and Farseers, and is essentially a potent force weapon.
Overview
A witchblade contains a helix-shaped crystalline psychic matrix embedded with runes to channel and focus a Seer's energies.[1]
A variation of the witchblade is the Singing Spear. This weapon is essentially a witchblade that can be thrown a short distance, automatically returning to user's hand after each throw.
Another variation is the Witch Staff, which functions in much the same way as a witchblade but is preferred by Spiritseers.
