The "Dark Sabre" was a unique lightsabre that was used by an army general in the animated series. |

^^What WERE you thinking? |

Okay, so, recently I started reading a book called Armorica [now that I think of it, it's still probably kinda low key, and waaay underrated], and in it, demon generals carry black obsidian swords imbued with demon magic. So, yeah. |

Pray tell, how does one create dark light? |

^It's actually not that hard. When you partially ionize a gas, it stops being transparent because the free electrons are able to absorb all wavelengths of incoming light instead of just those that correspond to their energy levels. It then emits light based on the transitions available to the lower shell electrons. If you picked a gas and voltage that emitted light only outside the visible spectrum (e.g. ultraviolet), you would get a column of gas that was both opaque and black to the human eye.
In practice, that last bit is tough to do -- blacklights, for example, emit ultraviolet most strongly, but they also emit secondary bands in the blue and violet range. |
