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.

I regret to disclose that the [[Cryptarch]]y's following report on the so-called "Synaptic Spear" is woefully ill-prepared, even coming as it does from the few fledgling Cryptarchs who are not busy studying [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]]'s [[Savathûn's Throne World|throne world]].

I myself am overseeing the construction of the [[Psisorium]], where a Psionically gifted individual could theoretically scan through the networked memories of preserved minds, but I digress… | ||
Based as it is on the Light-suppressing | Based as it is on the [[Light]]-suppressing technology that [[Dominus Ghaul]] used to restrain the [[Traveler]] during the [[Red War]], the Synaptic Spear is capable of interrupting or dispelling a single instance of Light if, and only if, it is wielded by a [[Lightbearer]]. However, this repellant effect is too weak to be of any use in the physical plane—the spear is only capable of disrupting Light in an environment charged with Psionic energies. | ||
Even then, it cannot be used against a subject unless they are also a Lightbearer (perish the thought!) who believes themselves in such a perilous situation that they manifest an aspect of their Light in the Psionic environment. That aspect could then, it is theorized, be slain by the spear, leaving the subject Lightless in the physical plane. | Even then, it cannot be used against a subject unless they are also a Lightbearer (perish the thought!) who believes themselves in such a perilous situation that they manifest an aspect of their Light in the Psionic environment.
