...Powerups can't be applied to Sabers, but Jedi have their own mechanic for manipulating elemental damage on their Sabers.
Exactly like in KOTOR and KOTOR II, Except sometimes, the Color was random and you could drop 3 crystals in it... It gave a bonus to stun or electricity in a sense... and those swirly effects around their wrists really added to it

... all weapons have a base damage type of either kinetic or energy. On top of that, some weaponswill have some amount of "elemental" damage (cold/heat/electric/acid) which corresponds to the available armor protections. There is also a weapon powerup that allows you to convert some amount of your base damage to elemental damage if the weapon already started with some elemental damage (like the Cryo Lance for instance).

Now is this just going to be another limited use powerup, or will there be enhancements to weapons you can add? Also, will weapon powerups ever last more than 100 uses? It's a bit annoying throwing powerups into your gun constantly... so I was just wondering if you knew hehe
