Omg, you all misunderstand. ITS NOT THE WEAPON, ITS THE YANG MAGIC!!!
I use Light Magic empowered by my divine protection to boost my NORMAL weapon.
Why can I make a light sword if I only have the hilt? Because the hilt is made of pure gold so I use the gold inside the hilt to also* activate my divine protection and empower my magic further, hence the [s]lightsaber[/s] plasma sword.

You need to elaborate about things like that, also Yang Magic covers buffs and the like, not plasma. While you may be under the impression that yang relates to the sun, and with it light and heat, it does not. You'll need fire magic if you want to try to create some semi-solid state of plasma. Also if your hilt is made of pure gold, then wouldn't your divine blessing turn the entire hilt (because it's made of pure gold) into mana, and thus he wouldn't even have a hilt to use?

Regardless, even a searing heat blade isn't going to be as powerful as you'd hope. Considering that we've already have characters face tank apparently nova-level fireballs, plasma blades are quaint in comparison. So don't get in over your head that somehow your weapon will be the end-all to a fight. Again: Learn to fight instead of relying on gimmicks.

In addition to anyone else reading this, I'll be consulting the other GM's about adding a new feature to the CS for those who use magic, namely to describe what sort of spells they're capable of using. This way anyone who is capable of using a 4th level incantation doesn't just pull out any type of spell out of their ass.
