The Phrik Electro-staff is a pole-like melee weapon that was used by the IG-100 MagnaGuard droids during the Clone Wars. The electrically charged tips on either end of the staff can can be set to either a "stun" setting or a deadly discharge that could stop a sentient's heart after five full seconds of contact.
This Phrik Electro-staff has been constructed out of nearly indestructible phrik alloy. This phrik alloy allows Tagrei Sula to use his Phrik Electro-staff to resist blaster and lightsaber attacks.
The handle of this weapon is equipped with a generator that sends constant electromagnetic pulses to the weapon's striking surface during use. While active, the striking surface of [this item] can parry lightsaber blades; however, the rest of the weapon is vulnerable to a lightsaber's plasma blade.
Tal'ra (Arc Warden) has seen combat, and it shows, with marks scarring the body on the weapon, and minor damage in the form of scratches and dents unrepaired since they had no impact on the functionality of this Phrik Electro-staff.
Tal'ra (Arc Warden) has had a powerful magnetic coupler installed at its midsection, allowing for this Phrik Electro-staff to come in half either on its symmetrical axis or vertical axis. This provides an unpredictable functionality in combat but does create a weak point in an otherwise solid weapon that can be exploited if an enemy becomes aware of it.
The handle on this Phrik Electro-staff has been modified with a cell recognizer and trapped handle. When an unauthorized user grabs Tal'ra (Arc Warden), several spikes erupt from the hilt and stab the holder's hand.
