Yeah, that's what I'm going for...like Ghosts and the like. Not satisfying ANY catch at all, but A catch. So A Catch is okay, then ya think?

Yeah that last part I completely agree with!

Most of that I'm fine with but I really don't understand why you think it'll cost a bunch to block bullets when A: a long sword can block a bullet, a person can't move it fast enough to intercept. You really can't argue that. The ability to block projectiles has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with your calculations. NOTHING. Nothing nothing nothing nothing. Forget blocking projectiles. Put it from your mind. B: no. there is no b. That's it.

The only "defensive" capabillities I need this to have is to be able to roll a weapons skill to defend against a melee weapon, and maybe be able to sunder the crap out of your metal sword with my non-metal sword. I wanna be able to parry with it, which ruins your blade. Why is that so crazy? What's so nuts about that? It's a melee weapon? I wanna make a melee weapon that's loads stronger. But ya know what? I got it. I'm just gonna make it a simple two roll thing. Discipline=Conviction for power+3+time. Done.

Someone's posted a stunt above already I believe that covers that...Weapon Master...it's a specialization stunt where you get a bonus for your weapon of choice.

Well again, you guys are focused on this thing stopping projectiles, and I really don't see how that matters at all, as anything stronger than the thing it's stopping can stop anything. What exactly are the mechanics I'm missing? I'm conjuring a lightsaber. It's like conjuring a sword only it's not a sword...it's better.

How about this...I conjure a lightsaber. Literally. In the same way the axe I conjure does more damage than the sword, that I've conjured a lightsaber, literally, means it would do more damage. A stick with another stick made out of flames on it. I can do with it anything I can do with a conjured sword, including block bullets, parry attacks, or whatever with a weapons skill. So it's a weapon: whatever so therefore it'll be a discipline: whatever to conjure. Is there a problem with making it that stupidly easy? It's not a weapon:3 because it's not a sword, and the fire's not flavor. It's a lightsaber so it's damage is loads higher. Wouldn't that work? Doesn't matter about it's mechanical components, because I'm not trying to conjure them. It has a blade because I made the blade. Because that's all a conjured sword is.

ehhhhh it's not an evocation, exactly...It's a conjuration holding an evocation in it. It persists from round to round.

Those are fair points, though I still want the guy to have Jedi reflexes (or close to) as a defense, a la Ellaine (as I mentioned). He may not be able to deflect projectiles from a machine gun, but I think I'll give him one very well aimed bullet. But little to do with the blade itself.  However your objections have little to do with the make up of the blade itself, so while they're noted in general, I still think that means it's possible, just not likely. Or only possible under specific proscribed circumstances.
