I like the colour of the blade, what type of crystal did you have in mind when designing this?

Amethyst was the original idea...then I wanted to make it feel compressed and interwoven with some kind of dark magic. Possibly when looked at the darkness within appears to be swirling. I didn't want too many of the usual amethyst shine but rather a dark feeling of beautiful crystal that had been tainted somehow.

The whole Amethyst and Dark Magic theme is quite the combination, nice job!
Well, it certainly does give a 'tainted' feel I admit, the design is great and it looks as though a dark mage of sorcerer/ess would use it.

I'm really happy to hear that as it's precisely what I was going for!

Your welcome, i'm designing a few swords in a similar way myself. Nine swords to be exact, for my books Nine Guardian warriors that protect the planet to which the book is set on.
