Raysabers are a type of radiation-based weapon that was first used by the Japanese during World War Zero as an armament for Mechas. Although the name implies kinship with ray weapons, the raysaber is rather more related to plasma weapons. The hilt projects a magnetic field, which forms plasma into an elongated, flame-like "blade" of gleaming light. When the magnetic field strikes solid matter, the field is pierced by the matter of the target, which then comes into contact with the plasma inside. Because the magnetic field not only keeps plasma inside, but also keeps the plasma of other weapons out, raysabers can be used to block each other, as well as other plasma and energy weapons. They cannot block ordinary matter, but given that an object piercing the magnetic field is exposed to the p

The hilt projects a magnetic field, which forms plasma into an elongated, flame-like "blade" of gleaming light. When the magnetic field strikes solid matter, the field is pierced by the matter of the target, which then comes into contact with the plasma inside. Because the magnetic field not only keeps plasma inside, but also keeps the plasma of other weapons out, raysabers can be used to block each other, as well as other plasma and energy weapons. They cannot block ordinary matter, but given that an object piercing the magnetic field is exposed to the plasma, they are nonetheless effective at countering such weapons.
