SPECIAL FEATURES
* (
Alchemized
Extreme durability/resistance
Increases the users ability and use of the force through both the alchemy and the imbedded force crystal
Crystal ball can help witch/sorcerer/warlock foresee the future, locate individuals or objects locations, and peer into the past.
Capable of absorbing force lightning and releasing it with greater force or impact.
Force lightning can be absorbed through one end but never reach the other, (There is a one inch transfer point which can prevent the energy from going all the way through, or force it to only the other side.). This is a system internally controlled through telekinesis, allowing lightning to be caught with one end without the other being a threat to the user. It can however be forced to switch ends. The two ends are the orb and top two inches of the cane, and the rest of the cane.)
Capable of heavily increasing force powers used, particularly in regards to various types of magick. Rituals preformed when using this are particularly potent, and when fighting force powers it offers an additional strength.

Can be used as a bludgeoning or defensive weapon
Bottom end can be used to jab or stab (not sharpened)
Weaknesses:
*Un-bladed weapon: The staff does not feature any edges or especially notable points, even the bottom end is not sharp enough to cause damage without considerable effort.
Weight: While the orb may have some weight to it it is still a relatively light object overall and doesn't pack a significant punch without a lot of force and speed behind it. It would have special difficulty with armor or large opponents.
Non-exclusive: While it may take the knowledge or skill to properly wield the weapon and is typically resistant to others force powers, it can still enhance the force powers of anyone not just Zenon so long as they are the ones solely holding it.
The crystal ball is tougher then what might be expected, but far more fragile then the rest of the cane. Capable of being destroyed by a heavy enough hit or repeated hard strikes that cause cracking. If completely shattered the crystal ball becomes functionless, and also opens up the force crystal below which could be removed by a tough jerk.
DESCRIPTION
(Zenon's cane is actually an amalgamation of multiple things he has learned. Zenon has studied much of Dathomir history and magick, along with having learned Alchemy. Initially two of his creations were separate, the Crystal Ball was a recreation of the Crystal Ball used by Mother Talzin. It was Zenon's first functioning attempt to mimic it, and had a green color rather then the orange and reds that Mother Talzin had. It was also a good deal smaller, capable of fitting in a hand rather then being a larger ball.
The second vital aspect is the night sister force crystal imbedded into the weapon near the orb, but within the cane. It was something known to enhance the abilities of night sisters, a basic addition Zenon realized could be useful. He decided it was best to hide the crystal, avoiding allowing it to be easily recognized or removed in some way.
And the third and original notion for the cane was through alchemy, Zenon had spent years practicing the art knowing just how useful it could be to have something that could prove to enhance his abilities and surprise his enemies by having a weapon that appeared almost completely normal, if fanciful, but that could withstand lightsabers or blaster bolts and enhance his abilities. The cane was created separately from the Crystal Ball, however it initially did not possess the system preventing force lightning from traveling from one end to the other. Rather it was merely a practically indestructible cane that could increase his use of the force.
This changed when he realized the Crystal Ball would be an excellent addition to it, and make it far easier to carry around the ball as well. But before he prepared to merge it into the weapon, he realized the weakness of having the lightning being able to travel all the way through while he held it after an encounter with another Witch who managed to strike it. He constructed the system with the full knowledge that someone had to use telekinesis to control the process properly, and that if they weren't aware of how it worked, they would likely fail. This addition finished the cane's creation, and melding the crystal ball into it.
Zenon has been carrying the cane for years now as it serves as a wonderful tool, and while many Witches have discovered it's purpose, it still remains an excellent weapon and a surprise for those who have yet to meet him.)
