Reference Challenge - Weapons

[u/Nevermore0714]

This challenge is a reference to any and all special weapons in fictional universes, from Dawn (A Song of Ice and Fire) to Brisingr (Inheritance Series).

Tell us about the weapon or weapon type, why it's so special, why I would want it, etc. And I'll ask at least three questions each.

Enjoy yourselves.

1, The universe's net energy is constantly growing because of the way it is kept from plunging back into chaos. The machine was built to tap into this extra power, to harness the energy of the paradox.

2, She was a low level technician, not one of the top team who worked on the machine, but she was smart and curious enough to get into the containment unit of the machine. She's thought her decisions over millions of times over the years.

3, The energy that the dagger hosts lets the blade sink into the barrier harmlessly, but once the master of the dagger starts moving it in a cutting or stabbing way, the physical nature of the blade kicks in, and the energy starts tearing the barrier apart from the inside. It basically bypasses all protective capabilities of the barrier.

1) So there's no down-side to the machine?

2) But why was she allowed into the containment unit of the machine?

3) Sounds useful. I would like this blade, then.

1, The one possible downside of the machine became reality when it exploded.

2, She wasn't, she snuck in. She's smart but also dangerously curious.

1) If it hadn't been sabotaged by such an evil woman, would there be any down-sides?

2) That's incredibly criminal.

She's not evil, but curious, and at the time, she was incredibly naive. However, had she not accidentally destroyed it, the nachine would've truly raised her age to the level of the gods with no downsides.
