Description
Stardust Nova is a (RCDS) Revolving Chamber Dust Saber Estelle Argent's father hired professional weaponsmiths to build for her. It is a broad bladed saber with a revolving mechanism and several dust crystals in the hilt.

The saber itself is just a normal steel blade and doesn't transform into anything else, however there are several spikes on the basket hilt of the sword which can be improvised as a knuckle.

The user can also channel aura through the Dust crystals in the hilt to create various effects on the weapon. The selected crystal will enter the "Active slot" in the grip of the hilt. The rest of the crystals are stored in the basket hilt of the sword.

To select her crystal of choice, the user twists a knob at the base of the spike on the pommel of the saber. All the crystals in the hilt rotate until the selected crystal enters the Active slot. (example in picture, the white crystal is currently active, but the user wants to switch to the purple crystal. Therefore the white crystal rotates back into the hilt while the black crystal is pushed up and along the hilt until it reaches active slot. The black then also moves down, pushing purple crystal into hilt and into active slot.)

Several effects various dust crystals have on the saber are:
 * Red crystal: Explosive fireballs appear on the point of the saber and are launched at targets.
 * Blue crystal: Ice shards appear on the bladepoint, and are similarly launched to impale targets.
 * Yellow crystal: A laser-like beam is shot from the bladepoint.
 * White crystal: With no increase in weight, the saber's slashing and piercing force is increased, allowing heavier strikes to be performed.
 * Purple crystal: Reduces gravity, making the blade lighter and allowing swift slashes to be performed.
 * Black crystal: No effect or currently unknown effect.
 * Green crystal: No effect or currently unknown effect.

History:
Previous User: None

Current User: Estelle Argent. Her father commisioned professional weaponsmiths to build the saber for her.

Trivia:

 * Stardust is often compared to Fairy Dust and similarly said to have magical properties. The name also hints that the saber runs on Dust Crystals.
 * Nova or Supernova relates to stars exploding, releasing energy, which the saber also does.
 * The hilt of the saber is meant to look like a star.
 * I considered making Stardust Nova a staff, a cutlass, a rapier, and a trench knife before settling on it's current saber form.
 * In the picture and description, there is a black dust crystal in the weapon. This is an error. I meant brown dust crystal. I was under the wrong impression that Earth Dust was black.
 * Estelle Argent appears to be the only person capable of using this weapon to it's maximum potential, as her semblance allows her to channel aura and release the crystals' effects. In anyone else's hand, it will simply be a normal saber with a uselessly rotating hilt.
