This is where the blade itself lights up. A strip of individually addressable lights runs its full length, so the blade ignites from the hilt up, flares at the strike point and moves colour along its length.

The honest counter: a pixel blade carries its electronics inside it, so these hilts are rated for light duelling. Display, cosplay and lighter sparring suit it; regular hard contact suits a baselit core better. And preset banks are chosen, not edited. If you want to write your own, that's Proffie 2.2.
