Hey, all.
I'm thinking of building a saber that exclusively uses magic activation (MA). Has anyone done this, and if so, what has your experience been?
I do a lot of stage combat with my sabers, so I can certainly control whether or not I'm wearing a magnetic ring. What I'm looking for would be, in order of priority:
* reliability in activation (either on or off)
* subtlety in activation
---
I'm also curious what people's experience with Power-on-Move (PoM) is. I can obviously modify my design to have a momentary & latching switch, so if PoM is generally a less-buggy user experience than MA, then I'll consider PoM instead.
---
Lastly, I'm trying to build a saberstaff, so I'm wondering if anyone has used either MA or PoM with a staff. My wild guess is that both should work fine, but well, there's a reason everyone counsels people to do their research first. :)
