Harkoliar,

Below are the descriptions of these two crystal (from one of the faqs):

i. Heart of the Guardian

Blade Color: Orange

Description: Though its origins have been lost, the legendary artifact known as
the Heart of the Guardian was rumored to have been instrumental in the founding
of the guardian order of Jedi. Nothing further is mentioned in any Jedi archive,
but both Sith and Jedi whisper their own legends. According to the Jedi, the
Heart will appear in a time of greatest turmoil and deliver the galaxy into
salvation. The Sith, however, believe it to be an object of their heritage,
which will bring the galaxy under their dominion.

The Heart of the Guardian appears to be a magnificently shaped lightsaber
crystal of unknown composition. Analysis by Suvam Tan has yielded inconclusive
results, not being able to identify what mineral it's made of. Suvam has even
begun to wonder if it is a normal crystal at all, for at times it almost seems
as if it were alive.

All known lightsaber crystals seem to have a strange resonance with the Heart of
the Guardian, their properties being altered or enhanced when in close proximity
to it. Additionally, energy focused through the Heart results in a beam of
unique clarity and color.

EFFECTS ON ENHANCING CRYSTALS

Solari - Damage +1-10, Attack +2, Blaster Deflection +4
Sapith - Damage +4, Attack +3
Upari - Damage +2-12, Attack +4

ii. Mantle of the Force

Blade Color: Turquoise

Description: The Mantle of the Force is an item assembled by Suvam Tan from
pieces found in the ruins of Exar Kun's temples on the fourth moon orbiting
Yavin. It appears to be the remains of an even older artifact of unknown origin.
It is not known if it was used by Exar kun, or just uncovered when his temples
were destroyed. Nor is it known what the original properties of the item were,
but given the current abilities, in its original state it must have been
fearsome indeed.

The Mantle is a crystalline lattice, resembling a lightsaber crystal in many
ways, but having the additional property of being able to radically alter the
flow of energy that passes through it. When combined with other crystals, the
Mantle warps their properties, often enhancing them to incredible levels.

Additionally, the Mantle seems to almost act as a focusing tool for Force-
sensitive individuals, leading to the idea that the original artifact may once
have been a powerful tool of the Sith, or perhaps something they took with them
when the dark Jedi originally split from the Order.

EFFECTS ON ENHANCING CRYSTALS
Bondar - On Hit - Paralyze 25% for 6 seconds, Save - DC14 to negate stun
Rubat - Regeneration Force Points +3
Sigil - Damage - Energy +1-8, Attack +2
Damind - Damage +1, Attack +1, Regeneration Force Points +3
Nextor - Attack +1 (no Critical Threat Range multiplier)
Opila - Damage +3, Attack +2, +2-12dmg on critical hit
Krayt Dragon Pearl - Attack +4, Blaster Deflection +3
Jenruax - Damage +2, Blaster Deflection +7, Dexterity +1
Luxum - Damage +2-12 vs. Droid, Attack +3
Eralam - uncertain
Phond - Damage - Physical +1-10
Firkrann - Damage +3-18 vs. Droids, Attack +3
Solari - Damage +1-8, Damage +2-12 vs. Dark Side, Attack +4
Sapith - Damage +4, Attack +3
Upari - Damage +1-6, Attack +2, Blaster Deflection +8

My favorite crystals combination with Mantle of force: Solari+Sapith (+7 to hit) and tons of damage on the dark jedis, including the puny Malak. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Final note: These two crystals ONLY fit in the middle slot of your lightsabre crystal slots.

My two favorite companions in the Star Forge area are Juhani and Jolee.
