Psi-Mitar

The Askani weapon of choice, the Psi-Mitar was originally a long staff with a spear point on one end and a scythe blade on the other. It functions as a focus and amplifier for telepathic or telekinetic power, which it can project as a force beam. Cable, who would grow to be the most proficient wielder of the weapon, first encountered it when he was found by his future wife and Askani novitiate Aliya in Ebonshire. While fighting off the insectoid Loci, Nate grabbed the Psi-Mitar and began firing. Aliya was shocked, since no one who was not properly trained should have been able to use the weapon.

In later years, Cable forsook the Psi-Mitar when his powers faded after being diverted for so long to keep his techno-organic infection at bay. However, long after he returned to the era of his birth, Sanctity sent Ch'vayre back to the present with the Psi-Mitar, which he gave to Cable. Cable was able to use the Psi-Mitar to amplify his powers to great levels, but without it remained mostly powerless. Later, as Cable's abilities strengthened, he relied less on the Psi-Mitar for basic uses of his power, and more in times of dire need. At this point the Psi-Mitar Cable used had no scythe blade, but still contained a spear point.

Later still, Cable (or Blaquesmith appears to have modified the Psi-Mitar, giving it the ability to physically become telepathic energy, so that Cable could manifest it at will. It also appeared periodically with a short handle and a fist-covering wrap around guard that fired energy beams. In these modes, the Psi-Mitar could be stabbed into a person or astral form, disrupting the neural energy powering it, as Cable did with the spirit of Apocalypse.
