The Hyperion, Seifer's weapon of choice, is a modern variant of
an old idea. Have sword, will cut.
Its smooth, probably polished, black mental reflects like well
and seems to leave a trail of light when he scored critical hits.
Its handle, though looking like a gun and having a trigger does
not allow it to shoot bullets. Rather it acts as a triggering
device for the blades special properties. Squall's gunblades all
create a static-like explosive effect when triggered on impact.
A sound way to increase the damage done Im sure. However I believe
Seifer's may do something different. It seems to have a ghost
image of itself 'double up' leaving behind twin trails of quickly
fading light. How this is achieved I've no idea, its probably
just another than that should be put down to 'magic'.
Unlike the rest of the group of playable characters in the game
Seifer does not use the 'invisible sheath' to store the Hyperion.
Rather he carries it around and often taps it on his shoulder.
(Its double edged nature adding to my theory that those shoulder
pads are armor.)
The Hyperion's handle (Unlike Squall's.) Is designed to be held
in one hand, the grip not long enough to place a second.
