Keep in mind a beam saber isn't a very hard thing to master, to hot glowing
end goes into the other guy, A heat hawk shouldn't be that much of a different
thing since basically it was used to Hack an enemy. Besides Gato had the
Naginata, thats a Beam weapon also and I think this should be a little harder
to use, well at least thats my opinion.
