'''Tera Sinube's sabercane''' was a custom-made mobility aid that also served the [[Cosian/Legends|Cosian]] [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] [[Tera Sinube/Legends|Tera Sinube]] as a [[Lightsaber/Legends|lightsaber]] in situations where [[Lightsaber combat/Legends|armed combat]] was the necessary course of action. Designed to be as much of a weapon as a reinforcement for his gnarled frame, [[Tera Sinube/Legends|Sinube]] only exposed the duplicity of his [[sabercane]] when the [[Lightsaber hilt|handle]] and collar were separated from the shaft to produce a silver beam of plasma. Sinube used his sabercane during the [[Clone Wars/Legends|Clone Wars]], when he wielded it to great effect against the thieving [[Terellian jango jumper]] [[Cassie Cryar/Legends|Cassie Cryar]].

Due to his age, [[Jedi Master/Legends|Jedi Master]] [[Tera Sinube/Legends|Tera Sinube]] utilized a [[sabercane]], a specialized device that was both a crutch and a [[Lightsaber/Legends|lightsaber]] in one.<ref name="CWCE" /> The [[Lightsaber hilt|handle]] of Sinube's sabercane was T-shaped,<ref name="LL" /> and along with the collar, was made of [[Cosian wood|wood]] from his [[Cosia/Legends|homeworld]]. The [[activation stud]]<ref name="CWCE" /> for the sabercane's silver energy portion<ref name="FB" /> was installed in the handle,<ref name="CWCE" /> and the intricately carved collar connected to a shaft that finished with an enlarged ferrule, the size of which provided increased stability and support for the aged [[Cosian/Legends|Cosian]] as he moved about.<ref name="LL" /> The rounded ferrule had a flat bottom and four symmetrically placed protrusions to further supplement its owner's stability.<ref name="CWCE" /> In its completed form, the sabercane was roughly half the height of Master Sinube.<ref name="LL" />

As [[Jedi/Legends|Jedi]] Masters advanced in age and became less able to sustain themselves physically, they made use of devices to help lessen the burden on their bodies.
