Because I found some info on the meaning and derivation of Marius there. And sure, first thing it said was exactly what you said....but, inmediately after, it says: "or else from the Latin root mas, maris meaning "male"".

That "or else" is what worries me, since it makes it seem like whoever wrote that wasn't really certain about what he wrote, and makes me question how trustworthy that site, or at least that page, really is.

2-You say "beam naginata", but......what kind? I mean, you are so undescriptive, I cannot get any clear ideas. Is it like a lightsaber, basically a simple pole whose blade alone is made of energy? Is it a small handle about 1,5ft long that releases the rest of the weapon in the form of energy? Really, be more descriptive, it would help a lot.

(Also personally I feel the name does not fit the weapon much).

3-While I don't have much problem with the effect itself, it sounds more like something from Amurican Handball than Hockey.
