I mentioned this on another thread but, as it's on-topic here...

I'm wondering if the sword is a fairly normal weapon although I'm sticking with the thought tha the blade can be charged with a single type of dust energy from a crystal in the hilt.

Hoewver, I think that the shield is a dust-impregnated parabolic amplifying/focussing device for aura energy. Combined with Jaune's unusually powerful aura, it can create near-impenetrable force walls and bubbles (it's intended function) but can also generate energy and force beams that are Jaune's own personal Wave Motion Gun. It can kill anything but he has to be careful with it because at full power it can knock him out from the bioetheric energy drain. It's effectively a one-shot game-changer weapon.
