If it's the latter, I would advise a certain type of polearm instead, though I do not remember the name - it's basically a double ended naginata. Double-ended blade. With a saber's guard for protecting the fingers.

I think I'm gonna keep it. It's very impractical, but that's the point. I mean, wielding a weapon like that would take a lot of skill and practice, wouldn't it? This would lead to crippling overspecialization, so he wouldn't be able to do other stuff outside of his weapon and semblance. Sure, he can stone wall almost all of your incoming attacks, and the electricity hurts like crazy, but his actual swings leave a lot of openings due to his focus on defense, and his maximum attack range is 16 meters since he can't manipulate the dust directly. Also, he's not good at hand-to-hand combat, like a certain other huntsman-in-training...

Thanks for the advice anyway.
