Sea Devil's Electromagnetic Disc Weapon

A bioluminescent disc weapon wielded by the Sea Devils during the naval base assault. The weapon emits a faint pulsing glow during operation, shifting between crimson and sickly green hues as it targets electronic systems. Its metallic surface is etched with undulating patterns that seem to ripple when activated, suggesting a connection to the creatures’ natural electromagnetic senses. The Doctor disarms a pair of these weapons before being overpowered by fresh Sea Devils pouring into the base. The comparative brightness of the weapons’ light increases as the Master asserts control, blinding naval personnel during the Doctor’s incapacitation.
