Master's Energy Weapon

A compact, pulsating energy weapon wielded by the Master during the chaotic pursuit on Logopolis's field. The Doctor disarms him with a swift strike, sending the weapon skidding aside as security patrols scramble to react. Its activation emits a sharp, charged hum, drawing immediate attention from armed guards and the Doctor's companions. The weapon bears the unmistakable signature of Time Lord technology, designed for precision strikes rather than brute force, its energy discharge leaving scorch marks on the ground where it skitters to a stop.
