Monowhip, with the monomolecular wire strung taut by either a strong
telekenetic manipulation spell, or if you prefer a non-magical
solution, have someone in your game world invent a new type of
monomolecular wire that goes rigid when a powerful electric current is
applied across it. (I opted for the latter in my game, and I even let
the wire glow white hot, to give it the proper lightsaber look)
Essentially, you just use the Monowhip's 10S damage code, and drop the
part about the whip attacking the user (unless of course, whatever
method is holding the whip taut should suddenly fail). I'd also bring
the reach bonus down to +1 instead of +2.
