I started with a giant gemstone in the center. Then some runes. Every powerful sword needs some sort of enchantment to make it both powerful and indestructible. Afterward I came up with a way to connect the runes and show the energy coursing through the blade. I got my idea from Final Fantasy X: There are dungeons in that game with these little spheres you have to pick up and place into the appropriate receptacle. Once this is done, a solid blue gutter along the wall and floor is illuminated with something bright blue.
Next came the hilt. I really had no idea what to do with this portion so I started messing around. I wanted to add a sort of steampunk-esque or engineered feel to the blade so I made them look like containers of some sort of serum, which feed into the crystal, thus supplying it's cyan color.
