Really cool sword idea, difficult execution

I have created an extremely good sword script, but I would like to make the blade of my sword a trail instead of a model so that it acts as a lightsaber or the dark saber. Another feature I would want this to have would be a trail behind the sword to be black and have a white outline. Now I’m extremely new to trails and particles, but what would be a good way to execute this idea to make this cool sword, just so I can get started. Does anyone have any ideas? I will try anything.

Can’t you change the sword’s handle/ main part to a neon material and add Point Lights ?
That would be a much simpler alternative to your idea.
You can add trails or particles of your desire to that part’s main part too to achieve the effect.

Just use a Beam for the blade, and Trail for the effect that follows:

Note, you’d still need a “blade” Part to handle the collisions if you want this sword to hit anything, since visual effects alone don’t collide with other objects.
