The '''hard light glaive''' is a double-bladed [[Covenant]] [[melee|melee weapon]] that utilizes reverse-engineered [[hard light]] technology. The [[San'Shyuum]] [[Prelate]] known as [[Dhas Bhasvod]] notably used one of these glaives during the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HDW5|HDW|Chapter=5}}

Although broadly similar in principle, hard light glaives should not be confused with the [[hard light stave]]s employed by [[Forerunner]] [[armiger]]s.

Created by the [[Covenant]] using reverse-engineered [[Forerunner]] [[hard light]] technology, at least one hard light glaive was provided to [[Dhas Bhasvod]], a [[Prelate]] with an intense loyalty to the [[Prophet of Truth]]. The Prelate led the [[Covenant loyalists|Covenant forces]] instructed to remain aboard the ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' when it arrived at [[Installation 00]] in late [[2552]]. When [[Second Ark Conflict|the conflict]] between the [[Banished]] and the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} erupted on the installation in [[2559]], the Covenant loyalists soon made themselves known. As this conflict continued to rage, Bhasvod would carry his hard light glaive into battle.{{Ref/Reuse|HDW5}}

When Bhasvod led a force to investigate [[Pegoras|a]] [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Lich]] that crashed onto the installation on [[2559#October|October 12, 2559]], he brought his glaive with him. Upon landing at the crash site, he encountered [[Dokab]] [[Castor]] and his [[Keepers of the One Freedom]]. Bhasvod used the glaive to subdue and decapitate [[Saturnus|a jumpy Keeper]] [[Jiralhanae]], and then threatened the dokab with it before the {{Class|archeon|ancilla}} [[Intrepid Eye]] took control of the weapon. She used its hard light emitters to project two images of an [[Monitor|Oracle]], appealing to the Covenant and Keeper's [[Covenant religion|shared religion]] to get them to join forces and activate the [[Halo Array]].{{Ref/Reuse|HDW5}}
