You create a weapon of imperceptible Force energy that lasts until the power ends. It counts as a simple lightweapon with which you are proficient. It deals 2d6 psychic damage, and has the finesse, light, and thrown properties (range 20/60). When you attack while within dim light or darkness, you have advantage.
If you drop the weapon or throw it, it disappears at the end of the turn. While the power lasts, you can use a bonus action to make the weapon reappear in your hand.
