For most magic twinkling shiny stuff you should use the ad ditional blendmode. You may combine this with entityalpha to prevent washed out scenes.eg:
EntityAlpha saber,0.5
EntityBlend saber,3
You may use a special corona texture for the blades glow effect. simply add a quad to the blade that contains the glowing corona. If this is once looking good, you could even use an animated texture instead.
