Just a conjecture, but it seems to me that the recurring word "star" in the names of the two halves and the entire assembled weapon heavily suggests that the Powerstar could have been originated from an alien meteorite of some sort. Maybe, in the ancestral era set millennia before Blackstar would arrive on Sagar, someone (wizards?) found a way to "shape" such an enigmatic alloy into the source of energy commonly known as Powerstar.
Of course, since the parallel universe where Sagar is set is supposed to contain hundreds, if not millions, if not billions of worlds (like our universe does), the Powerstar could have been "built" on another planet, then moved to Sagar for unknown reasons.
Finally, could we theorize that the meteorite was coming from a THIRD universe...? After all, when Overlord's spell fell on Sagar, the two halves weren't affected. Thus, both the Starsword and the Powersword don't tap into the parallel plane where Sagar's magic is stored.
Fascinating.

I must add that the Powerstar could have been slightly inspired by the fictional sword known as Stormbringer, created by Micheal Moorcock for his popular Elric saga:

Likely, the opposition of two magic swords is somewhat reminiscent of the confrontation between the Stormbringer and its equally powerful "twin" blade, the Mournblade.
