A Holy Water Sword is a kind of Angel Weapon, assigned to Warrior Angels who have an elemental affinity to Water Magic and are specialized in using a sword. It is a weapon that was used mostly by Kieri Suizahn.

Appearance[]

Like all Angel weapons, its shape is reminiscent of the symbol used to represent its primary element. In particular, the guard has the blue-crescent shape with three points as with the Water element but with an indent where the hilt extends from. The blade is of considerable length, with half of the blade consisting of Angelic wording over a blue template; the text roughly translates to "Blessed Blade of the Water Masters".[1] The hilt is white and long enough to where it can be held with one or two hands. The bottom of the hilt has a small blue spherical piece.

The sword comes with a blue sheath that attaches to a decorated belt. It bears the Water element symbol, as well as Kieri's first name written in Angelic.

Description[]

This sword was in the Suizahn Clan for generations; Kieri inherited it from her family upon starting her Warrior training. It performs the normal function of a blade, being used to cut or stab people while being durable to deflect arrows or other bladed weapons, but is also a magical focus. It is possible for the wielder to cast spells through the blade which seems to boost the power and enable new effects. The blade is protected by a Holy Protection Enchantment like the Angel Emblems, hurting Demons or those who may have been in Hell (or possibly any individual); however, holding the hilt or the sheath will not cause any burns[2], so even Demons can handle Angelic weapons by the handle.[3][4] The blade itself can still be handled if wrapped in Cursed Cloth.

Trivia[]

  • The length of the hilt is inconsistent. In early comics, the sword is single–handed[5] but in later comics the hilt is lengthened for two–handed wielding.[6]
    • The Angelic text on the blade also changes length. Early comics have it taking up two thirds of the blade, later comics are one third. This was stated to be a trivial detail.
  • The sword's sheath was priced at two silvers and two coppers at the Farun general goods store.[7]
