Reforged Blade of Shining Death
The sword Cuchulainn used in battle against Aife, and which was thereby broken by her in a single strike. Repaired for Connla’s use after the battle, it was intended as a form of ironic revenge that ironically never served its purpose.
Legends speak of the rainbow sword, Caladbolg, and how it sliced off three hilltops when Fergus mac Róich swung it in anger.
This is not that sword. It has no relation to Caladbolg. The function is entirely different.
Instead of extending a ray of light from the sword, the light of the blade is kept contained, and the power of the edge and point are amplified. By doing so, the raw magical energy put into the sword is condensed down, and the strength of the following blow is magnified. It becomes a “one-hit kill” attack that will not fail to slay the enemy if it lands, an “ultimate attack” that will absolutely end the battle in a single stroke. Even those with a high rank of Battle Continuation must be careful not to take a direct hit.
Because of the degree of conflation present in the multiple forms of his father’s sword, this sword is also further strengthened beyond its original form. Specifically, it gains the attribute of “defense piercing,” as well as a minor increase in damage output, although it still falls far short of something on the level of Cúchulainn’s Gáe Bolg.
