The ability to be a master of wielding a godly katana. Variation of Transcendent Sword Proficiency and Supernatural Katana Proficiency.
==Also Called==
*Cosmic Katana Aptitude/Combat/Expertise/Intuition/Mastery/Proficiency
*Transcendent Katana Aptitude/Combat/Expertise/Intuition/Mastery
==Capabilities==
Users, either innately or through training, are masters of wielding katanas of godlike power. These blades are of a truly transcendent quality and can strike down normally invulnerable entities, even those of godlike scale - while such weapons are immensely useful in dealing with extremely powerful opponents they often come with a catch, such as being severely unstable or causing lasting damage to the user - (this is normally done as a kind of plot-device, since access to such powerful weapons would otherwise make a character nigh-invincible due to the sheer destructive force at hand).
In order to qualify as such as a weapon there must be more at play than simply gaining supreme katana-based powers, for example a user must become empowered in such a manner they are either no longer the same person (becoming a new avatar-like being) or gain a transformation that grants them potential far exceeding their original (often as a link to a supreme power-source or entity).
The weapons, while physically katanas, often come with an array of powers far beyond just the blade itself, users can thus utilize the blade to reshape reality, bestow unlimited strength or invincibility upon themselves and sometimes even others.
