**Valkyrie Blades** are wand accessories made of Solais Metal predominantly utilized by members of Valkyrie Corps. in *Little Witch Academia: Witches of Midgard* series.

## Description & Characteristics

Crafted from Solais Metal, Valkyrie Blade is a special wand accessory developed from the study conducted by Witch-Blacksmiths of Valkyrie Corps. on Claiomh Solais sometime after Ragnarök, the Great War between Gods of Asgard and Jötnar before Woodward returned the staff to the stars. Although they managed to replicate the wondrous magic of Claiomh Solais into the accessory, its version pales in comparison. Most notably, Akko noted firework-like explosions produced by the Blade's Shiny Arc ability being not as brilliant as Shiny Rod's. In stark contrast of its template, one can perform Seven Words of Arcturus ability through the Blade much more freely instead of while in urgent, present need only, provided the rest of its prerequisites (possessing a hidden radiance and both fully comprehended and adopted special meaning of each Word of Seven Words of Arcturus) are met. This of course, necessitated inventors of the Blade to place some limitations on it so each Word ability of the Valkyrie Blade can only be used once per 21 hours of cooldown to prevent the user from being too overpowered.

As with other wand accessories, a Valkyrie Blade can be activated by attaching it to the user's wand.

Because of limited records pertaining the meaning of each Word that makes up Seven Words of Arcturus, coupled with the fact that Valkyrie Corps. gained a better understanding on them in courtesy of Akko and Ursula's accounts from their quest for Grand Triskellion, only a handful of Valkyries who could tap on the Blade's true power. To make up this shortcoming owing to its significance as Valkyrie Corps.' traditional weapon, Ingrid devised a secondary function which more widely used; the ability to reconfigure into an enchanted medieval weapon that complements the user's fighting style and skills at will. With enough training and experience, the user can change it into more than one type of weapon.

Lastly, Valkyrie Blade can effectively harm and even kill powerful beings such as Jötnar, dragons, draugar), and Titans; as well as banishing ghosts on the same vein with Wild Hunters' arsenal.

## Transformations

* Medieval Weapon Transformations
* Seven Words of Arcturus Transformations

The following are a list of the Valkyrie Blade's medieval weapon transformations along with abilities relative to their respective form:

* **Round Shield and Baton**: Primarily to block and intercept attacks. The Blade's shield form can generate a powerful force-field composed of tessellating, solid polygonal emerald lights as additional defense and comes with a detachable baton that can forms a lightsaber-esque energy blade to attack with. When multiple Valkyrie Blades in their round shield form raised together in the shield wall formation, the generated force-field will be much stronger.
* **Sword**: For close range combat. The Blade's sword form ranges from small short swords to large, bumper car-sized greatswords. This also include chainswords, a sword which blade separated into multiple segments connected by magic thread like a chain. In addition of melee combat, the sword form can project crescent-shaped, magic shockwave in one swing which firepower depends on amount of channeled magic power.
* **Twin Blade**: For close range combat. As the name implies, this form takes the appearance of twin short swords combined at the pommel which, in the hands of skilled user, can deploy quick flurries of attacks which may instantly stun-lock an opponent should they connect. The user can also choose to separate the weapon into individual swords for dual-wielding style.
* **Polearms**: For extended melee combat. The appearance of Valkyrie Blade's polearm form encompasses spears, halberds, scythes, and glaives. On the same vein with the sword form, the Blade's polearm form can project crescent-shaped, magic shockwave in one swing which firepower depends on amount of channeled magic power.
* **Bow**: For archery combat. While the appearance of the Blade's bow form ranges from short bows to long bows such as Yumi (Japanese long bows), this transformation seems more flexible than the rest as the user can add extra features as well as customizing its appearance to suit her needs. For example, Akko added extendable scythes on her Valkyrie Blade's bow form so it can double as a melee weapon for close-quarter combat.

* **First Word: Noctu Orfei Aude Fraetor**: Transmogrify Valkyrie Blade into a bow that can form one or more explosive magical arrows that can either open Ley Line portals or decimate even dragons if they hit their mark.
	+ **First Word: Makmur Mikmur Mektoral**: Transmogrify Valkyrie Blade into a massive floating ballista loaded with proportionally large arrow composed of the caster and her two supporting allies' combined magic, thus possesses enough firepower to incapacitate or decimate the likes of Titan or Ghost Witch.

* **Seventh Word: Fasannciel Shearila**: Theoretically allows the user to claim and harness the power of Grand Triskellion itself via. Valkyrie Blade on the same vein with Shiny Rod. Although this had yet to be confirmed because of such ancient magic already used to revive Yggdrasil, Akko, Ursula, and Newt nevertheless discovered the Word's hidden ability to tap on the very magic of Big Dipper itself, a function the latter two theorized as Woodward's means to reinforce the seal Nine Olde Witches made to protect Grand Triskellion in the past. When used, the Blade splits into seven malleable orbs of light that hover around the user and can be used for variety of purposes depending on the situation. Akko later exploits this intricate function to give her Valkyrie Armor a more powerful form to match the might of Blood Squirrel in their first confrontation.
	+ **Battle Formation Kara**: Battle Formation Kara is Kara Armor's upgraded form that Ursula described as Akko's "true form", symbolizing her growth thanks to the quest to unlock all Seven Words and her lineage as descendant of a formidable yet obscure family of samurais who shared her surname. The Seventh Word endows the Armor aesthetics of Japanese Samurai armor along with improved speed, durability, and power along with magically forged katana and wakizashi to attack and cast spells with.
