**Excalibur Cursed**, also known as **Excalibur Power** or the **Sword of Curses**, is a holy-turned-demonic sword created in the Excalibur Project. It has the power to control the elements and curse those who don't follow God's teachings.

## Summary

Excalibur Cursed is one of the named holy swords created by the Christian Faction after the Great War through a combination of advanced thaumaturgy by those with magic powers that reached the territory of the gods and antediluvian technology in an attempt to recreate the "true" holy swords created by Heaven.

The sword was the first Excalibur sword to be created and was the prototype of the Excalibur Ruler, though due to unknown reasons, the holy sword was corrupted and transformed into a demonic sword known for corrupting its wielders with power and turning them into zealots, even by the Christian Faction's standards. Because of this, the Vatican ordered it to be immediately destroyed.

However, before it was destroyed, it was replaced with a false sword and was hidden away alongside the Excalibur Ruler by spies and servants of House Pendragon. Sometimes in the Victorian era, the sword found its true wielder in Nimue Faedrid, a Pendragon bastard and distant descendant of Morgause, the infamous witch-queen from Arthurian legends.

## Appearance

Excalibur Cursed is an ornate longsword with glowing Celtic *ogham* runes running down the silver blade, with each rune symbolizing one of the four classical elements. When concentrating its demonic power, the wielder's eyes turn black and the veins in their hands darkened.

## Abilities

Despite being a creation of the Christian Faction, Excalibur Cursed is an extremely powerful demonic sword, on-par with demonic swords of legends such as Gram or Dáinsleif which were created by pagan gods. According to Arthur, it is one of the most powerful swords created in the Excalibur Project and is the only demonic sword capable of countering the holy powers of Excalibur Ruler.

At its base, the sword has the power to create, shape, and manipulate the four rudimentary elemental forces of nature (Fire, Water, Earth, and Air), albeit of a much more destructive and demonic nature. The user can create powerful natural phenomena and disasters, such as storms to earthquakes to wildfires, and can use it to create large-scaled cataclysms capable of wiping out entire towns and cities. While wielding the sword, the user's affinity toward Elemental Magic is also extremely increased and they can manipulate the elements almost as easily as breathing.

After its corruption and transformation into a demonic sword, it gains an immensely powerful demonic aura, on-par with Ultimate-class devils or with the Alpha Daemon. It can create concentrated slashes of destructive aura, which is powerful enough to level entire buildings upon contact. According to Nimue, the only way to contain its demonic power is to use a combination of specialized angelic runes.

It is a powerful conduct for Dark Magic, even considered to be the most powerful "Dark Magic Wand" in the world. It has the power to create, shape, move, interact, and manipulate curses. Its user can manifest curses or cursed artifacts as energy to achieve various effects, and can effectively curse anything and anyone they wish and can even manipulate things that have been cursed to some degree. Despite its demonic nature, it's a very religious sword and would curse those who have gone against the rules and teachings of God in its presence.

## Trivia

* Atheists generally feel a deep and primal fear in its presence.
* Shortly after Nimue joined the Grigori, Azazel had it upgraded into a true Enochian sword.
