Type: Magic Material
Family: Sword Spirit
Habitat: The Vantulos Band (crafted for their members at their HQ)
Disposition: (Initially emotionless) Varied, loyal
Diet: Spirit Energy and Demonic Energy
Unique creations of the Vantulos Band, these monsters are the first synthetic monster girl made by humans. Created using demon realm silver, the smiting skill of a Cyclops master blacksmith and using the magic of her elementalist husband, these weapons are alive much like their cousins the Cursed Sword.
Unlike their more aggressive and controlling cousin, these weapons force no emotions or actions on their wielders. In fact their personalities are absent when first obtained. Even the forms of the women they will become are non-existent, their souls simply fledgling wisps inside the weapon. Unlike any other monster to date, Magic Weapons do not obtain energy through sex, and do not produce their own at all. Rather they obtain it through use, or through their wielders simply willing their energy to them.
Since they are composed of demon realm silver, they are nearly incapable of physical harm. Unlike simple DRS weapons and Cursed Swords, they don’t simply cut away a targets energy, and they never supplant their own. Instead they drink up the energy obtained in combat, using it to increase their own power, as well as granting them more personality and gaining a form. They also are able to give strength and skill to their wielders. This strength is never permanently manifested, instead showing itself through “Sword Skills”. Another factor for Sword Skills is how balanced their maximum Demonic Energy and Spirit energy capacity. To compensate for gender and monster differences the Band formulated special cleaning oils that are comprised of each of the energies to help keep the sword balanced. In this way, even the monster members of their band can use strong Sword Skills even though they can’t provide spirit energy. On top of these sword skills, these weapons can help their wielders fight more efficiently, giving them a kind of sixth sense even when they weak or newly forged.
To keep the weapons docile, but also to help the weapon and her wielder to bond, the “Sword Skills” can only be used with precise amounts of the wielder’s spirit or demonic energy is given to their own pool. Sword Skills vary between weapons and some are even unique to certain pairs, making these weapons great and unpredictable to anyone but their users. One thing is common amongst Sword Skills, they can hit harder than even a Cursed Sword, and some can even hit hard enough to take down the likes of Ushi-Oni and even Dragons in a few blows. However, the harder the Sword Skill hits the more energy is required to use it. Without proper management of their energy, a wielder could potentially use up their energy. While this may take out their target and leave them a drooling mess, they themselves will pass out soon after leaving themselves at the mercy of other nearby enemies.
Back to their personalities, while usually unformed, they tend to be similar across weapon types, such as most Katana having generally stoic personalities, great swords being gruff, etc.. On top of this, weapons tend to only allow people who are compatible with their base personality, and while their ending personality will be more complex than their base, they tend to remain close to it. Their figure, which can only be seen on any reflective side of a weapon, varies greatly in comparison.
Their forms can be of any species, and some even look like new species of mamono all together or even unique angels. Their outfits however tend to center around the country of origin of the weapon in question. This can lead to intriguing combinations such as gloomy Otohime’s in western attire or stoic angels in Zipangu attire and more.
Another amazing skill these mamono possess is these weapons are capable of taking demonic energy from men and women, preventing monsterization. This is likely the main reason the Order continues to employ the Vantulos Band despite their openly monster friendly ways. Another feature they possess is that of the mental link they share with their wielders, letting their wielder choose when to cut fabric or even flesh. Still they are monsters, and they could never harm human men, so if they were used with the intent to kill a man, they could never do so.
Lastly, these monsters, while deeply in love with their wielders, or in case of female wielders also the men their wielder fancies, they are incapable of showing this affection the way they wish, so they never speak on it. They are content to simply serve their wielder to the best of their ability and grow stronger with the hopes of one day becoming Great Magic Weapons.
