Warden sword

The Warden Sword is a sword hand made for the Wardens by Anastasia Luccio.

Powers, Physical and Magical Characteristics

 * They are made of silver. Harry has seen them undo complex, powerful magic at the will of the weilder.


 * They must be tailored specifically to each individual Warden. The swords have special abilities.


 * Donald Morgan's Warden Sword was the symbol of the authority given to him by the White Council and, per rumors, was enchanted to break the magical spells of anyone resisting him.


 * One of the most useful is the ability to cut through enchantments, as seen in Blood Rites. (chapter ref?)


 * Bright silver, supernaturally sharp blades, wrought with spells to deflect or disrupt magical attacks and enchantments—perfect for chopping heads off of Warlocks.

 * The Swords are famous among supernatural circles, when a Warden was seen, so was their sword, until recently.

In the Series
In Dead Beat, Harry watches as Luccio weilds her sword against zombies. He feels a humming surge of power emanate from it. Where the blade touched a zombie, there was a flash of light. A little bit later, she destroys a specter with it.

In White Night, he tells Luccio he assumed that he was never given a Warden sword was because she didn't trust him. Luccio explains that is not the case, that she lost the abilty to make the swords after she was forced into a new body, by the Necromancer, Corpsetaker. She doesn't know if she'll ever get the ability back.

In Ghost Story, Butters, and Daniel Carpenter pretended to be Wardens to rescue Father Forthill from Aristedes. Aristedes saw through the ruse when he noticed that they have no Warden Swords. Butters and Daniel didn't know that Wardens aren't issued them anymore so they were unprepared. Then Daniel fights Aristedes when he tried to kill them.
