The Eternal Sword is a weapon of nearly limitless power from the GameCube RPG Tales Of Symphonia by Namco . The Sword also plays a key role in the story of Tales Of Phantasia . The Eternal Sword is a mystical sword that was a gift to Mithos from Origin, the king of all Summon Spirits. It has the power to make the impossible possible, granting whoever wields it infinite power. However, the sword is very selective on who can wield it. First, one must be acknowledged by Origin, usually by defeating him in combat. However, that alone is not enough, as defeating Origin merely grants you the power to touch the sword without being repelled. The Eternal Sword was made by Origin specifically for Mithos, and only someone who has both Elven and human blood can actually use it. Lloyd Irving, the main protagonist, eventually finds a way around this, and with the help of his Dwarven foster parent, forges the Ring of the Pact, which allows humans to use the sword. The Sword kept a comet of mana, Derris-Kharlan , hidden and suspended above Sylvarant and Tethe'alla for four thousand years. It is also what allowed Mithos to split the world in two, and is rumored to be the source of his God-like strength. In the end, Mithos loses the Eternal Sword to his former teacher's son, Lloyd Irving. This becomes his undoing, for as he tries to escape the world by leaving on Derris-Kharlan with the Great Seed, Lloyd uses the Eternal Sword to reach Mithos' castle and stop him. He also uses it to help make the Great Seed germinate. At the end of the game, Lloyd uses the Eternal Sword to make Sylvarant and Tethe'alla one again. In Tales Of Phantasia the Eternal sword is was the sword used to put the war between the coountries of Odin and Fenrir . After that, the sword was split back into the Vorpal Sword and the Flamberge. The group of Tales Of Phantasia aquites these two swords along with the Ring. Then they form a pact with Origin and use the sword to prevent Dhaos from traveling in time. They use the swrod to strike down Dhaos, and restore peace to the world. The sword is then used to take Klarth and Arche back to their own time, where it is not heard of again. |
