Angel Blades

Angel Blades (otherwise known as Crystal Swords) are the primary weapons of the Demonhunters. They are made of a adamas, the only type of angelic metal capable of holding the heavenly fire within, they are crafted by the Smith Familes. They call upon the power of angels' names to access the power of the blades.

Appearance:
The Angel Blades are, when deactivated, dull tubes with blunt edges. When they are activated, the blade springs to life, growing into a bright, glowing, clear dagger. If the name of the Angel is more powerful, it sometimes becomes a sword.

Usage;
The Angel Blades are activated when their name is called. It is said to be stronger the louder the angel's name is called. Angel blades are an efficient way to kill demons and Downworlders. However, when used on mortals, they are otherwise unharmed.

History:
The first Angel Blade was the Angel Sword, the very weapon of the Angel Ithuriel. Replicating it, the great Smith Families of the Nephilim: The Thorns, the Pangburns, The Blackwells and the Darkwoods, created the Angel Blades, weapons capable of killing demons yet leaving mortals unharmed.

However, since the death of the last of the great Smith Familes, Angel Blades have been in short supply, with no means of replicating anymore.
