OPERATION


The Sword Of Tekus is a longsword that functions much like similar swords, yet has features that denote its supernatural origins. It is far heavier than any natural-made longsword, requiring at least the strength the twenty men to even move. It takes much more strength to lift the sword, and use it at all. Tekus, possessing vast superhuman strength, can lift & use his sword with much ease. Due to its immense weight, the sword can be used to weigh down anything or anyone it is laid upon. Only beings having superhuman strength can even hope of moving it, and only if they have sufficient strength can do so.

Great artifact! It reminds me a bit of Thor as Tekus is the only one who can wield it.

Glad you enjoyed the article about Tekus' sword. I plan to further delve into the nature of Tekus' sword in the future.

What a powerful long sword! I wonder what its weaknesses might be? If not the sword's, perhaps the wielder's weaknesses since it is controlled by will? Very interesting read!

Well, I conceal any weakness of the sword's wielder for the time being ;). Rest assured, I'll reveal more in the future.

Ahh, so it is not forgotten. I gotcha! I suppose I should conceal some things as well for my story - for the time being. Good idea!
