- “Darkness sweeps the troubled land, as Mana’s power fades… people await a hero who will wield the sword… Excalibur, Herald, Gigas, the blade has had many names, for it has been celebrated in myths and legends throughout time. But all these speak to just one weapon: the Sword of Mana.”

The Mana Sword, also known as the Sword of Mana, is a recurring artifact in the Mana series.
Background[edit]
Positioned as the titular holy blade of the varied legends that make up the Mana series, the Mana Sword is said to be overflowing with the very essence of life itself, capable of destroying or containing the great evils it is pitted against from age to age. The sword is often said to have been forged by the Mana Goddess herself. Regardless of the names it bears in any given world, it is the strongest known sword in each world. Perhaps because of its sanctified status, only a chosen few are ever destined to wield the Mana Sword themselves, or else it holds high symbolic significance in relation to the worlds it inhabits.
