You know what the weakest point of a typical sword is? The wielder. A flying weapon is a weapon capable of fighting without anyone touching it. It floats into the air, moves as if there were an invisible hand guiding it, and attacks freely. Some flying weapons will stay near a particular user, parrying attacks against them; others operate entirely on their own. Sometimes they're magical tools, or haunted weapons, or wielded telekinetically. A flying weapon is very likely to be an Empathic Weapon, and may also be an Attack Animal (or even an Equippable Ally if it has a life of its own). Nearly always a Cool Sword. See also Attack Drone for the real-world high-tech equivalent. When it is a sword and used in large numbers, they may overlap with a Storm of Blades. A Master of the Levitating Blades is basically this trope, but multiplied several times over. Also a valid way to summon a weapon to one's hand. |

In Guild Wars 2 one of the classes of enemy that infests the dead land of Orr are the Spectral Weapons, which come in a variety including longbow, sword and shield, sword and off-hand dagger, dual-wielded torches and hammer. Ironically, the enemies don't actually match the designs of the collectible Spectral weapons you can acquire, instead being based on the 'Dragon's Deep' weapon set. | |

Alastor introduces itself this way in the first game, suddenly floating and moving on its own when it was just previously held by an object. However, after surviving being impaled in the chest by it, Dante is able to subjugate it but only ever wields it by hand afterwards. Alastor later reappears in Viewtiful Joe as a regular character, now in possession of a humanoid form. He is able to summon and control copies of his own sword form, where they will appear in mid-air and then home in on the player. He can also transform and fly around as a blade, attempting to slice and skewer his opponents. | |

Bleach: In Shikai or its lowest level of Bankai, Byakuya's sword forms a swirling mass of tiny blossom-like blades. Byakuya can create the form of tiny daggers or entire swords out of them, enabling him create a Storm of Blades whenever he likes. When the Bankai enters Senkei, it creates an arena of thousands of fully-formed swords. What makes his Shikai and Bankai so dangerous is that there are countless tiny blades fluttering around the battlefield with the ability to cut you from any angle and get around any defense. During the Soul Society arc, Uryu Ishida faced the 4th seat of Squad 7, Jirōbō Ikkanzaka. Jirōbō's Zanpakuto blade could transform into dozens of identical flying blades that fluttered around like little birds. |

The Phurba from The Shadow is an apparently living dagger with a monstrous head and a pair of tiny hands set into the hilt which can fly around on its own in response to the will of its controller (although it also seems to have a will of its own). Attempting to wield it by force usually just results in it biting your hand, or dragging you violently around the room behind it. | |

In Elden Ring, the sorceries of the long vanished land of Eochaid can enchant weapons to be levitated with the wielder's mind alone. There are two weapons with this property in the game. One is the Regalia of Eochaid. The other is the Marais' Executioner Sword, one of the Legendary Armaments. It didn't originally have this ability, but Elemer of the Briar who hailed from Eochaid stole it from the Marais family in their failed attempt to execute him. He then enchanted it with Eochaid sorceries. Both weapons have the same unique Ash of War skill, Eochaid's Dancing Blade, which lets you launch it at a foe and drill into them like a corkscrew. | |

In the second, it's upgraded form is Odyssey, where two large swords pin down the enemy before a sword the length of the entire screen stabs it. The Gaia Blade has the Titan Blade unleash, where a really big sword drops onto the enemy point-first and keeps going. It has an Evil Counterpart with the cursed Darksword and its unleash, Acheron's Grief. |

Xanth novel The Source of Magic. While going to a masquerade ball Bink is attacked by a flying sword sent by an unknown enemy. Luckily for him the sword is not very skilled at swordplay and he can parry its blows. He finally neutralizes it by getting it to stick itself into a gluebark tree. The same sword appears again in a later book (set several centuries earlier). It's extremely skilled then, as well as faster, stronger, and more vicious. The implications being not only that Bink's talent was working heavily to protect him, but that the enchantment on the sword had faded far past its intended length of animation. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Module S1 Tomb of Horrors. One room had swords mounted on the walls. If any attempt was made to escape, the swords flew off the walls and attacked the escapees. Early editions have magical "Dancing" weapons that can be loosed to fight autonomously in the wielder's space for a few turns at a time. The Epic Level Handbook takes it up a notch with "Everdancing" weapons that are much more independent and mobile. Molidei demons have flying two-handed axes as their standard equipment. The Hero-Deity Kelanen Prince of Swords in the Greyhawk setting. While wielding a normal sword, each minute of combat he can create another sword (to a maximum of nine) that flies through the air and attacks his enemies. Spells: A number of spells create weapons that attack the caster's opponents, such as Mordenkainen's Sword and Spiritual Hammer/Weapon. In the 1st Edition Oriental Adventures'' supplement the Dancing Blade spell would cause a non-magical sword to attack an enemy on its own. The Book of Marvelous Magic had the Bone of Bruising. Once launched it would constantly attack the victim, doing 1 Hit Point of damage per round and can't cast spells or use magic items that require a command word to activate. The homebrew Telekinetic Bladestorm has this as its central power. |

Cradle Series: Flying swords are well-known weapons. They're not the most common because you have to feed them with your own madra and operate them remotely, but they certainly have their uses. Some people even fly on them. Lindon sees a flying sword in the Heaven's Glory lesser treasure hall, and is disappointed he doesn't have an opportunity to steal it. Eight books later, when he finally comes back, he realizes it's a piece of junk made incompetently out of sub-par materials. He's hardly an expert, but he could make something better. When someone uses it against his sister, he runs up behind it—outpacing it—and then grabs it and throws it back at the man controlling it. Traditional wisdom is that you can't use a flying sword against its controller, but Lindon overpowers its own levitation and his throw makes a hole in the man's torso before he can react. Lindon receives a flying sword of his own, Wavedancer, as his prize during part of the Uncrowned King tournament. It's an Archlord-level weapon without a binding, which makes it Boring, but Practical. Most weapons use bindings to unleash powerful techniques, but you have to be at the appropriate advancement level to use it safely. Wavedancer just requires lots of madra (which Lindon has in excess) and enough mental focus to control it. Lindon typically gives control of the sword to the mind spirit living in his head and then dedicates his entire focus to the fight. |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: There's a miniboss that seems to be one of these, but its body is actually invisible. The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages: The miniboss Armos Knight has an invulnerable shield and throws his sword at you and catches it when it returns. The trick is to pull a High-Speed Missile Dodge when it's coming back. Once the sword and shield destroy each other, he tries to run into you, but is now vulnerable to regular attacks. |

There was an episode in the original ThunderCats series where Mumm-ra disguised himself as King Arthur, claimed Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake, and sets out to pick a fight with Lion-o.

In Rune Soldier Louie, a man went around pretending to be a Master Swordsman and Knight In Shining Armor, but it turned out he had a "Dancing Sword", which did all of the fighting on its own, and he just held on.

Most likely Exor from Super Mario RPG. It doesn't move as much in battle due its size, but it doesn't have anyone wielding it and flies during cut scenes like the game's intro. Comes up again in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: During the third phase of Mario's fight against Cortez, Cortez lets go of his weapons—a cutlass, a bronze sword, a hook, and a rapier—and allows them to float in the air, each of which can now attack Mario independently of each other. |

Devil May Cry: Alastor introduces itself this way in the first game, suddenly floating and moving on its own when it was just previously held by an object. However, after surviving being impaled in the chest by it, Dante is able to subjugate it but only ever wields it by hand afterwards. Alastor later reappears in Viewtiful Joe as a regular character, now in possession of a humanoid form. He is able to summon and control copies of his own sword form, where they will appear in mid-air and then home in on the player. He can also transform and fly around as a blade, attempting to slice and skewer his opponents. Vergil/Nelo Angelo has his Summoned Swords/Mirage Blades, which he throws magically as his ranged attack as both a boss and a playable character. He has a wide variety of uses and attacks with his floating swords (e.g. Storm of Blades, Flechette Storm, Reverse Shrapnel), but he never has to move his hands nor physically hold those Summoned Swords/Mirage Blades while performing these attacks. In Devil May Cry 4, the Gladius are flying reptile demons that can transform their bodies into swords. They always attack you in their flying sword forms. Also in Devil May Cry 4, Dante can acquire the Lucifer Devil Arm which can create several red blades that float in mid-air after he attacks. Dante has several moves that manipulate, reposition, or launch these blades without him needing to touch them at all. Of a particular note is the "Climax" move wherein Dante claps his hands to command the blades to surround him. In Devil May Cry 5, once Dante gains the Devil Sword Dante, he gains his own version of Summoned Swords, though unlike Vergil's ways of using them, Dante's floating swords mostly act as modifiers for his Styles or melee attacks. |

This trope appears on occasion in the Final Fantasy series: Exdeath from Dissidia Final Fantasy may carry his sword in his hand but when attacking he will always move it with magic. Vaan can also do this with a Magic Staff instead. Vayne Solidor, the Big Bad of Final Fantasy XII, commands several magical swords called Sephira. There are monsters in Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIII-2 that have an ability called Forge Blade which creates one of these as a new monster in the encounter. If you destroy the sword, it will create another shortly. In Final Fantasy XIV, the Sage's weapon are Nouliths, which look like four floating guns powered by magic. They're also a healer job. In Final Fantasy XV, Noctis has a whole arsenal of weapon he wields this way using his Royalty Super Power. |

Two instances in Sword and Fairy series, both times with the power of the wielder. In Sword & Fairy 6 Yue Qi has a permanently floating sword, that flies at the enemy by itself for most of her attacks. In Sword and Fairy 7 Xiu Wu can utilize seemingly any sword in this manner with his Deity powers. He still holds his weapon in hand for the most part, but several combos make use of it. |

In Neverwinter Nights, the Swords of Never guarding a tomb are supposed to be these. In fact, the designers cheated a little- you're actually fighting human warriors with 'null' character models, so only their swords are visible.

Early in Fantaghirò, the White Knight training her has her fight a flying sword, to teach her that the best defense is not, in fact, offense. The lesson is that defending yourself takes priority over attacking the enemy. | |

BlazBlue: Litchi Faye-Ling can control her staff to fly towards her opponent to smack them with it from afar. With Daisharin, she can control it more easily as she attacks. | |

Kingdom Hearts: In Kingdom Hearts II, two of Sora's Drive Forms have him do this with his Keyblades. In Master Form he holds one Keyblade in his right hand while levitating the other with his left, while in Final Form both Keyblades follow his every movement, flying around to strike enemies even when he's not actively attacking. As a successor of sorts to Final Form, when Sora enters his Ultimate Form in Kingdom Hearts III he wields numerous blades of light in this manner. The Final Boss of the Re Mind scenario of Kingdom Hearts III: Re��Mind wields thirteen Keyblades, holding one in hand and controlling the others telekinetically. Likewise, Aqua from Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep can do this with her Keyblade when in her Spellweaver command style. Ventus's Wingblade style also summons swords of light that he brandishes without holding them. Xaldin of Organization XIII uses his mastery over the element of wind to carry and wield six spears in tandem. |

Honedge, Doublade and Aegislash from Pokémon X and Y are swords (or two in the case of Doublade) that move around thanks to being possessed by an ancient soul. Despite floating, they do not have the Levitate ability. | |

Terraria: There are three enemies that fit this: the Cursed Hammer from the Corruption, the Enchanted Sword from the Hallow, and the Crimson Axe from... guess. There are also a few player controlled weapons that fit this trope such as the Flying Knife, which follows the player's cursor. | |
