Only the Chosen May Wield	comment	In a fantasy story, or sometimes even a sci-fi series, there will be certain special items, such as a Magical Weapon, that only an attuned person can use. The most famous of these is the Sword in the Stone: Only King Arthur could remove the sword from the stone in which it was lodged, and thus proved that he was the true king of England.note Naturally enough, this is often assumed to be the same sword as Arthurâ€™s famous blade Excalibur; see below for multiple examples. However, as it isn't the only story about how Arthur acquired Excalibur, this isnâ€™t certain. Depending on the Writer is Older Than Print, after all. That being said, in some cases anyone could wield Excalibur, but only Arthur could remove it. May be the first evidence of Because Destiny Says So or The Chosen One. Such an item may also be The Chooser of the One. If the wielder also happens to be The Chosen Zero they might also be The Team Benefactor by virtue of providing access to it. A Sister Trope to Only the Worthy May Pass. Compare Situational Sword, Finders Rulers (which this trope can result in). See also Only the Chosen May Ride. For those who are not attuned, see here.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_10ddd3d5	comment	In other cases, the game prevents Link from finding it (and the plot usually doesn't even make mention of it) until a certain point. In Twilight Princess, for example, Link is chosen from the get-go, being a descendant of the Hero of Time and the bearer of the Triforce of Courage (which is explained when he's granted the clothes of the hero). When he goes to get the Master Sword, it's simply a matter of finding it; it did not require any kind of proof of the gods (other than possibly having to solve their puzzle, which itself may only have required his lineage to complete). A similar circumstance transpires in Hyrule Warriors, where the primary difficulty in getting the sword is the army of ghost soldiers who are being manipulated to stop him from reaching it. It should be noted that in both of the above cases, Link has already accomplished a number of heroic feats by the time he goes for the Master Sword, which may be proof enough for the gods without the need for additional tests.

It was one of the first known instances of Kryptonian technology being DNA codified to prevent its misuse. Excalibur also appears in Book Four, following the classical mythology as having been created by Merlin himself and wielded by King Arthur in the past.

This stems from the beginning of her reign, when she found out her sister Solia stole the wand and used it to usurp the throne from Helena.

Servant Faker is able to use Iskandar's Skills and Noble Phantasms due to being his Body Double in life to the point she doesn't actually have a name of her own, simply being called "Iskandar's Shadow", represented by her own Skill "For He is Another Iskandar (Fake)". As revealed in Grand Order, this includes the Reality Marble Ionian Hetaroi, but due to who she is and its specific requirements she'll die after invoking it. Ergo can use Sun Wukong's extending staff Ruyi Jingu Bang because he was infused with some of Sun Wukong's power. Ergo was also infused with some of Set's power, allowing him to use his Noble Phantasm, Per Djet. Per Djet allows him to paralyze an enemy, and when he releases them, he can copy their Noble Phantasm. Typhon stole Harpe and Nega-Keraunos, the thunderbolts of Zeus, in life.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_1a12bbee	comment	The Mighty Thor: Only a handful of beings have been able to wield the legendary hammer MjÃ¶lnir to date: Odin, Thor, Captain America, Storm, Wonder Woman (in the crossover Marvel Versus DC), Spider-Man 2099, Thunderstrike, Beta Ray Bill, Jane Foster, Puddlegulp the frog, and Eddie Brock. If someone is unworthy, they will be unable to budge it from the ground. However, if a worthy person is holding it, an unworthy person will still be able to lift them. Note, however, that this trope does not come from Norse Mythology: in the myths, Mjolnir is simply a hammer so heavy that only Thor, the strongest God of all, can lift it (and even requiring a special belt called MegingjÃ¶rÃ° and a set of iron gloves called JÃ¡rngreipr to augment his strength even further). In fact, it was even stolen by the Giant Thrym in the Poetic Edda, who requested a marriage with Freya as ransom. Jack Kirby had to rely to this trope when he created the character because the Marvel Universe was already a setting with characters with superhuman strength. Being "worthy" was just a way to ensure that only Thor would lift the hammer, and for a long while nobody else was. In-universe, the "worthiness" requirement was imposed by Odin rather than being intrinsic to the hammer. It's also possible for somebody was previously unworthy to become worthy (as seen with Eddie Brock) or to lose their worthiness (as seen temporarily with Thor) if their mentality changes to become more or less noble than they used to be. Interestingly, in one story set in the far future, Captain America wielded the hammer but would regularly announce that on certain days, he'd set the hammer on the ground and allow anyone to try and lift it. He viewed wielding the hammer and the subsequent power and responsibility that came with as simply too much, and genuinely hoped someone worthy would come along to relieve him. Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) took up the hammer and used it to take over his corrupt corporation and set it on a more noble and altruistic path. The Board of Directors didn't like what he was doing, and he had a novel way of dealing with their complaints... In JLA/Avengers, Superman wasn't naturally able to use it, but due to the desperate situation, Odin temporarily suspended the enchantment so Superman could use it to save the day. Superman feels a moment of self-doubt when he is unable to lift the hammer after the battle is over, but Thor praises his performance with it, saying, "Perhaps it was but briefly... but it was in good hands." The general presumption is that being the weapon of a Norse god, "worthiness" includes a warrior component, which Wonder Woman meets but Superman doesn't. One issue of Deadpool had him get the hammer, and all the powers contained therein. It all turned out to be an illusion created by Loki to mess with Thor's head. Shame... In a storyline based in an alternate future, Thor becomes unworthy after becoming an Evil Overlord. His son Magni proves worthy and takes up the hammer. Eventually, when Desak the God Slayer is about to kill Magni, MjÃ¶lnir lets Thor use it again to save his son's life, since his love for his son redeemed him. In one issue of Power Pack, MjÃ¶lnir permits Zero-G (Alex Power) to use it when he catches it on the backswing. Beta Ray Bill's personal hammer, Stormbreaker, has a similar enchantment, although the Skrulls were able to split it into a pair of axes and give it to a Super-Skrull during Secret Invasion. In the story Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter, Bill became unworthy and could not lift Stormbreaker after he became so obsessed with revenge against Galactus that he started blowing up the planets Galactus intended to consume in an attempt to starve him to death, and infected one race with a bioweapon when they refused to evacuate. Bill redeems himself and regains his hammer when he saves Galactus' life. During the events of AXIS, Loki could wield it. It's unclear how much of that happened thanks to their own attempts at redemption or because they were under the inversion spell, but either way it was temporary and after the dust settled, it quickly became clear Loki was back to not being able to wield it. For a time after the events of Original Sin, no god could wield MjÃ¶lnir, not even Odin himself, which turns out to be because of Thor â€” during a particularly bad period â€” agreeing with Gorr the God Butcher that the gods are evil and do not deserve worship and unwittingly influencing MjÃ¶lnir's enchantment. Once Thor comes to his senses thanks to a pep talk from Beta Ray Bill, he and any other worthy gods become capable of wielding it again. In an issue of What If? Don Blake's Love Interest Jane Foster finds the hammer instead of him and becomes Thordis. Another "What If" story involving Black Widow shows just how quickly one can change from "unworthy" to "worthy". Nat tries to budge the hammer during a fight, but can't. Then, still in danger, she shoots down a monster attacking someone else rather than defend herself. Boom. Marvel Zombies has its version of Thor (zombified) using a hammer made from concrete and rebar, as the Hunger Gospel has left him unworthy of MjÃ¶lnir. In Secret Empire, it seems that Steve Rogers, having been corrupted into being a HYDRA agent, was still worthy of the hammer. However, it's revealed that a shard of the Cosmic Cube changed the magic around the worthiness to allow him to do so and, when the real Steve came back and history was restored, the other Steve discovered, to his horror, that he wasn't worthy anymore. Red Hulk is unworthy, but he managed to bypass the enchantment and use the hammer against Thor by taking advantage of the fact he was in a zero gravity environment. He also exploited the fact that he could still lift Thor while he was holding the hammer. In a rematch, he tried to grab it while on Earth; Thor immediately let go, and the hammer promptly crushed his hands under its weight. Magneto and Moon Knight are both able to manipulate MjÃ¶lnir and use it against Thor, thanks to unique circumstances; Magneto because his metal-controlling powers work on the hammer, Moon Knight because MjÃ¶lnir was forged using a moon rock-based ore (uru) and he is the champion of a moon deity. While this allows them to telekinetically move it, however, they explicitly cannot truly "wield" it in the traditional sense. They cannot lift it with their bare hands and don't gain the power of Thor, as they are essentially just "bypassing" the enchantment with their powers, much like Red Hulk did by grabbing it in space. The rule also applies to sentient robots like Ultron and The Vision, who are subject to the worthiness clause as anyone else. However, it does not apply to robots without a will of their own, or to other machines. However, despite being sentient and evil, The Destroyer has no problem picking up the hammer, with some claiming it is because it is not alive. In one What If? issue, Rogue becomes worthy of wielding MjÃ¶lnir, mostly because she has completely absorbed Thor. During the final battle of The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect, the Maestro, an evil version of the Hulk from a Bad Future, attempts to use MjÃ¶lnir against the mainstream Hulk. Predictably, it fails to even budge and when a baffled Maestro curses that he's more powerful then ever, Rick Jones reaffirms that one's physical strength is meaningless; if you don't meet the hammer's criteria of goodness, you aren't lifting the damn hammer, and a blood-soaked dictator like Maestro most certainly does not meet the criteria. During Donny Cates' Thor run, MjÃ¶lnir is destroyed and has to be reconstructed. Unfortunately, something goes awry with the reforging process and the defect causes the worthiness enchantment is inverted, with everyone except Thor being capable of wielding, even people who would have never been able to use it before like Iron Man, Loki, and even a completely random farmer.

Hulk noticeably struggles to keep it aloft for the short time he's using it (nor can he use its electricity), but he's able to do so long enough to hurl it at Thor with enough strength to knock him out and then pick it up again to try and decapitate Thor with the ax-end before Captain America knocks him away and gets the weapon out of his hands for the remainder of the fight.

There's even a ceremony near the beginning of the game where newly recruited "heroes" take a shot at drawing the sword. Sure enough, the main character fails his first attempt... But after being possessed by a demon shortly afterward, touching it causes them to cancel each other out and seal the demon inside of him. The sword itself disappears, and he was still never "chosen" until the final battle, when he's trapped inside his own soul and uses The Power of Friendship to draw the sword and kill the demon.

He viewed wielding the hammer and the subsequent power and responsibility that came with as simply too much, and genuinely hoped someone worthy would come along to relieve him. Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099) took up the hammer and used it to take over his corrupt corporation and set it on a more noble and altruistic path. The Board of Directors didn't like what he was doing, and he had a novel way of dealing with their complaints...

While this allows them to telekinetically move it, however, they explicitly cannot truly "wield" it in the traditional sense. They cannot lift it with their bare hands and don't gain the power of Thor, as they are essentially just "bypassing" the enchantment with their powers, much like Red Hulk did by grabbing it in space.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_2192aeb3	comment	Commonly seen in Fire Emblem: In Fire Emblem Gaiden, the Royal Sword can only be wielded by one of royal blood. Tobin (an ordinary commoner) finds it unwieldably heavy, while Alm (the hidden prince of Rigel) finds it as light as a feather. The Holy Weapons of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War are tied to specific bloodlines and require "major" Holy Blood to wield. The Mani Katti blade from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. It's sort of an Arthurian thing... Lyn successfully removed it from its scabbard after the level boss failed. Of course, she had to kill him to get it done. That said, the trope is played with since the priest guarding it had specifically put a spell to keep it from being drawn and dispelled it after the boss was killed. That said, the Mani Katti glowing in Lyn's hands as it chose her is its own doing. Fire Emblem: Awakening: The Falchion is tied to the Ylissian royal family and is fairly picky even among them, even if Lucina has Grimleal blood. It's an interesting example because, technically, anybody can use it. The blade just becomes too dull to be any good for fighting if it's not in the hands of a royal family member. This also becomes a plot point in Lucina's supports with her siblingnote who can possibly be Brady, Inigo, Kjelle, Cynthia, or a male Morgan, when she ponders if he/she can wield it too, especially if he/she ended up needing to because Lucina died in battle. After some angst over the subject (because the sibling didn't want to think of his/her sister dying), they finally test it against a log. Lucina ends up leaving before finding out, the sibling walks away thinking he/she can't, but a line of dialogue from Chrom reveals he/she can. Walhart has a battleaxe known as the Wolf Berg, which only he can wield. Fire Emblem Fates: The Avatar's Yato, Xander's Siegfried sword, Ryoma's Raijinto katana, Takumi's Fujin Yumi and Leo's Brynhildr tome, among others. The only time these weapons are used by others is during the Heirs of Fate DLC, where their owners are dead, and the new wielders were their children. Ophelia has a tome named Mysteltainn (a Call-Back to the similarly named sword from Genealogy of the Holy War and her dad Odin's unrelated blade), and no one but her can use it either. The Heroes' Relics in Fire Emblem: Three Houses are a downplayed case. Anyone with a Crest, a special power in certain bloodlines, can use most Heroes' Relics, but only people with a Crest that matches the Relic's will be able to use its combat art or gain additional benefits. Anyone who uses a Heroes' Relic with no Crest at all will either be injured by it or be turned into a Demonic Beast. In Fire Emblem Heroes there are a number of weapons that are only exclusive to the unit it's attached to, and can't be inherited by another unit using Inherit Skill.

In a nod to his worthiness in the comics, Steve is able to shift it slightly, which causes Thor to look nervous for a second. Tony, in his traditional snark, tries to shoot down the idea: After coming to life, Vision innocently, casually, and single-handedly passes Thor his hammer, instantly proving to the team (and the audience) that he's one of the good guys. Though Steve and Tony later ponder whether it was because Vision is a machine. At the end of the movie, Tony and Steve have a discussion about worthiness, noting they've seen Thor rest the hammer on the floor of an ascending elevator and it continued to rise, snarking that the elevator was worthy.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_223c2a48	comment	This leads to some tension between Link and Zelda in Breath of the Wild. In preparation for the coming of Calamity Ganon, Link is quickly found to be the true wielder of the Master Sword and is made Zelda's bodyguard in response. Zelda, on the other hand, is unable to unlock her "Sealing Power" necessary to defeat Ganon; she thus finds Link's presence a constant reminder of her own failure to fulfill her destiny. Only by gradually opening up to her protector does she find out that Link is just as nervous as she is about the upcoming fight against Ganon. And when Link goes to reclaim the sword after the Great Calamity, he has to prove himself worthy to wield it again despite having done so in the past and in numerous past lives. The process of pulling the Master Sword from its pedestal slowly drains Link's life, and should the player fail to have the necessary hearts (or have taken sufficient damage when they go for the attempt) then Link dies attempting to pull it out (although the Deku Tree will stop him at a quarter-heart the first time he tries). TotK indicates that this second proving is a consequence of the damage that the sword took during the Great Calamity; when Link draws it again in a flashback shortly before the events of the sequel, the Deku Tree claims that it has fully recovered, and he pulls it from the pedestal without struggle or fanfare.

The Black Tezcatlipoca had to be sealed in the second episode using the Red one because it was enveloping the countryside and forcing everyone it touched into an endless sleep without a wielder. Unfortunately a bitter child raised in the land of the dead proves to be the kind of person it wanted. The Red Tezcatlipoca, or Judgement Scythe, can only be wielded by one with a strong will and sense of justice. It incinerated a selfish village chief who wanted to use it to gain an advantage over the local spirit, Murder, and then would have swamped the village in lava if Murder hadn't been willing to sacrifice herself to tame it. In episode 35 it tries to destroy another city after Murder loses her powers and the seal she placed on it is broken. But Kitty essentially scolds it into letting her wield it. The Blue, Liberation Machete, neutralizes magic and thus rejects spirits, but it's also too much for mortals to handle. Potentially it could free those caught in the Black, but it's useless without a wielder. The White Bow of Mercy has yet to choose a wielder, though many have tried. Its' true wielder should be able to use it as a Healing Shiv, but in anyone else's hands it generates Annoying Arrows. Calamity came to possess the Tuning Fork after passing the Secret Test of Character Tlaloc had set up, but while Tlaloc could use it to cast multiple spells she can only use the hydrokinesis spell. Ichabod can produce lightning while Huey has the tracking spell.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Only true Gryffindors can draw Gryffindor's sword from the Sorting Hat. Or more precisely, someone with Gryffindor "qualities" such as bravery and valor. A true Gryffindor is not just someone who got Sorted into the house, but someone who truly upholds the ideals that Godric himself prized. In all the series, only Harry and Neville were confirmed to be able to summon the blade to their side. They needed to uphold these ideals and, in addition, still have the humility to ask the Hat for help. "The wand chooses the wizard". A wizard can use a wand not their own; wands are stolen, borrowed, or inherited fairly frequently. But magic channeled through another's wand will never be as easy or as powerful as when the wizard uses his own. On the other hand, a wizard who defeats/kills another in a Wizard Duel will often be able to command the obedience of his vanquished opponent's wand. Willingly returning the wand to its owner will cancel this transfer of magical ownership, though. Meaning that wizards who duel for practice or sport aren't going to be at constant risk of losing command of their wand. After Professor Snape kills Albus Dumbledore, Lord Voldemort claims Dumbledore's wand, the Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in the world. Because he is not the true owner, he cannot use it to its full potential. Thinking that since Snape killed Dumbledore, he is the true owner, Voldemort kills him. What he didn't know was that shortly before Dumbledore died, Draco Malfoy disarmed him, making Malfoy the true owner unknowingly. Harry later beats Malfoy in a physical fight, making Harry the true owner. In the final battle, Voldemort tries to use the Elder Wand to kill Harry. The Elder Wand refuses to harm its true owner, foreshadowed in an earlier scene where Voldemort used Crucio on Harry to test if he was playing dead, but it did nothing to him, so it backfires and kills Voldemort. If a basilisk counts as a weapon, only the rightful Heir of Slytherin could command it, meaning it wouldn't have listened if Harry tried to use Parseltongue to communicate with it.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_3b43a214	comment	Camelot: Subverted Trope in the Showtime series. The sword is indeed stuck in a stone, but the problem with removing it is that it's at the top of a waterfall, covered in moss, and the ground is naturally wet (since it's, you know, submerged). It is indeed stuck, and anyone that tried to remove it previously inevitably loses their grip and falls off the waterfall to their death. However, Arthur (thanks to some contrary advice from Merlin) realizes that in order to free the sword, it must first be pushed into the rock, adjusted so that it won't catch, and then pulled out. It's heavily implied that anyone could have done this, they just didn't know it. Arthur also falls off the waterfall, but he gets better.

It confuses Ayeka as to why Tenchi, a boy from Earth, could wield it and it isn't until Tenchi's grandfather Katsuhito spells out everything (namely, that Katsuhito's her long-lost brother Yosho) that she understands why. It's unknown if Ayeka's tiara or other royal Juraian devices have the same defense, though.

And because the king also has some influence over the magic of the Enchanted Forest, in a sense the sword also chooses who has the right to wield the kingdom itself. Furthermore, if the sword is taken out of the Forest, it will burn anyone who isn't a member of the royal family, or married into said family.

This is used against him when Cusack uses his Resonant magic to brainwash Arthur into impaling himself with Excalibur. Since only Arthur can lift Excalibur, no one else can save him by removing the sword from his chest, preventing Elizabeth from using her healing magic on him. Eventually, Merlin takes his body to a magic lake that brings him back to life, allowing him to pull the sword out.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: The three holy Swords used by Knights of the Cross are named Fidelacchius, Esperacchius, and Amoracchius.note In Ghost Story reveals their other historical monikers to be Kusanagi, Durandal and Excalibur. Each Sword responds strongly to powerful faith, hope, and love, respectively. Holding to that ideal is key in allowing the Sword to draw out its full strength on behalf of the bearer.note Note that none of these feelings need be towards God, just focusing on the base feeling. A man who believes in right overcoming wrong, that one person can make a difference, can wield the Sword of Faith, while a supernatural-monster mother defending her daughter from the forces of evil can draw out the Sword of Love's power even if she is tainted by evil herself. Sanya, Knight of Hope, doesn't even believe in God, taking an agnostic view, but has never had trouble drawing out his Sword's power. Further, it's revealed in Small Favor that several of the most recent Knights have royalty in their ancestrynote Shiro was descended from the last king of Okinawa, Michael is descended from Charlemagne, and Sanya's ancestry links him to Saladin, which strongly implies that Butters has royal ancestry as well. It is also important to note not every wielder is meant to be a life-long Knight. Many Knights are one-timers, who take up the Sword during some crisis, wield it to victory, and leave it aside once the danger has past. Note that unworthy mortals can still pick up and fight with the Swords, but the weapons don't provide them with any particular advantage over plain steel, unless their motives are pure and become worthy in their choices. Moreover, if a treacherous person is given authority over the blade, say the Knight gives a thief the Sword to defend himself when the Knight is out of commission, wielding a Sword in a treacherous or unjust manner renders the holy blade vulnerable to destruction, either physical or (if used to kill an innocent) spiritual. In the Fae Courts, there are the respective Mantles of the Summer and Winter Knights. Each Knight is selected for the position by one of the court's three Queens. In order of strongest to weakest, they are The Queen Who Was, The Queen Who Is, and The Queen Who Will Be. Now, while a Knight could be considered suitable by one of the Queens, if an older one deems the Knight unworthy, they can kill the Knight and claim the mantle to select a new knight. Of the strongest of holy magics, Soulfire, the thing He and His angels used to make Reality, can be given to a mortal to wield, but can only be done when Lucifer has acted first with giving his agents Super-Hellfire. Soulfire, when invoked, makes the magic or action have more substance, making it able to break through some mystical defenses that a foe might have. However, it eats at the soul of the user and if one uses too much, the person will not recover. Fortunately, souls regenerate fairly quickly in this setting - even faster if you do something positive, like hang out with friends and have fun. On the other side, there are the thirty siver Denarii and their power. Each Denarius houses in it a Fallen Angel, one of Lucifer's top forces who joined with him against God or otherwise betrayed Godnote Lucifer chose them not just for their power but out of concern they would work to overthrow him one day. Better to send them away to cause problems elsewhere.. If the Coin lacks a host, then when a person's skin touches the coin a shadow of the Fallen imprints itself into the mind of the person. It is at this moment what "worthy" means comes into play. If the Fallen sees the mortal as a weakling in spirit, mind, or body, they will break the mortal's spirit and subsume their will to the Fallens. The mortal then becomes a puppet and the Fallen will control the body but not have as much power as in other situations. If the mortal has a strong spirit, the Fallen will work to make their goals similar to the mortal so they will work in concert, granting the mortal more power and the Fallen more freedoms. As each Fallen has different values and goals, what might make one a worthwhile partnership to Lasciel the Webweaver would not Ursiel the brute.

Dean needs a sword that can kill a dragon; conveniently the local expert has one of the only surviving swords in her basement. Unfortunately it's embedded in a huge stone, both to prevent people stealing it and well, because it was fashionable a while back. Only a brave knight can remove the stone, so Dean rises to the challenge... and fails ignominiously as shown here. Time for Plan B, which involves cracking the stone with plastic explosive. It works, only for Dean to discover he's cracked the sword in half too. In season nine, in order to wield the First Blade and kill Abaddon, Dean needs to bear the Mark of Cain. Cain agrees to give it to him in exchange for help with his self-termination problem.

The Amulet of Kings makes its first in-game appearance, passing from the Emperor to the Player Character in the early stages of the game. True to lore, the player character cannot wear it, getting a message that it simply "slips off" your neck if you try. It eventually makes its way into the hands of the Emperor's Hidden Backup Prince, Martin, who performs a Heroic Sacrifice at the end of the main quest with it. The Amulet is destroyed, but it summons an avatar of Akatosh who banishes Mehrunes Dagon and saves the world.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers has various examples of this with the Rangers themselves. In most cases other parties choose the Rangers, most commonly when dealing with the Rangers who more explicitly get their powers from technology (Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue, Power Rangers S.P.D., Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, etc.). However, when dealing with those Rangers who are at least potentially powered by Magitek, their mentors often affirm that the power chooses the Rangers rather than it just being random, such as the animal crystals of Power Rangers Wild Force and the Dino Gems of Power Rangers: Dino Thunder only "activating" once they are brought into contact with the relevant future Ranger. Only a few cases have explicitly discussed the idea of the Rangers alone being able to wield their powers; Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: The five Quasar Sabers from the planet Mirinoi, which like Caliburn/Excalibur are firmly planted inside a stone until the chosen ones finally pull them. The only Ranger born on Mirinoi, Maya, had already tried to remove one as a kid, so either she spent all that time trying to free the wrong saber or the sabers themselves have some say in when they're released. They're not one-to-one, either, as two of the sabers are passed on during the series; Mike Corbett drew the Red Saber originally but passed it on to his brother Leo before he apparently died, and after Pink Ranger Kendrix was killed in battle, her spirit appeared to pass her saber on to former villain Astronema/Karone. The question of 'why don't you just smash the rocks' is also addressed: Furio's first instinct upon his failure to pull the sword out is to try that...and he can't even scratch the rocks, something he himself remarks is insane, implying the magical spell protecting the swords is also protecting the rock. The thirtieth-anniversary special Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always explicitly acknowledges that the Rangers' power sources choose them in some way. When original Yellow Ranger Trini Kwan is killed in battle, her daughter Minh attempts to use the Yellow Sabretooth Tiger coin for herself, but is initially unable to use the coin as she only wants to fight out of a desire for revenge for her mother's death. After Minh risks her life to save Billy- the original Blue Ranger- from another attack, the Yellow Coin responds to Minh and allows her to morph. The other Rangers speculate that this is because Minh acted to save a life rather than to punish an enemy, with fellow Yellow Ranger Aisha Campbell assuring Minh that she is now a worthy Ranger. Power Rangers Cosmic Fury opened with the Dino Fury team losing their original powers and zords, requiring aid from Billy Cranston to gain a new power source and new morphers. The most significant result of this was former Pink Ranger Amelia becoming the team's new Red Ranger (their original Red had been seemingly killed and returned as the Zenith Ranger), with Billy assuring Amelia that she wouldn't be the Red Ranger if the power didn't believe she was worthy.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_553051f	comment	Green Lantern: All Green Lantern Rings — and all the other colors — require a user to have a sufficient amount of the emotion that powers it, and be mostly free of the emotion that opposes it. The Sinestro Corps rings vary slightly in that they rely on their wearers' ability to instil fear in others. One of them tried to recruit Batman in the lead-up to the Sinestro Corps War, but he rejected it. This was actually a retcon as, during the Silver Age and further on, anyone could run around with a Green Lantern ring if they were taken from their user. Since Green Lantern: Rebirth, the sufficient amount of emotion was set in place; during Rebirth Green Arrow tried to use a back-up ring but his cynical willpower left him feeling like he hadn't slept for a week when the only construct he created was a single arrow. While, with most of the Corps, many embody the emotion enough to wield the ring, for the Orange lantern corps, effectively only one can be "worthy" to wield the Orange Ringâ€™s power. The Orange Ring emotion is Greed, and whoever is Greedy enough to wield the power of the Orange Ring is too Greedy to share it. The White Lantern Battery in Brightest Day. Hal and Carol refer to it as the sword in the stone, to Sinestro's confusion.

When they get attacked, Razor pulls the sword out, causing the attackers to stop. They say whoever pulls the Dragon Sword out is the chosen one to save them from the Pastmaster. The people constantly treat Razor like a hero while snubbing T-Bone. However, anyone else can use the sword after it is pulled, as while Razor is busy saving Queen Callista, T-Bone uses it to slay the Pastmaster's dragon and defeat him. Callista declares they are both heroes before sending them home.

To top it off, it only allows the use of its full power when the user is wearing The Belt of Ironfist and The Gauntlet of Ironfist, so it is also a reference to MjÇ«llnir. Most players will have helped Khelgar with his personal quest to become a Monk by the time the Hammer is found, and a Monk cannot use hammers, making it a Power Up Let Down. The Sword of Gith can only be used by the Kalach-Cha for a different reason. It will only work if all the shards are together, and one of them is embedded in the KC's chest.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_5ce3fc86	comment	In Soul Eater, all weapons are assigned to a particular partner upon enrollment in Shibusen, based on the interlocking personalities of the weapon and meister. Generally speaking, it is impossible for a weapon to be wielded by someone who isn't their partner because their inner natures tend to clash. Adult Meisters/Weapons appear to be free of this restriction, which is said to have something to do with the fact that wielding a Weapon is about how the souls of both meister and Weapon react to one another, and seems to rely on some level of mutual understanding and compromise - too much conflict spoils the resonance and people get hurt, or even fall flat on the ground if they happen to be up in the air when you start arguing. As such, it's implied that the Adults are much better at handling their composure, allowing for a wider range of partners. This isn't to say if an Adult pair start to argue they'll stop resonating, or that there are pairs that would never be able to work, just that that's never been depicted in the series. The fact that most Adults seem to have a preferred/assigned partner supports this. Excalibur is also present in the series and is the only weapon who averts this trope by being potentially able to be wielded by anyone: His numerous powers include the ability to adjust his soul wavelength to go along perfectly with anyone... Except his personality is so extremely obnoxious that no-one wants to get within two leagues of him.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_5f71a70b	comment	Xenoblade Chronicles: Xenoblade Chronicles 1: The Monado can't be wielded by just anyone, and may temporarily take over anyone who tries. It can be wielded by someone with sufficient willpower even if they aren't the chosen one, as seen with Dunban. But this comes at the cost of increasingly severe damage to his body to the point of permanently paralyzing his right arm and nearly killing him when he starts using it with his left. The only one who can properly wield it unharmed is Shulk. This is because it's a Living Weapon (and not a nice one), containing the soul of an Evil God, Zanza. Shulk can use it freely only because he's said God's chosen vessel, and he's unwittingly been doing exactly what Zanza wanted. Xenoblade Chronicles 2: The Core Crystals that give Blades their form require a sort of aptitude or potential to manifest the entity and the weapon it carries. Those found inadequate are harmed, or even killed, on mere contact with the Core Crystal. A small, scrawny Gormotti (who is a viable Driver) is shoved aside by a larger, bulkier man who grabs the crystal, cries out in pain, and passes out with blue particle effects bursting from his body; the way the other characters talk about it, it's not a pretty sight. From there, only that Driver can fully bring out that Blade's power and effectively use its weapon; there are some cases of a Driver grabbing the weapon of another's Blade to use, but those are usually extremely desperate moments when their own Blade isn't fighting for some reason. There's also nothing stopping a Driver from resonating with multiple Blades. Rex and Amalthus can resonate with and use any Blade, even ones awakened by someone else, due to being designated as the "Master Drivers" due to their links to the Aegises. Party member Tora ended up with a three-day-long nosebleed after failing to resonate with a crystal, but luckily for him, him and similarly lacking in aptitude father and grandfather are all brilliant engineers who decided to just make Artificial Blades that anyone can use even without Driver aptitude. Such results include Tora's Blade Poppi, Lila, Poppibuster and his "pilot" Poppi Mk. II (who sure enough can be equipped to any Driver in the party aside from Tora himself without needing to use an Overdrive Protocol to transfer ownership), and the fully mechanical ones Tora's father was forced to build under threat of death. It should be noted that the proper aptitude for wielding a Blade is fairly arbitrary. Ever so often, you'll find a Boss in Mook's Clothing that is a monster that has happened to come across and resonate with a Blade, which now follows it around and defends it. Such is the case for the story fight with an Elder Arachno who bonded with the Rare Blade Wulfric, with the party claiming his Core Crystal after killing the monster. Even Blades can become the Drivers of other Blades, though all the cases shown of these Driver-Blades were also Flesh Eaters, Blades who integrated human cells to gain independence from needing a link with a Driver to survive in the first place, or an Aegis, aka the original Blades who have the ability to directly link with any Core Crystal since they're the overseers of the whole system. A key part of the plot is the "core crystal cleansing process." Cores are shipped to the Praetorium, where Praetor Amalthus does something that makes it easier for people to resonate with them. It's still not easy to find Drivers, but it is much easier than the normal way, so every nation sends their cores to Amalthus, and this makes his religion a political powerhouse. As it turns out, Blades accumulate data every time they are activated. As they live and grow, they become more powerful, eventually evolving from Common Blades into Unique Blades. The downside, however, is that they also become much pickier about who can resonate with them. Furthermore, once a Blade has accumulated enough data it will evolve into a Titan, one of the massive beasts that people live on. The reason no more continent-sized Titans are being born is because of the cleansing process. Amalthus is fully aware of this, and furthermore is aware that the dwindling livable land is causing more wars and will eventually result in the end of the world... but he doesn't care, because he hates everyone. Xenoblade Chronicles 3: One of the key gameplay mechanics is class switching, where the heroes use each other's weapons and the abilities that come with it. However, while everyone can use Noah's Veiled Sword, that's actually the sheathe of his real weapon, the Lucky Seven. This is the only weapon that can cut through the otherwise invincible Flame Clocks. In Future Redeemed, it's strongly implied that Lucky Seven has the core crystals of both Pneuma and Logos, two of the Aegises, in it, explaining why it's so powerful. The first story DLC introduces Ino, an Artificial Blade in the same vein as Xenoblade Chronicles 2. She declares that Noah is her destined Driver, and successfully forges an affinity link with him. This confuses everyone else to no end, because that's not how Blades work any more.

The gun is in some ways semi-sentient, burning any demons that touch it and sometimes lightly burning good beings if it doesn't want to be held by them any longer. It can typically be held by anyone who isn't a demon, but it doesn't fire at all - it only works for the Chosen One Earp heir, the oldest Earp currently available. Since the Earp sisters are the first generation to contain more than one child, it's not clear whether the stipulation is actually 'oldest' or if any Earp can wield it, because the only sister unable to is Waverly, who is not an Earp by blood.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor's hammer, MjÃ¶lnir, arguably goes on as much of a journey as any of the characters throughout the franachise. Thor: Thor is exiled to Midgard (Earth) and stripped of his power, and his hammer MjÃ¶lnir is given an enchantment from Odin that allows only those who are worthy to wield it. Thor initially tracks the hammer down, intending to regain his power, but is shocked to discover that he isn't worthy. After Character Development and a Heroic Sacrifice, the magic judges him worthy, and the hammer flies to him and restores his powers. Thor would also weaponize the hammer's worthiness in this and later films. Thor: Towards the end, he pins Loki to the ground by putting the unliftable hammer on his chest. The Avengers: He momentarily distracts The Hulk by having him catch the hammer but be unable to move it. Avengers: Age of Ultron: Pietro Maximoff catches it in midair but is sent flying until he lets go. Thor: Ragnarok: At the start, he casually stops a dragon by putting MjÃ¶lnir in its mouth. Avengers: Age of Ultron: The Avengers try to lift MjÃ¶lnir in a drunken party game. In a nod to his worthiness in the comics, Steve is able to shift it slightly, which causes Thor to look nervous for a second. Tony, in his traditional snark, tries to shoot down the idea: After coming to life, Vision innocently, casually, and single-handedly passes Thor his hammer, instantly proving to the team (and the audience) that he's one of the good guys. Though Steve and Tony later ponder whether it was because Vision is a machine. At the end of the movie, Tony and Steve have a discussion about worthiness, noting they've seen Thor rest the hammer on the floor of an ascending elevator and it continued to rise, snarking that the elevator was worthy. Thor: Ragnarok: Thor uses the worthiness clause to expose the fact that Loki is posing as Odin. Thor throws MjÃ¶lnir into the distance, grabs "Odin" by the neck and holds him in the hammer's return path. The real Odin, who is worthy, would be able to catch the weapon himself and avoid injury. Loki, who isn't worthy, has to yield and drop the charade so he doesn't get hit in the face. As a signal to the audience how strong Hela is, she catches MjÃ¶lnir in midair, holds it up, then effortlessly destroys it. Avengers: Endgame: After spending the last five years wallowing in misery, Thor borrows MjÃ¶lnir from the past during the group's time travel mission, and is beyond estatic to discover that he's still worthy. Later on, Steve wields it to save Thor's life during the final battle. Cue a Knew It All Along from Thor. A person not being chosen to wield is being played with in the final battle - Spider-Man is cornered by enemies, so Steve throws MjÃ¶lnir overhead towards him, Spider-Man grabs on to it and is promptly dragged along with it and out of immediate danger, since being unable to lift it off the ground and being unable to stop its momentum is the same thing. Thor: Love and Thunder: Following it's destruction by Hela, it turns out nobody could move the shattered pieces of MjÃ¶lnir, so they dug out the ground and turned it into an exhibit. When Jane Foster passes by the shattered hammer, the pieces sense her worthiness and the weapon comes back together for her to wield. In flashbacks, it's shown that Thor asked MjÃ¶lnir to always watch over Jane, unintentionally enchanting it to respond to her as a wielder. To Thor's shock, though he can still lift it, the hammer seems to reject him and prefer Jane as its wielder. He only regains the hammer when Jane dies. Thor's adopted daughter, Love, can evidently lift MjÃ¶lnir as well, since she moved it offscreen to a different spot from where it was resting.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons has its share of magical items (even without their own minds) that will help only "worthy" users and usually are dangerous for everyone else. Intelligent swords in general tend to act like this. They will only fully function for characters of the same alignment as the sword and working toward the weapon's special purpose (if any). Some weapons and magic items only work in the hands of certain races or certain sexes or some other criteria. And usually try to harm and/or dominate any would-be wielders they don't approve. Blade-rite of Forgotten Realms elves, including two prominent groups of artifacts bonded with their wielders. Elfblades are regalia of high offices and prevent anyone who isn't up to the task or whom they don't appreciate from wielding them and thus from holding an office: "unworthy" claimants suffer harm, curse or instant death, depending on the blade and failed condition. Since claiming the Rulerâ€™'s Blade was the only legitimate way to the throne, in Myth Drannor it caused a morbidly hilarious scene when hundreds of elves waited in the queue for their chance to raise on top of the tower, grab the pommel and get blasted into ashes in full view of the crowd... and then started a fight to get there faster. Moonblades were designed as a means to choose the single "best" clan as the royal family of their new realm. They kill all claimants who aren't "worthy" and of proper blood (namely, moon elves, hence the name—their creator was a moon elf, can you tell?), while growing both in powers and requirements with each generation until they're practically impossible to both claim and wield. Until they ended up with the King Sword that stayed unclaimed for years after the king's death, while members of the royal family were inexplicably plagued by either lethal accidents or sudden calls of adventure carrying them far away from the line to the throne. The Holy Avenger, Carsomyr, is an extremely powerful +5 two-handed sword that dispel magic with every hit. It can only be wielded by paladins. The Sword of Zariel in Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus is a sentient longsword that belonged to Zariel before she fell from grace and became the archdevil that rules Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. If the sword deems you worthy of its power, then you not only get a +3 weapon, but one that gives you several perks; you get resistance to radiant and necrotic damage, learn the Celestial language, your charisma is increased to 20 if it's not already that high, you can fly, and you get True Sight. The sword itself has two minor beneficial properties (chosen at random), gives advantage on insight checks, can give off light that gives fiends a disadvantage on attack rolls, and deals extra radiant damage that can potentially blind your target with every hit. However, you're transformed into an angel in all but name, which changes your alignment to lawful good and overwrites your personality to a degree, the transformation is irreversible, and you potentially have to give the sword back to Zariel to redeem her.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_70814599	comment	Stargate SG-1: In the episode "Avalon", Merlin's cavern has a sword in the stone (which probably inspired the Arthurian legend in-universe), unable to be removed. After the team completes the tests, Mitchell is able to pull it out, and he discovers that it's a hologram. Only he can interact with it as if it was physical, and when he throws it to Teal'c, it just passes through him. It's also the only thing that can defeat the knight guarding the place. A second is later found on the planet Camelot, outside Merlin's house. This one is a physical object, but otherwise has the same rules.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_70b26f38	comment	Fate/strange Fake: False Assassin was a member of The Hashshashin who diligently studied the Zabaniya, or killing techiniques, of her order's leaders, Hassan-i-Sabbah. Her Noble Phantasm, Zabaniya: Phantasmal Pedigree, allows her to copy 18 of the 19 Zabaniyas (she can't use Hassan of the Hundred Faces' Zabaniya because he was her contemporary and she didn't have an opportunity to study him). True Archer has a Noble Phantasm called Reincarnation Pandora that allows him to steal enemy Noble Phantasms, gaining the ability to use them. Notably, he can steal Noble Phantasms that are conceptual in nature, as shown when he stole False Berserker's From Hell, a Noble Phantasm that allows False Berserker to transform into a demon. He also has a copy of True Rider's magic strength-enhancing sash, Goddess of War, because in life, he killed her and took it. It is mentioned that since True Rider is the true owner of Goddess of War, her version of the sash is more powerful than his. Saber has a Noble Phantasm called Excalibur: Sword of Forever Distant Victory, which gives him the ability to turn anything he holds into a copy of the legendary blade Excalibur, based on his sincere belief that anything he holds is Excalibur. This includes enemy Noble Phantasms. However, since they are copies, they are not as powerful as the real one, and it is mentioned that if he were holding the real one, while he would be able to use it, he would not be able to bring out its full potential. True Caster shares a Noble Phantasm with the Caster from Fate/Zero, Prelati's Spellbook. This is because True Caster is Francois Prelati, the man who created the Spellbook, and the Caster from Fate/Zero is Gilles de Rais, his student whom he gave the Spellbook to in life as a present. However, in the story, Prelati doesn't have the Spellbook with him when he is summoned because he gave it to Gilles and he wasn't able to recreate it in life, and it is mentioned Gilles needs to return it to him on a spiritual level for him to use it. Gilgamesh arrogantly throws away the spare key to his Gate of Babylon, saying it is useless in the hands of humans. This backfires when Ishtar obtains it. Due to being a goddess and deeply connected to his legend, she is able to control his Gate of Babylon and forcefully shut it down. The Godfelling Crossbow belonged to Qin Shi Huangdi. It is used as a catalyst to summon the spirit Jiao, who says the crossbow killed it, so it has a connection to it. Jiao hands the crossbow to the human Sigma and gives him permission to use it.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_746814ae	comment	In the Arthur episode The Return of the King, the title character and his friends attend a Renaissance Fair/competition, where they encounter Bizarro Universe versions of themselves from Glenbrook School, led by Mr. Ratburn's former teacher. All of their counterparts turn out to be better than them at their respective events, but in the end, Arthur is the only person—adult or child—who is able to pull the Excalibur replica from its stone. The episode combined this trope with a Secret Test of Character: the trick to removing the sword was to listen to the town crier, who declared "All your might won't set things right—'tis a gentle hand will rule the land." From this, Arthur figured out that Excalibur had to be gripped gently on its hilt, rather than forced from the stone. The students are all impressed, and Mr. Ratburn's teacher praises him for teaching Arthur how to think for himself.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_74f7210c	comment	The Master Sword in The Legend of Zelda games. Whenever the sword appears in the series, Link is invariably the only person who can pull it out of its pedestal. In some games, Link has to prove that he is the ancient legends' prophesied Hero before he is able to draw the sword. Before winning the Pendants of Virtue in A Link to the Past, Link will not be able to pull the Master Sword. In Ocarina of Time, the sword sits on the other side of a massive stone door that only opens with the gathering of the three Spiritual Stones. In other cases, the game prevents Link from finding it (and the plot usually doesn't even make mention of it) until a certain point. In Twilight Princess, for example, Link is chosen from the get-go, being a descendant of the Hero of Time and the bearer of the Triforce of Courage (which is explained when he's granted the clothes of the hero). When he goes to get the Master Sword, it's simply a matter of finding it; it did not require any kind of proof of the gods (other than possibly having to solve their puzzle, which itself may only have required his lineage to complete). A similar circumstance transpires in Hyrule Warriors, where the primary difficulty in getting the sword is the army of ghost soldiers who are being manipulated to stop him from reaching it. It should be noted that in both of the above cases, Link has already accomplished a number of heroic feats by the time he goes for the Master Sword, which may be proof enough for the gods without the need for additional tests. Skyward Sword, as the chronologically first Zelda game, serves as something of an origin story for the Master Sword. It starts off as the Goddess Sword, which doesn't have the chosen-hero-exclusive circumstances; during his first battle, Ghirahim will catch your sword if you telegraph your attacks, rip it out of your hands, and wield it himself. However, once it is reforged in the flames of the Golden Goddesses and bathed in the power to repel evil, Ghirahim is reduced to trying to stop the blade from even touching him. (Phantom rematches with the first fight courtesy of the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round still allow him to catch and wield it, but nobody takes that as having story impact.) The text box that appears after Zelda/Hylia blesses the sword, finally unlocking its full power, even specifically says that Link is now the only one who can wield it. This leads to some tension between Link and Zelda in Breath of the Wild. In preparation for the coming of Calamity Ganon, Link is quickly found to be the true wielder of the Master Sword and is made Zelda's bodyguard in response. Zelda, on the other hand, is unable to unlock her "Sealing Power" necessary to defeat Ganon; she thus finds Link's presence a constant reminder of her own failure to fulfill her destiny. Only by gradually opening up to her protector does she find out that Link is just as nervous as she is about the upcoming fight against Ganon. And when Link goes to reclaim the sword after the Great Calamity, he has to prove himself worthy to wield it again despite having done so in the past and in numerous past lives. The process of pulling the Master Sword from its pedestal slowly drains Link's life, and should the player fail to have the necessary hearts (or have taken sufficient damage when they go for the attempt) then Link dies attempting to pull it out (although the Deku Tree will stop him at a quarter-heart the first time he tries). TotK indicates that this second proving is a consequence of the damage that the sword took during the Great Calamity; when Link draws it again in a flashback shortly before the events of the sequel, the Deku Tree claims that it has fully recovered, and he pulls it from the pedestal without struggle or fanfare. In BotW's sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, the corrupted and broken Master Sword is placed in a pedestal made of the headfur on the Divine Light Dragon to be repaired and healed. In order to extract the sword this time, Link has to have two full rings on his Stamina Wheel (so five additional stamina vessels on top of his default) - not because of any trial posed by the sword itself, but because the Light Dragon starts to writhe when he pulls on it, and he needs to be able to hold on long enough to get a good grip. Wind Waker puts a twist in this; since the Link from this game is The Unchosen One, he must first collect three MacGuffins and fight his way through a massive dungeon just to reach the Master Sword, and then fight his way out again once he has it in his hands. And then it turns out that it wasn't at full power anyway, and Link must put in even more effort to restore it before it can serve its intended purpose.

Anyone else who tries to even look at the lance will have their minds burned and their souls erased. Even those who are part of Reinhard's legion who have innate resistance to soul damage have trouble keeping consciousness in its presence. And should anyone unworthy touch the lance then it will erode their existence as long as they remain in contact with it. This last trait have Reinhard weaponized, usually just resting the lance against his victim while he himself holds them still.

Lyn successfully removed it from its scabbard after the level boss failed. Of course, she had to kill him to get it done. That said, the trope is played with since the priest guarding it had specifically put a spell to keep it from being drawn and dispelled it after the boss was killed. That said, the Mani Katti glowing in Lyn's hands as it chose her is its own doing.

Zamzeed summons a katana from the earth, then tries to pull it out. After repeated pulling, the sword doesn't come out of the ground, but a mountain does. Mio, the Zamzeed's pilot, breaks off the top of the mountain, leaving the sword stuck in a giant boulder several times the size of her mecha. Then she runs down the hill and shatters the bolder on her target's head before using the now-freed sword to finish the attack. The attack also has a hidden animation when the attack misses: on the initial swing, the sword slips out of the rock, causing it to fall on top of Zamzeed instead.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_7fbd159a	comment	ThunderCats (1985): The Sword of Omens can only be held by somebody with good intentions, and only properly wielded by somebody pure of heart, like Lion-O, Jaga, Snarf, and Queen Willa. If anybody evil tries to use it, it will embed itself in the ground and not come out. One time, Mumm-Ra was struck by lightning for trying to wield it. When the evil ghost Grune the Destroyer stole it and tried to use it, it zapped and banished him. And when Lion-O himself tries to use it for hunting, the sword embeds itself into the ground and refuses to harm defenseless animals. Also, the Sword requires both the right bloodline and the right mind/spirit/heart to be activated. In one episode, Lion-O and Wily-Kat are victims of a "Freaky Friday" Flip courtesy of Vultureman's technology, and neither Kat-as-Lion-O nor Lion-O-as-Kat can use it. (They quickly figure out a solution, however - it works when both of them do the chant simultaneously while holding it together.) Another episode features Excalibur, which Mumm-ra used to defeat the Sword of Omens by taking Arthur's form. Once Mumm-ra took true form, it got planted into the ground, he learned that the sword was just as resistant to being used by evil ones, and it refused to come out, spelling Mumm-ra's defeat once again. It is then recovered by Merlin and returned to the Lady of the Lake. Hachiman's sword, the Thunder-Cutter, cannot be used for evil. When Mumm-Ra tricks Hachiman into fighting Lion-O, Thunder-Cutter's refusal to let itself be drawn makes Hachiman see through Mumm-Ra's lies. In a later episode, the Lunataks steal the Thunder-Cutter and get around the sword's restrictions by giving it to a robot that doesn't understand concepts of good and evil. The restrictions are kicked in again when Hachiman touches the sword, causing the sword to destroy the robot.

Not necessarily pure good, just someone who has no doubt or hesitation in what they're using the sword for. Same as in canon, it is the signature weapon of Azrael, the Order of St. Dumas' enforcer trained to be fanatically devout and therefore pure enough to use it. When the last Azrael stops the Order from executing her sister as a demon, she loses the ability to use the sword, and Batman locks it up in the Batcave's vault. The Sword of Salvation appears four books later in Grudge Match. Unlike its twin, it's an Empathic Weapon possessed by Siavash/Matthieu, Ra's al-Ghul's former blood brother. It was in a cave for centuries, protected by a magic test of worthiness. Only Damian passes the test and takes the sword out its pedestal, and it recognizes him as its master from then on. He can summon it to him, and it becomes too heavy to use when anyone takes it from him.

The Star Saber, sword of Prima, has the same restriction, with the added effect that it can't so much as be moved by a non-Prime. When Megatron found it stuck in a rock, he not only couldn't pull it out, he couldn't even break the rock around it; the sword actively protected the rock to make it impossible to remove. He had to have his ship lift the entire (sizable) rock just to transport it. After losing the Star Saber to Optimus, Megatron transplants the arm of a deceased Prime onto himself to bypass the restriction. The Forge of Solus Prime has this restriction for using its ability to create almost anything from raw materials which is why Megatron grafted the arm of a Prime onto himself. For anyone else who can lift it, it's a big slaggin' hammer that packs quite the wallop.

When Spiro the Bandit invades the kingdom and declares himself king he falls dead the moment he sits upon the throne. Whether or not the curse is real is up to debate, as Spiro was bitten on the rear by the venomous cliff snake hidden in the chair cushions by the disguised crown prince.

The only Ranger born on Mirinoi, Maya, had already tried to remove one as a kid, so either she spent all that time trying to free the wrong saber or the sabers themselves have some say in when they're released. They're not one-to-one, either, as two of the sabers are passed on during the series; Mike Corbett drew the Red Saber originally but passed it on to his brother Leo before he apparently died, and after Pink Ranger Kendrix was killed in battle, her spirit appeared to pass her saber on to former villain Astronema/Karone. The question of 'why don't you just smash the rocks' is also addressed: Furio's first instinct upon his failure to pull the sword out is to try that...and he can't even scratch the rocks, something he himself remarks is insane, implying the magical spell protecting the swords is also protecting the rock.

It starts off as the Goddess Sword, which doesn't have the chosen-hero-exclusive circumstances; during his first battle, Ghirahim will catch your sword if you telegraph your attacks, rip it out of your hands, and wield it himself. However, once it is reforged in the flames of the Golden Goddesses and bathed in the power to repel evil, Ghirahim is reduced to trying to stop the blade from even touching him. (Phantom rematches with the first fight courtesy of the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round still allow him to catch and wield it, but nobody takes that as having story impact.) The text box that appears after Zelda/Hylia blesses the sword, finally unlocking its full power, even specifically says that Link is now the only one who can wield it.

It can be wielded by someone with sufficient willpower even if they aren't the chosen one, as seen with Dunban. But this comes at the cost of increasingly severe damage to his body to the point of permanently paralyzing his right arm and nearly killing him when he starts using it with his left. The only one who can properly wield it unharmed is Shulk. This is because it's a Living Weapon (and not a nice one), containing the soul of an Evil God, Zanza. Shulk can use it freely only because he's said God's chosen vessel, and he's unwittingly been doing exactly what Zanza wanted.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_8ec33a87	comment	Xenoblade Chronicles 2: The Core Crystals that give Blades their form require a sort of aptitude or potential to manifest the entity and the weapon it carries. Those found inadequate are harmed, or even killed, on mere contact with the Core Crystal. A small, scrawny Gormotti (who is a viable Driver) is shoved aside by a larger, bulkier man who grabs the crystal, cries out in pain, and passes out with blue particle effects bursting from his body; the way the other characters talk about it, it's not a pretty sight. From there, only that Driver can fully bring out that Blade's power and effectively use its weapon; there are some cases of a Driver grabbing the weapon of another's Blade to use, but those are usually extremely desperate moments when their own Blade isn't fighting for some reason. There's also nothing stopping a Driver from resonating with multiple Blades. Rex and Amalthus can resonate with and use any Blade, even ones awakened by someone else, due to being designated as the "Master Drivers" due to their links to the Aegises. Party member Tora ended up with a three-day-long nosebleed after failing to resonate with a crystal, but luckily for him, him and similarly lacking in aptitude father and grandfather are all brilliant engineers who decided to just make Artificial Blades that anyone can use even without Driver aptitude. Such results include Tora's Blade Poppi, Lila, Poppibuster and his "pilot" Poppi Mk. II (who sure enough can be equipped to any Driver in the party aside from Tora himself without needing to use an Overdrive Protocol to transfer ownership), and the fully mechanical ones Tora's father was forced to build under threat of death. It should be noted that the proper aptitude for wielding a Blade is fairly arbitrary. Ever so often, you'll find a Boss in Mook's Clothing that is a monster that has happened to come across and resonate with a Blade, which now follows it around and defends it. Such is the case for the story fight with an Elder Arachno who bonded with the Rare Blade Wulfric, with the party claiming his Core Crystal after killing the monster. Even Blades can become the Drivers of other Blades, though all the cases shown of these Driver-Blades were also Flesh Eaters, Blades who integrated human cells to gain independence from needing a link with a Driver to survive in the first place, or an Aegis, aka the original Blades who have the ability to directly link with any Core Crystal since they're the overseers of the whole system. A key part of the plot is the "core crystal cleansing process." Cores are shipped to the Praetorium, where Praetor Amalthus does something that makes it easier for people to resonate with them. It's still not easy to find Drivers, but it is much easier than the normal way, so every nation sends their cores to Amalthus, and this makes his religion a political powerhouse. As it turns out, Blades accumulate data every time they are activated. As they live and grow, they become more powerful, eventually evolving from Common Blades into Unique Blades. The downside, however, is that they also become much pickier about who can resonate with them. Furthermore, once a Blade has accumulated enough data it will evolve into a Titan, one of the massive beasts that people live on. The reason no more continent-sized Titans are being born is because of the cleansing process. Amalthus is fully aware of this, and furthermore is aware that the dwindling livable land is causing more wars and will eventually result in the end of the world... but he doesn't care, because he hates everyone.

However, while everyone can use Noah's Veiled Sword, that's actually the sheathe of his real weapon, the Lucky Seven. This is the only weapon that can cut through the otherwise invincible Flame Clocks. In Future Redeemed, it's strongly implied that Lucky Seven has the core crystals of both Pneuma and Logos, two of the Aegises, in it, explaining why it's so powerful. The first story DLC introduces Ino, an Artificial Blade in the same vein as Xenoblade Chronicles 2. She declares that Noah is her destined Driver, and successfully forges an affinity link with him. This confuses everyone else to no end, because that's not how Blades work any more.

While legend makes it Saber's Noble Phantasm, Mordred stole the sword from her father in life. As it was created to represent the rightful rule of the king, its theft and use against Arthur weakened the sword. When Mordred uses her ultimate attack, Clarent Blood Arthur, she channels her anger of her father and her energy into Clarent to force it to obey her and perform at its full potential. It is mentioned that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon rightfully belong to Nebuchadnezzar II, the man who built them, but because so many people believe Semiramis built them, Assassin of Red has them as one of her Noble Phantasms. Even then, she cannot naturally conjure them up; she has to construct the Hanging Gardens herself out of stone from her home country in order to use them. Saber of Black/Siegfried sacrifices himself to save Sieg's life by transplanting his heart into him. This causes Sieg to inherit his powers and Noble Phantasms, Balmung and the Armor of Fafnir. Near the end, it is revealed that when Berserker of Black/Frankenstein inadvertently revived Sieg with her lightning, some of her life force merged with him, causing him to inherit her powers and Noble Phantasms, Bridal Chest and Blasted Tree, as well. Rider of Black is able to successfully use Rider of Red's shield Noble Phantasm, Akhilleus Kosmos, but this is only possible because the shield was freely offered. Furthermore, Rider of Red/Achilles is known for donating arms to others in his legend while Rider of Black/Astolfo is known for borrowing others' armaments; if neither of these had been true, the shield could not have been lent. Gilles de Rais is able to wield Ruler's Noble Phantasm, LuminositÃ© Eternelle, because they knew and trusted each other in life.

It was a gift from the gods that grants Maui great powers, including Voluntary Shapeshifting but he loses it during his first battle with Te Ka, the fire demon. To help Moana on her quest, they go to recover the fishhook from the monstrous giant crab, Tamatoa. We are shown that both Tamatoa and Moana are capable of picking up the fishhook, but neither are shown being able to tap into its magic.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_996edf24	comment	In Wonder Woman, the Lasso of Truth can only be wielded by one who is worthy. Despite being evil, the villainesses Genocide and Devastation are able to wield the Lasso, thanks to their unique origins that fool the Lasso into thinking they are Wonder Woman. Played in reverse in Justice Lords Beyond. Wonder Woman uses the Lasso of Truth to strangle/snap the neck of her Justice Lord counterpart for killing Lord Batman, and so she is no longer worthy and the lasso disintegrates. In Forever Evil (2013), Cheetah manages to steal the Lasso, but when she snares Steve Trevor with it, he's easily able to escape. He explains that Cheetah wasn't worthy so she couldn't use its powers, then snares her with it and knocks her out. In the unworthy's hands, it's just a rope and they can't access any of its magic powers.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_999855bb	comment	Humorously parodied in the fourth installment of Heroes of Might and Magic. Upon locating a giant slayer sword on the world map and picking it up, a message comes up concerning its completely unrelated to the game play recovery. A hero stumbles upon a sword in a stone, and having heard the legend of weapons of such power being lodged in rocks, yanks at it with all his strength. This results in the sword not budging an inch. So he spends the next hour or so with a hammer and chisel to retrieve it. Played straight in the campaign "The True Blade". The Gryphonheart blade can only be drawn by a member of the Gryphonheart lineage. Sir Worton tries to wrest control over the little kingdom of Palaedra from its founder Lord Lysander (who had previously refused to be king because of his loyalty to the Gryphonheart line) by drawing a forgery of the blade from its scabbard. Lysander did not trust Worton and went on a quest to seek the true blade. During the final battle, Lysander without thinking draws the true Gryphonheart blade from its scabbard, proving that he is actually a descendant of the Gryphonhearts.

When the nobles turn to Merlin for advice, Merlin shows them a sword lodged in an anvil or rock placed in a churchyard at Westminster and prophesies that only the true king of Britain will be able to pull the blade out. When Arthur has grown, his kingship is revealed when he succeeds in pulling the sword out, after many others have tried to do so in vain. The tale of the Sword in the Stone first appears in Robert de Boron's Merlin and later also in Le Morte d'Arthur.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_9ab32c13	comment	In the Pony POV Series: The Elements of Harmony, naturally, but also their Chaotic counterparts, the Elements of Chaos. However, there's a bit of a twist: worthiness is embodying the attribute, not necessarily embodying it positively, but the Element can only be used to their fullest potential if they do. Further more, following being turned into their current form, the Elements of Harmony draw power directly from Fauna Luster, who can withhold her power and render the combined form of them unusable unless replaced with something else, such as sheer extremism. The corrupted versions also have different names, such as the corrupted Element of Magic/Friendship being called Domination and the corrupted Element of Fantasy being called Deceit. After retrieving Cupid's bow, Lovestruck (Cupid's successor and Reincarnation) is instructed to bring it to her adopted mother Venus. Due to it previously being used for evil by the False Princesses, Venus and several of her siblings put an enchantment on it so that only someone worthy of it can so much as move it to prevent this from happening again. The Alicorn Amulet in this verse is an evil version, as it will only allow those it chooses to use it. As Sonata found out the hard way, trying to use it otherwise can end badly if you're not strong enough to forcibly subjugate it. Trixie is considered such because she's descended from its creator, and it'd actively tried to bring her to it for years.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_9b018733	comment	In Kubera, the Sword of Return sits in the Temple of Chaos, waiting for people to attempt to draw it. In fact, the temple was built around the sword. The thing is, the sword has been successfully drawn before, multiple times. There is an annual test where hundreds of people arrive from across the world to try and pull it out; the temple had to institute various tests of strength just to try and weed out the crowds and make the process go faster. Once the sword has bonded to an owner, only that individual may use it, and the only way to give it up is to die (at which point it returns to its resting place in the Temple of Chaos). While the sword was designed to fight sura, ironically most sura can draw it out quite easily. The problem is, the same properties that make it a nightmare against sura (it inhibits Healing Factor) apply to the owner as well, whether they are currently holding the sword or not.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Throughout the series and in the backstory, one of the most important items to the Empire of Tamriel is the Amulet of Kings. According to legend, it was created as the "Chim-el Adabal" by the Ayleids out of the crystallized blood of the "dead" creator god Lorkhan (also known by many other names), which was collected after falling from his heart as it flew across Tamriel, having been cut out by the Aedra (in vengeance for Lorkhan supposedly tricking them into sacrificing large parts of their divine power to create Mundus, the mortal plane), tied to an arrow, and fired across the continent. Following the Alessian Revolt, in which St. Alessia and her Nedic peoples (precursors to most of the modern races of Men) overthrew the (primarily) Daedra-worshiping Ayleids with the aid of the Nordic Empire, rebel Ayleid lords, and the Aedra themselves, Alessia made covenant with Akatosh, the draconic Top God of the Aedra. Akatosh imbued Alessia with his "dragon's blood" and placed her soul in the central stone of what is now known as the Amulet of Kings, symbolizing his pact with mankind. The Amulet of Kings can only be worn by those of royal blood, recognizing them as Alessia's (and Akatosh's) metaphysical heirs to the Ruby Throne of Cyrodiil and confirming those who can wear it as The Chosen One. Morrowind The Moon-And-Star ring is said to be blessed by Azura to kill anyone trying to wear it other than Nerevar (or his reincarnation, the Nerevarine). Whether this is for real or a story made up to scare off pretenders is never discovered. One popular theory is that being the Nerevarine is more a matter of becoming than something you are born as — if you fulfill the requirements to be the Nerevarine, and follow what the prophecy says the Nerevarine is supposed to do, then you are the Nerevarine, and so can wear Moon-and-Star. In other words, only the Chosen may wield, but the Chosen is partly self-chosen. Oblivion The Crusader's Relics (and weapons) can only be wielded by the Divine Crusader in the expansion Knights of the Nine. In addition, if the wielder gains two points in infamy then the artifacts cannot be used until the pilgrimage is undertaken again. The Amulet of Kings makes its first in-game appearance, passing from the Emperor to the Player Character in the early stages of the game. True to lore, the player character cannot wear it, getting a message that it simply "slips off" your neck if you try. It eventually makes its way into the hands of the Emperor's Hidden Backup Prince, Martin, who performs a Heroic Sacrifice at the end of the main quest with it. The Amulet is destroyed, but it summons an avatar of Akatosh who banishes Mehrunes Dagon and saves the world. Skyrim reveals that Deadric artifacts function this way. While the artifacts themselves aren't sentient, the Daedric Princes who created them can be really picky about who uses them. For example, Hircine, not liking a werewolf who uses his ring removes all control the man has over his transformations (though if you attempt to help the werewolf Hircine will make the ring work correctly for you) while one necromancer spent decades working defects into Azura's star to remove her control over it so he could live forever using it. A Creation Club event adds the Crusader's Relics to the game. Again, if youâ€™ve been doing evil things, you wonâ€™t be able to wear them until you pray to the gods.

Because he is considered their original "owner" he is able to wield them, though far less effectively since while he has some swordsmanship skill, he is not an expert and he doesn't know how to use his weapons' abilities efficiently. Gate of Babylon doesn't have certain items like Excalibur, Rhongomyniad, Avalon, Knight of Owner, God Hand, Kavacha and Kundala, and Vasavi Shakti, because they were either created after Gilgamesh's time, or were created by fairies and not distributed to mankind. In the alternate universe of Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, Gilgamesh discovers to his chagrin that Gate of Babylon doesn't have any of Julian Ainsworth or Darius Ainsworth's Noble Phantasms like Authoritarian Personalism, Apneic Beauty, and Shadow Hand of Code. This is because Darius created these Noble Phantasms recently with a combination of his powers and Pandora's Box, another item not in Gate of Babylon, meaning they had never existed before and only he or those with his permission can use them. Berserker has a Noble Phantasm called Knight of Owner that allows him to become an Instant Expert for any weapon he takes into his hands - including an enemy's Noble Phantasm, should he wrest it from their grasp. Kiritsugu Emiya had acquired Saber's Noble Phantasm, Avalon, which heals its holder's injuries and works for any holder, but it only responds to Saber's mana, so it only works when Saber is near the holder. Kiritsugu and his wife Irisviel both make use of it. At the end, he plants it into Shirou, and though Saber is gone, it had stored enough of Saber's mana to heal him. It then goes inert until Saber is summoned again in Fate/stay night. Even then, Saber (and Shirou when he projects it) are the only ones who can use Avalon's true function as an absolute defense against attacks.

One of Lancer Karna's Noble Phantasms, Brahmastra, is shared by the Saber Rama. In this case, it's because this particular weapon was capable of being wielded by multiple people across the various epics of their legends. Parvati borrowed her husband Shiva's trident, Trishula Shakti, but it is mentioned that since she is not the true owner, she cannot bring out its full potential. Meanwhile, Rama has a Noble Phantasm called "Vishnu BÄ�jÅ«: Arms of the Great One", which grants him access to several divine weapons gifted by the sage Vishwamitra. This plus the fact Rama is an avatar of the god Vishnu allows him to wield Trishula Shakti. Sita was never a warrior in life, but as an Archer, she wields the bow Haradhanu Janaka, which belongs to her husband Rama, because Rama granted her his powers and permission. Not to mention in the myth she was the only person besides Rama who was strong enough to lift the bow. One of Queen Medb's Noble Phantasms, Fergus My Love, allows her to summon and wield Fergus' Noble Phantasm, Caladbolg: The Rainbow Sword. This is because Fergus was her lover in life and they shared many gifts. She has another Noble Phantasm called Conchobar My Love, which lets her borrow her other lover Conchobar's ability to see the future. One of King David's Noble Phantasms is Hamesh Avanim, the sling and stones he used to defeat Goliath. Lore-wise, because of how he used it to knock Goliath out and then steal his sword, if he uses it to knock out a Servant, he can swipe their Noble Phantasm and use it. Even better, the Noble Phantasm becomes David's by God's Divine Authority, so the Servant will be unable to take it back. David also has the Ark of the Covenant, which kills anyone not authorized by God who touches it. Besides David, only people deemed worthy by God like Moses can touch it safely. It overrides other divine protection, as it killed Heracles, Zeus' chosen one protected by God Hand when he touched it. Xuanzang Sanzang wields Sun Wukong's extending staff Ruyi Jingu Bang, Zhu Bajie's Nine-toothed Rake, and Sha Wujing's Monk's Spade because her three disciples loved her so much that they granted them to her when she was summoned. Ironically, she doesn't even recognize the weapons, so she cannot use them to their full potential. Lore-wise, Sir Gawain can wield Excalibur because there were times King Arthur loaned it to him in life, plus he had proven himself worthy of its sister sword Galatine. In life, King Arthur gave Excalibur to Sir Bedivere so he could return it to the Lady of the Lake, but in this verse, he kept the sword and Merlin eventually modified it into an artificial arm for him. He has a Noble Phantasm called "Switch On - AirgetlÃ¡m", his artificial arm, which he can eventually turn into Excalibur to wield. Merlin is able to use Caliburn, the Sword in the Stone itself, since he created and gave it to King Arthur in the first place. The Lady of Lake herself who is actually a Split Personality of Morgan le Fay would logically be able to use Excalibur. Ishtar's Noble Phantasm, "An Gal TÄ� Kigal ShÄ“", has her use her authority as a goddess of Venus to use planet Venus itself as a weapon. However, other deities with Venus in their domain like Quetzalcoatl can catch the attack and even take control of it to use it against her. Rider Mordred wields Prydwen, a shield that can turn into a ship or surfboard. It belonged to King Arthur, but just like with Clarent, she stole it from her father in life. Lore-wise, one of Musashibou Benkei's Noble Phantasms, called Eighth Implement, like True Archer in strange fake, is the ability to steal and use his enemies' Noble Phantasms against them. Also this man is actually Hitachibou Kaison, one of Benkei's comrades who fled in fear while he was being killed. To repent for his cowardice, he took on Benkei's identity to spread his story. Due to taking his identity, Kaison has his skills and Noble Phantasms. Penthesilea has the strength-enhancing sash Goddess of War because she is the sister of True Rider from strange fake. Senji Muramasa is able to forge Tsumukari Muramasa, a recreation of the legendary sword Kusanagi-no-Tachi. Since he isn't a god or demigod, using the sword kills him. However, when he gets properly summoned as a Servant, he can use Tsumukari Muramasa as many times as he wants, likely because he is creating slightly weaker versions to mitigate the backlash. He expresses awe for Ibuki-Douji, a wielder of the actual Kusanagi. Minamoto no Raikou was the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, so in her Berserker form, her Noble Phantasm, Ox-King Storm Call - The Inescapable Net of Heaven, allows her to create duplicates of herself that wield her subordinates' weapons. These include Sakata Kintoki's axe, Watanabe no Tsuna's sword, Urabe no Suetake's bow, and Usui Sadamitsu's naginata. The Lancer version of Minamoto no Raikou has the spear Vajra. Arjuna is shocked and points out that Vajra belongs to his father, the Hindu god Indra, so he wonders how the Japanese Raikou has it. It turns out that Raikou's father Gozu Tennou was actually Indra under an alias, so she is Arjuna's half-sister and one of Indra's heirs. When she prayed to her father for aid, he gave her Vajra. Kama also wields Vajra because of an incident where she did Indra a favor and Indra allowed her to borrow Vajra as thanks. Vritra also wields Vajra because when Indra stabbed her with it, Vajra was lodged in her mouth, so she pulled it out and used it. The sword Usumidori originally belonged to Minamoto no Raikou, but Ushiwakamaru has it because she is Raikou's descendant and inherited it. The Rider Mandricardo is able to wield the Lancer Hektor's spear Durindana. This is due to the connection of their legends, as Mandricardo is able to wield the sword Durandal, which was repurposed by Hektor into Durindana and was restored to its original form some time after his death. Since the sword and spear are simply two forms of the same weapon, they can wield either one without issue. Particularly notable since Mandricardo isn't summoned with Durandal because he lost it and never got it back before his death in legend, and in fact has a Noble Phantasm called Serment de Durandal that lets him give Durandal's power to any weapon he possesses, even another Noble Phantasm. His second Noble Phantasm, RÃªve de Durandal, is what allows him to wield Durandal and Durindana, but it only works if Mandricardo truly believes he is worthy. By extension, this also means Roland, the man most famous for wielding Durandal, would also be able to wield Durindana without issue. Mandricardo's skill, Armor of the Nine Worthies, allows him to use Hektor's armor, having acquired it in life. Lore-wise, Astolfo's Hippogriff originally belonged to Bradamante, and he traded his spear Trap of Argalia to her for it, which means she would be able to use them too. Goetia has King Solomon's Noble Phantasms because he possessed Solomon's corpse. When the real Solomon shows up as a Servant, he is able to reclaim his Noble Phantasms and then sacrifice himself, cutting off Goetia's access to them. Mash Kyrielight is able to wield Galahad's shield, Lord Camelot, because she was Raised as a Host to house Galahad's spirit. After Goetia is defeated, Galahad decides to stop helping the heroes and revokes the powers he gave to Mash. Mash finds herself unable to use Lord Camelot anymore. Ritsuka Fujimaru uses a Command Spell to order Galahad to help them, but he resists, leaving Mash with only a fraction of his power. Even with the Ortenaus device augmenting her powers, Mash is only able to use a degraded version called Mold Camelot. However, Da Vinci suspects that it was the shock of Galahad saying he revoked her powers that made her unable to use them. This is seemingly proven in the British Lostbelt when Mash loses her memories, including of Galahad, and gains full access to her powers and Noble Phantasm. She keeps her powers when she gets her memories back. In the second Lostbelt, Gotterdammerung, Surtr the Fire Giant is able to use all of Sigurd's Noble Phantasms, most notably his Cool Sword Gram, because he's currently possessing Sigurd's body and Spirit Origin. When his spirit is freed from Sigurd's body he loses access to them, but that was fine by him because it allowed him to unseal his real body. Odin gave the Valkyries his blessing to wield his spear, Gungnir, so they all have a copy of it when they perform their Noble Phantasm, "RagnarÃ¶k LÃfÃ¾rasir". It is said that their copies are weaker than the original. During the third Summer event, Robin Hood lends his Noble Phantasm No Face May King: Faceless King to Edmond Dantes to help the latter in investigating the "Groundhog Day" Loop they've been trapped in without BB catching him. In this case, it's because "Robin Hood" is technically a Composite Character of numerous rogues who assumed the title, which allows him to lend it to anyone of his choosing. For some reason, Ashwatthama has Sudarshan Chakra Yamaraj, a divine chakram owned by Krishna, even though he had never used it in life and in his myth was unworthy of it. The others are baffled and even he doesn't know why he can use it. Lu Bu's Noble Phantasm is God Force, his halberd that can shape-shift into different forms. His beloved horse Red Hare eventually becomes a Servant, turning into a Centaur-like creature. Red Hare's Noble Phantasm is Imitation God Force, which uses a bow to fire the halberd like an arrow. Jason and his former wife Medea both have the Golden Fleece since they had both owned it. Poseidon granted Caenis his Divine Authority, allowing her to use his Trident. Romulus-Quirinus has access to a version of Heracles' Noble Phantasm, Nine Lives. This is because of a version of his legend that says Heracles is his father. Although this is not true, enough people believe this that it comes true, giving Romulus-Quirinus the benefits of being raised and trained by Heracles, including inheriting his techniques. The Berserker version of Brynhildr has the Noble Phantasm, Brynhildr Sigurutein, a sword which requires her husband Sigurd to use. "Only Brynhildr can summon it and only Sigurd can swing it." The sword is a replica of one that Odin gave to Tyr that Brynhildr imitates with her Primordial Rune magic. Since Odin and Tyr are both Gods of War, this is presumably why Sigurd, the King of Warriors, is required to use it. The Lancer version of Yu Mei-ren wields a spear from her husband, Xiang Yu, by recalling the sword dance she performed at the end of his life and refining it into a spear dance. Professor James Moriarty and Erice Utsumi both have Freikugel, the magic bullets from Der FreischÃ¼tz. Moriarty made a Fusion Dance with Max, who wielded the bullets, while Erice has the spirit of Samiel, who forged the bullets, inside her. Erice Utsumi has Ame-no-Sakahoko, a replica of the goddess Izanami's spear Ame-no-Nuboko with most of the same powers. A few characters are confused at how she is able to wield it. Fate/Requiem eventually reveals that Erice is Izanami's daughter. Sakamoto Ryouma can wield Ame-no-Sakahoko as well because in his backstory, he discovered the dragon Oryou sealed by being pierced by the spear, and he was effortlessly able to remove it. Indeed, his Lancer version wields it, but during the sixth GUDAGUDA event, he gets possessed by the evil god Ama-no-Sakagami who wields it through his body. However, Rider Ryouma is able to steal the spear from Ama-no-Sakagami since they are technically the same person right now and the evil god is partially affected by the spear's anti-divine properties, though Ryouma also suffers pain in the process since he abandoned the Ame-no-Sakahoko in life after freeing Oryou and "it's a bit angry with him". The Caster version of Altria wields Marmyadose, a sword that originally belonged to Heracles. She says she acquired it at some point during her travels in life. Something that we never get to see, though. Ibuki-Douji wields the Kusanagi-no-Tachi, the sacred sword and Imperial Treasure that the god Susanoo found within the body of Yamata-no-Orochi after slaying the multi-headed dragon god. She is able to do this because she is the daughter/avatar of Orochi, and in "Hell Realm Mandala", she is able to give Kintoki the Kusanagi to use against Ashiya Douman. This is most likely due to how Susanoo was able to claim the sword from Orochi and gave it to his sister Amaterasu, as well as due to Kintoki's own natural divine nature (and even he has to use it via his Golden Bear Noble Phantasm). One of Siegfried's Noble Phantasms is Das Rheingold, the cursed Dragon Hoard he claimed when he slew the dragon Fafnir. After his original death, the treasure was eventually claimed by the Einzbern family. Because of this, Sitonai, who uses Illya von Einzbern as a host body, can control the treasure and pacify it when the gold turns sentient and attacks people, and free people who have been cursed by it, though her control is still trumped by Moshirechik Kotanechik, the actual embodiment and spirit in control of the hoard. In the British Lostbelt, the fae spirits Barghest, Baobhan Sith, and Melusine were granted the identities and powers of Sir Gawain, Sir Tristan, and Sir Lancelot by Morgan Le Fay. They are able to use variations of their Noble Phantasms Galatine, Failnaught, and Arondight respectively called Black Dog Galatine, Fetch Failnaught, and Innocence Arondight. Notably, Gawain and Lancelot's powers actually weaken Barghest and Melusine to an extent, as Barghest is a nocturnal fairy who doesn't receive as much benefit from the sun boost and Melusine is so naturally strong Lancelot's peerless combat skill doesn't actually help her much. It's implied this was even intentional on Morgan's part to inhibit their growths as Calamities. Also, the Morgan Le Fay native to this timeline, who ruled Camelot instead of Arthur, is the owner of several copies of Rhongomyniad. These Rhongomyniads are unique to her and she is the only one who can wield them, forcing Chaldea to negotiate with her instead of just taking them. When Altria Caster tries to use them, she notably fails and only succeeds when she converts the system into copies outputting Excalibur's power. Sir Percival wields Lucius Longinus' Spear of Longinus because he and Kundry found it during his quest for the Holy Grail. In the British Lostbelt, Morgan Le Fay used to wield the Spear of Selection, but discarded it when she felt she was no longer worthy of it. This eventually allows the Lostbelt version of Percival to take it and it transforms into the Spear of Longinus in his hands. The Lostbelt version of Habetrot kept Mash Kyrielight's Black Barrel for safe keeping for centuries (time travel was involved). This causes her to become attuned to it and become its "guardian fairy". The summoned version has a Noble Phantasm called Spinster Habetrot which allows her to summon and fire the Black Barrel, and her version does not have as many detrimental effects on the user's health. Since the summoned version does not have her Lostbelt self's memories, she does not understand why she has and can use the Black Barrel. In the Arcade version of the game, Nebuchadnezzar II's spirit possesses a clone of Gilgamesh. This grants him Gate of Babylon, but he cannot access Gilgamesh's real treasures like Ea, Enkidu, and the Holy Grail. The god ManannÃ¡n mac Lir possesses Bazett Fraga McRemitz's body to be summoned as a Servant. They naturally use Fragarach, and since ManannÃ¡n is Fragarach's original owner they can utilize it in ways Bazett could only dream of on her own, such as being able to Counter-Attack a far more variety of techniques rather than Bazett being limited solely to her opponent's "trump card". Since in legend, ManannÃ¡n mac Lir originally owned and gave Diarmuid Ua Duibhne his weapons Gae Buidhe, Moraltach, and Beagaltach, they would be able to use them too. Kriemhild wields her husband Siegfried's sword Balmung because in life, she used it to avenge his murder. Notably, while Siegfried manifests Balmung's holy side, Kriemhild manifests its demonic side. The Saber version of Sir Gareth wields Robigus Ironside, the sword of Sir Ironside the Red Knight, because in life she defeated him and confiscated it. The Avenger version of Erice Utsumi has Ame-no-Kagaminofune, the boat of the god Sukunabikona. She says he let her rent it due to her divine heritage. Mori Ranmaru's Noble Phantasm is the severed head of Oda Nobunaga, which has the power to alter history. In his event, he gets mortally wounded, but prays for someone to recover the head. His prayers are answered by Mysterious Ranmaru X, a female counterpart of himself from another dimension. Since they are basically the same person, she is able to use the head to save the day. The Britomart who appears here is actually the daughter of the original hero. She inherited two Noble Phantasms from her mother: the lance Penetrate Blaiddyd and the suit of armor Fortress Angela. In turn, her mother got these in life from the Briton King Bladud (Blaiddyd) and the Saxon Queen Angela, respectively. Taira no Kagekiyo possessed Kiichi Hougen's student Ushiwakamaru, steals Hougen's Mallet of Fortune, and goes on a rampage with it. After Kagekiyo is stopped, the heroes point out that since Hougen is the Mallet of Fortune's true owner, she could have called it to her hand at any time. Embarrassed, she tries to save face by saying she wanted them to prove their strength. Ozmandias' Noble Phantasm, Ramesseum Tentyris, lets him summon a temple with many divine beasts from Egyptian mythology like Ammit the Devourer, which he can do since he's an incarnation of Ra. Nitocris Alter can also summon Ammit since she is being possessed by her master, Anubis. Of course, the Anubis seen in Fate/Requiem can summon Ammit. Ishtar can summon Gugalanna, the Bull of Heaven. Ereskigal Alter can use the Authority "Boundary Gorge, Heaven's Thunder Palace" to mass produce Gugalanna's legs for a stomping attack. The Saber version of Medusa wields the golden sword of her son, Chrysaor. When she is killed, she gives the sword to the heroes and gives them permission to use it, allowing Ritsuka to wield it and use its powers. Typhon Ephemeros absorbed the power of Typhon directly from him due to being the fruit from his legend that weakened him when he devoured it, allowing her to call upon his powers as well as those he himself took from Zeus. This also allows her to merge with Typhon and control him directly after she allows him to eat her once again. Theseus has a skill called Martial Retribution that is based on his stealing his opponents' weapons during his Six Labors. This allows him to steal his opponent's weapon and use it, but it does not work on divine, holy, or magical weapons. In game, he wields the club he took from the bandit Periphetes, the sword of his father King Aegeus, and a shield made from the mask of Asterios the Minotaur. Ruler Uesugi Kenshin wields the sword Shiodome-no-Tachi for her Noble Phantasm Bishamonten's Eight Phases - Shiranui. The sword was a gift from her rival Takeda Harunobu/Shingen. Since the sword originally belonged to Takeda, he is able to wield it. King Ashoka can use Buddha's Noble Phantasm, Chakravartin, because he ascended to Buddhahood.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_a5903495	comment	The Adversary Cycle. In Nightworld the protagonists reforge a magic sword that's their last chance to defeat the Greater-Scope Villain who's causing The End of the World as We Know It. Repairman Jack is the obvious candidate to replace the aging Glaeken who's wielded it in the past, but Jack balks at an eternity of servitude to the Ally, and so offers everyone else in the room a chance. The sword fails to respond to them, so Jack bites the bullet and grasps it... only for it to fail to respond to him either. Turn out only the original hero (who hasn't died and therefore can't expect Jack to Take Up My Sword) is acceptable. After a millennia or so of service Glaeken definitely doesn't want to start all over again, but the sword rejuvenates him as the young warrior he was, and so Glaeken gets a chance to take out his frustrations on the Big Bad.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_a96a7ada	comment	In Yu-Gi-Oh!, certain cards can only be wielded by a chosen duelist, including the Egyptian Gods, the Legendary Dragons/Knights of Atlantis, the Earthbound Gods, and the Signer Dragons. And then there are the Millennium Items. Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Millennium Items tend to kill holders they don't deem worthy. People who try to use counterfeit versions of the Egyptian God Cards get hit with a Bolt of Divine Retribution. Marik Ishtar has Strings duel Yugi with the Egyptian God Card Saint Dragon of Osiris/Slifer The Sky Dragon. They get around the restrictions because Strings is an Empty Shell and Marik, who is worthy, is controlling him, so in reality, Marik is the one wielding it. Gurimo steals the Egyptian God Card, Obelisk The Tormentor, and uses it against Yugi. He gets around the restrictions with The Seal of Orichalcos, which is powerful enough to control Obelisk. Even then, Obelisk struggles and the strain of controlling him takes its toll on Gurimo. After the Pharaoh gives into temptation and uses The Seal of Orichalcos, his Legendary Dragon, The Eye of Timaeus, deems him unworthy and disappears from the duel, then disappears whenever he tries to play it. He eventually redeems himself and regains Timaeus' trust. Strangely, despite using the Seal of Orichalcos, Valon is able to use his Data Brain card to copy Rocket Hermos Cannon, which was created by the Legendary Dragon, The Claw of Hermos, and wield it without any ill effects. Offscreen, Mai Valentine took Joey Wheeler's Legendary Dragon, The Claw of Hermos, and tried to duel Rafael. Since she had previously used The Seal of Orichalcos, Hermos deemed her unworthy and disappeared when she tried to play it, leading to her loss. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Franz uses a counterfeit version of the Egyptian God Card, The Winged Dragon of Ra. He gets around the restrictions with a card called Mound of the Bound Creator, which binds Ra to his will, though Ra struggles and cries. Judai frees Ra and takes control of it, and shocks Franz by being able to control Ra without Mound of the Bound Creator, hinting at Judai's specialness. In Yu-Gi-Oh!: Capsule Monsters, a sword in the village of the fifth trial is like this. Yami has to lure the five dragons to said village before he's capable of lifting it.

It's revealed that during Ned's battle at the Tower of Joy, the sword had rejected Arthur Dayne and "failed" him when he needed it the most, which may have been a factor in his loss. When Mace Tyrell tries to take Otherbane from his son Willas, his hand is burned by the spear. Joffrey tries to wield Stormbreaker while Robert is busy training, and the sword shocks him, burns his hand, and throws him across the room. In spite of these examples, Ser Barristan notes that his ancestors could act as Sword Bearers to the Storm Kings, just like he does for King Robert now; and Jory Cassel acts as a Mace Bearer to Lord Stark. Ser Barristan believes this is because they made no claim to owning it, nor viewed themselves as worthy of owning it, and carried it with the permission of the true owners. Whether or not only certain families can be the bearer for the true owner is unclear. In the depths of the Nightfort lies the original Throne of Winter, which is inscribed with runes that say that anyone who isn't a Stark that sits in it will be driven insane.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_ace263fa	comment	In the Deltora Quest series, only the true king of Deltora can use the full power of the Belt of Deltora, though others can still benefit from the magical properties of its seven gems. The Belt glows when first worn in its correct configuration by the true heir to the throne, clearly indicating who is worthy of it. The Belt will also reject a living ruler in favor of the next in line if it deems them unworthy, as it did with King Endon. It only shone for Endon after his father's death, but after the gems were stolen while it was supposed to be under Endon's care, the Belt shone for his son, Lief while Endon was still alive. The Royal Blood requirement is exploited in the sequel series: to ensure Deltora will be safe should anything happen to him, Lief tracks down his distant cousin Marilen in Tora, who is also a descendant of the first king Adin. Presumably some of the Masked Ones, being descended from a later king's brother, are also eligible.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_b5a2b326	comment	Morrowind The Moon-And-Star ring is said to be blessed by Azura to kill anyone trying to wear it other than Nerevar (or his reincarnation, the Nerevarine). Whether this is for real or a story made up to scare off pretenders is never discovered. One popular theory is that being the Nerevarine is more a matter of becoming than something you are born as — if you fulfill the requirements to be the Nerevarine, and follow what the prophecy says the Nerevarine is supposed to do, then you are the Nerevarine, and so can wear Moon-and-Star. In other words, only the Chosen may wield, but the Chosen is partly self-chosen.

However, the pawnshop will only give her about 30 vals for it, when a typical generic weapon is worth several hundred or thousands. He tells her the knife is dull and won't cut. After the knife is returned to Bell, the hieroglyphs inscribed on it immediately light back up, making her realize the weapon is only useful in his hands. Technically speaking, the knife is enchanted to work for anyone who is a member of the Hestia Familia, it's just that Bell was the only member at the time. Later, the new member Mikoto Yamato is able to wield it effectively. In the movie Arrow of the Orion, Bell is the only one who can free Artemis' spear from a crystal, with Artemis saying it is because of his pure heart. Afterwards, anyone can carry it, but Bell is the only one who can invoke its powers.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_b6d7b1e1	comment	In That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Mythical/God-class weapons and equipment can only be used to their full potential by wielders they deem worthy. For example, while in theory anyone strong enough could use Rimuru's Hihi'irokane black katana, only Rimuru can unleash its full power by channeling his magical energy into it to reveal its rainbow form since it's attuned to his magical energy. The few times a God-class weapon/armor changed owners was when the user was on their death bed and passing it to the successor directly such as with Tatsuya Kondou giving Carrera his golden revolver or when the previous user had not yet "acclimated" to it as was the case when Caliguro Awakened into a Saint and unlocked his God-class gear's power, but was slain shortly afterwards due to his inexperience (and subsequently revived Brought Down to Normal) and the armaments instead went to Albert.

Due to the nature of their magecraft, they are also considered an "owner" and are able to mimic the original wielder's skills to a degree. They are unable to copy divine weapons like Excalibur because they lack divinity and cannot copy it. In the Fate route, though Avalon is divine, Shirou is able to copy and use it because he holds the original inside his body and he has a spiritual connection to Saber. He loses the ability in the ending when he returns the original Avalon to Saber and then she disappears back to her time. In one of the Heaven's Feel route's endings, Shirou goes beyond his limits to copy Excalibur, but using it kills him. However, Archer's counterpart in the Fate/EXTRA series is able to copy Excalibur because it takes place in Cyberspace, allowing him to bend the rules. While noncanon, the 2006 anime has Caster put Sakura Matou under mind control and pass her Caster's Noble Phantasm, the dagger Rule Breaker, to ambush Saber. After Sakura stabs Saber, Caster comments that since it wasn't actually her wielding Rule Breaker, its power was weakened. Instead of being able to steal Saber's Servant Contract, the stab simply weakened her.

The evil Archbishop Valper Galilei developed a means of harvesting light attribute from people who naturally had it, which killed them in the process, so he could endow others with the ability to use them. The Church later develops a method of producing artificial light attribute so many more wielders are created. Siegfried, actually a clone of the original mythological Siegfried, wields the swords Gram, Balmung, Nothung, DÃ¡insleif, and Tyrfing. Since he doesn't train to actually master them and just wields them carelessly, the swords start to get fed up with him, with Gram forcing him to give up his lifespan to use it. During a fight against Yuuto Kiba, Gram senses that Kiba is more worthy and jumps into his hand, allowing him to use it to kill Siegfried. Afterwards, the other swords choose Kiba as their master and he trains to master Gram so it doesn't drain him. In the light novel version, Issei Hyoudou is given a replica of MjÃ¶lnir, but he is unable to lift it until the goddess Chimune Chipaoti blesses him. In the anime version, he can lift the real one with no problem after Odin personally handed it to him and gave him permission.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has the Mane Six and the Elements of Harmony; as indicated in the Season 2 premiere, only they can wield their power. Celestia and Luna once wielded the Elements, but they have now become more attuned to the Mane Six. The Mane Six were briefly unable to wield the Elements when Discord corrupted them, but regained the ability when they shook off his influence. In the Season Four premiere, the Mane Six were forced to give up the physical embodiments of the Elements of Harmony, which took the form of five necklaces (for Kindness, Laughter, Loyalty, Honesty, and Generosity) and a tiara (for Magic). As Twilight Sparkle suspected, the girls have become so connected to the Elements that they no longer need those symbols to use their power—they can summon the magic on their own. Season Four's story arc also had each of the Mane Six facing a difficult choice about her particular Element (for example, Applejack, who represents Honesty, had to decide whether or not to expose a phony elixir that had a Placebo Effect on ponies, including her own grandmother). When they inevitably chose to stand for their virtue and not let themselves be tempted, each pony received a token of appreciation from one of the citizens they helped. Those tokens turned into this trope, as they transformed into the keys to the Chest of Harmony that only the Element Bearers could open. In the first My Little Pony: Equestria Girls movie, Sunset Shimmer steals the Element of Magic, but has to take it to another universe in order to actually use it herself. Even then, while able to twist its power (which ultimately overwhelms and twists her), the Element of Magic explicitly does not belong to her and when she attempts to use it against Twilight (its true owner), it rejects her and gives Twilight and her friends the power to defeat her instead. In "The Mean 6", Queen Chrysalis creates evil clones of the Mane Six and tries to have them steal the Elements of Harmony, saying she's aware only the Mane Six can use them but believing her clones can get around that restriction. She's wrong and the clones get destroyed when they try to use them.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has Mjolnir, which is primarily wielded by Thor, but others are noted as being Worthy. The first of these is Steve... who apparently had absolutely no idea of the significance and ended up using it as a doorstop. During the story itself, two others wield the hammer when Thor's either out of commission or not around: Diana, during the Battle of London, and Maddie at the Red Room facility after a Heelâ€“Face Turn. It speaks volumes of the significance of being judged Worthy that when she appears with Mjolnir in hand, before handing it back to Thor, everyone takes it for granted that she's telling the truth about her Heelâ€“Face Turn. Intriguingly, Maddie's case demonstrates both the fact that Mjolnir has some kind of mind of its own and the Character Development from Unworthy to Worthy - when Maddie investigates it with her Psychic Powers, she's initially immediately rebuffed as Unworthy, but when she inquires further, Mjolnir shows her images of prior wielders, how they were Worthy, and how in one crucial instant wiped from her memory, she showed that she could be Worthy too. The Green Lantern Ring is also sentient, to an unknown extent, and picky about wielders, requiring insane strength of will - for instance, it doesn't usually take teenagers, but it's willing to relax its rules in that specific regard where necessary (i.e. where the wielder meets every other requirement and the fate of the universe is at stake). The Swords of the Cross (including Amoracchius, the sword most people think of as Excalibur) are also choosy. At best, they simply won't do anything more than an ordinary sword, or be anything more than an ordinary sword. At worst, they will bite. Hard. The original Excalibur actually subverts this trope. Which only the Chosen is meant to wield it, it's based on the Merlin (2008) version, which is more like the Sword in the Stone - it started out as an ordinary but excellent sword, got reforged/enchanted in the flames of a dragon, leaving it able to (among other things) kill the undead. However, anyone who got their hands on it could theoretically wield it, which is exactly why it got stuffed in a rock by Merlin in the first place, to prevent anyone he didn't allow from removing it. As mentioned, the second Excalibur, Amoracchius, plays it straight. Related to that, Harry's sword follows a very similar path: it's forged by Uhtred, a very talented but otherwise ordinary young warrior and blacksmith out of ordinary materials... or their Asgardian versions, anyway. Then, it gets reforged/enchanted by the connivance of Doctor Strange, who grew up in Camelot and witnessed the original at work, under similar circumstances. Doctor Strange's enchantments wove these together, and ensured they had lasting effects. No one's entirely sure what all of those are yet, but one of the things that Loki immediately identifies is that Harry should be very careful who he lets touch it, as it might... bite.

The Sword of Hewn doesn't need any special requirements, you just have to be physically strong enough to get it out of that rock - a hard feat indeed.

In the extended cut version, The Lost Chapters, this is how you get the sword Avo's Tear. In the core game's original ending, if you opt to forsake the evil option and cast aside the Sword of Aeons, you are deemed worthy and noble enough to wield Avo's Tear.

People who try to use counterfeit versions of the Egyptian God Cards get hit with a Bolt of Divine Retribution. Marik Ishtar has Strings duel Yugi with the Egyptian God Card Saint Dragon of Osiris/Slifer The Sky Dragon. They get around the restrictions because Strings is an Empty Shell and Marik, who is worthy, is controlling him, so in reality, Marik is the one wielding it. Gurimo steals the Egyptian God Card, Obelisk The Tormentor, and uses it against Yugi. He gets around the restrictions with The Seal of Orichalcos, which is powerful enough to control Obelisk. Even then, Obelisk struggles and the strain of controlling him takes its toll on Gurimo. After the Pharaoh gives into temptation and uses The Seal of Orichalcos, his Legendary Dragon, The Eye of Timaeus, deems him unworthy and disappears from the duel, then disappears whenever he tries to play it. He eventually redeems himself and regains Timaeus' trust. Strangely, despite using the Seal of Orichalcos, Valon is able to use his Data Brain card to copy Rocket Hermos Cannon, which was created by the Legendary Dragon, The Claw of Hermos, and wield it without any ill effects. Offscreen, Mai Valentine took Joey Wheeler's Legendary Dragon, The Claw of Hermos, and tried to duel Rafael. Since she had previously used The Seal of Orichalcos, Hermos deemed her unworthy and disappeared when she tried to play it, leading to her loss.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_ce50887e	comment	The Z Sword from the Buu Saga of Dragon Ball is suggested to be such a weapon in Kai legend, but in reality it just seems that it's really, really heavy. It's stuck in a stone pillar on a planet in the afterlife, and Gohan has to go Super Saiyan 2 before he can pull it out. It's still incredibly heavy once it's removed, too - he can barely lift it without transforming. Then the good guys break it by accident while training, releasing the old Kaioshin sealed within it, who turns out to be a lot more helpful than the sword itself.

Unfortunately, its last wielder was going blind when he decided to retire and accidentally stabbed it into a leafy vegetable, much to the sword's embarrassment. Sir Thedeus discovers that he can pull it out, and the sword can even suppress his curse, for a few minutes per day, after which he transforms back into a tiny bat with nowhere near the strength to lift, much less wield the sword and drops it into something else it has to be pulled from. By the end of the book it's the Sword in the Hellhound skeleton, a much worthier resting place in its opinion.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_cfd860dd	comment	Nasuverse: Heroic Spirits possess "Noble Phantasms": Weapons, armour, or other tools that are as much a part of their legends as they are, and which only they know how to use properly (which includes the Trope Namer, as King Arthur is a Heroic Spirit). Word of God has it that if a Servant's Noble Phantasm were to be stolen, the thief would find the stolen Noble Phantasm unwieldy and be unable to invoke its powers. Of course, there are a myriad of exceptions, each with a justification of their own. Fate/Zero: Gilgamesh has the Noble Phantasm Gate of Babylon, a pocket dimension that holds, in addition to his own unique Phantasms, a copy of the "prototype" of nearly every legendary weapon in existence. Because he is considered their original "owner" he is able to wield them, though far less effectively since while he has some swordsmanship skill, he is not an expert and he doesn't know how to use his weapons' abilities efficiently. Gate of Babylon doesn't have certain items like Excalibur, Rhongomyniad, Avalon, Knight of Owner, God Hand, Kavacha and Kundala, and Vasavi Shakti, because they were either created after Gilgamesh's time, or were created by fairies and not distributed to mankind. In the alternate universe of Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, Gilgamesh discovers to his chagrin that Gate of Babylon doesn't have any of Julian Ainsworth or Darius Ainsworth's Noble Phantasms like Authoritarian Personalism, Apneic Beauty, and Shadow Hand of Code. This is because Darius created these Noble Phantasms recently with a combination of his powers and Pandora's Box, another item not in Gate of Babylon, meaning they had never existed before and only he or those with his permission can use them. Berserker has a Noble Phantasm called Knight of Owner that allows him to become an Instant Expert for any weapon he takes into his hands - including an enemy's Noble Phantasm, should he wrest it from their grasp. Kiritsugu Emiya had acquired Saber's Noble Phantasm, Avalon, which heals its holder's injuries and works for any holder, but it only responds to Saber's mana, so it only works when Saber is near the holder. Kiritsugu and his wife Irisviel both make use of it. At the end, he plants it into Shirou, and though Saber is gone, it had stored enough of Saber's mana to heal him. It then goes inert until Saber is summoned again in Fate/stay night. Even then, Saber (and Shirou when he projects it) are the only ones who can use Avalon's true function as an absolute defense against attacks. Fate/stay night: Archer and his past self Shirou Emiya have Unlimited Blade Works, a Mental World that makes them able to copy any weapon they see, including Noble Phantasms. Due to the nature of their magecraft, they are also considered an "owner" and are able to mimic the original wielder's skills to a degree. They are unable to copy divine weapons like Excalibur because they lack divinity and cannot copy it. In the Fate route, though Avalon is divine, Shirou is able to copy and use it because he holds the original inside his body and he has a spiritual connection to Saber. He loses the ability in the ending when he returns the original Avalon to Saber and then she disappears back to her time. In one of the Heaven's Feel route's endings, Shirou goes beyond his limits to copy Excalibur, but using it kills him. However, Archer's counterpart in the Fate/EXTRA series is able to copy Excalibur because it takes place in Cyberspace, allowing him to bend the rules. While noncanon, the 2006 anime has Caster put Sakura Matou under mind control and pass her Caster's Noble Phantasm, the dagger Rule Breaker, to ambush Saber. After Sakura stabs Saber, Caster comments that since it wasn't actually her wielding Rule Breaker, its power was weakened. Instead of being able to steal Saber's Servant Contract, the stab simply weakened her. In both Fate/hollow ataraxia and Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA: Bazett Fraga McRemitz, a human, is able to use the Noble Phantasm Fragarach. Its original owner, the god ManannÃ¡n mac Lir, gifted it to the god Lugh, who in turn gifted to her ancestor. Her family possesses a Sorcery Trait known as Traditional Carriers â€“ God's Holders, which allows them to pass on their abilities through bloodline rather than teachings, so she inherited her ancestor's ability to wield it. Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA: Several human magi can use Class Cards to take on the powers and skills of Servants, allowing them access to their Noble Phantasms. Since Chloe von Einzbern and the Miyuverse version of Shirou Emiya bonded with the Class Card for the Archer of stay night, they inherited his ability to copy Noble Phantasms. In this alternate universe, they are able to copy divine weapons at the cost of them becoming hollow and brittle. Beatrice Flowerchild wields MjÃ¶lnir itself, which makes everyone assume that her Class Card is Thor, since only Thor can wield MjÃ¶lnir, but it turns out to actually be Magni, the son of Thor who inherited MjÃ¶lnir after his death. Magni and thus Beatrice also inherited Thor's belt MegingjÃ¶rÃ° and iron glove JÃ¡rngreipr. Fate/EXTRA CCC: Karna gives his armor and earring, Kavacha and Kundala, to his Master Jinako Carigiri to protect her. In his legend, he traded Kavacha and Kundala to Indra for the spear Vasavi Shakti, so he cannot use Vasavi Shakti unless he removes his protections. Since Kavacha and Kundala's protective powers are always active, Jinako doesn't have to do anything to benefit from them. Passionlip carries a portion of Brynhildr's Divinity, allowing her imitate Brynhildr's Noble Phantasm, Brynhildr Romantia. It is modified into a Rocket Punch instead of a spear, but it has the same properties of increasing in strength the more she loves the target. Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star: Altera wields the Sword of Mars, Photon Ray, because her original self, Sefar, defeated Ares in combat and took it as a trophy. Ares is really pissed off about this, and no matter where or when she is, when she invokes the sword's powers, Ares senses it and tries to reclaim it by trying to smite her with a Kill Sat-like strike, which she cleverly redirects into her opponents. When Ares is briefly summoned in Fate/Grand Order, he uses a different sword since he never got Photon Ray back. Fate/Extra Last Encore: Rin Tohsaka and Rani VIII were granted the powers of their Servants Cu Chulainn and Lu Bu respectively, so they can use their Noble Phantasms Gae Bolg and God Force. Fate/Prototype: Perseus shares two Noble Phantasms with Medusa. Harpe: The Immortal Slaying Scythe used to belong to Medusa back when she was human, but it was confiscated by the gods when she was cursed into the Gorgon and exiled to the Shapeless Isle. The gods then armed Perseus with it when he was tasked to slay her. Medusa had Bellerophon: The Bridle of Chivalry, which allows her to summon and control Pegasus, because Pegasus is her son. In this version of the story, Perseus tamed and rode Pegasus after slaying Medusa. Fate/Apocrypha: Saber of Red has an interesting example in her sword Clarent. While legend makes it Saber's Noble Phantasm, Mordred stole the sword from her father in life. As it was created to represent the rightful rule of the king, its theft and use against Arthur weakened the sword. When Mordred uses her ultimate attack, Clarent Blood Arthur, she channels her anger of her father and her energy into Clarent to force it to obey her and perform at its full potential. It is mentioned that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon rightfully belong to Nebuchadnezzar II, the man who built them, but because so many people believe Semiramis built them, Assassin of Red has them as one of her Noble Phantasms. Even then, she cannot naturally conjure them up; she has to construct the Hanging Gardens herself out of stone from her home country in order to use them. Saber of Black/Siegfried sacrifices himself to save Sieg's life by transplanting his heart into him. This causes Sieg to inherit his powers and Noble Phantasms, Balmung and the Armor of Fafnir. Near the end, it is revealed that when Berserker of Black/Frankenstein inadvertently revived Sieg with her lightning, some of her life force merged with him, causing him to inherit her powers and Noble Phantasms, Bridal Chest and Blasted Tree, as well. Rider of Black is able to successfully use Rider of Red's shield Noble Phantasm, Akhilleus Kosmos, but this is only possible because the shield was freely offered. Furthermore, Rider of Red/Achilles is known for donating arms to others in his legend while Rider of Black/Astolfo is known for borrowing others' armaments; if neither of these had been true, the shield could not have been lent. Gilles de Rais is able to wield Ruler's Noble Phantasm, LuminositÃ© Eternelle, because they knew and trusted each other in life. Fate/Koha-Ace: Toyotomi Hideyoshi is mentioned to have a Noble Phantasm called Blade Taker: Sword Hunt. This allows him to steal and use his opponent's weapons if he wins a Luck Check, based on how in life, Hideyoshi organized sword hunts where he confiscated his enemies' weapons. Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is actually one of Ieyasu's body doubles, has the ability to switch between all seven of the regular Classes. Whenever he does this, he can use a Noble Phantasm associated with one of Ieyasu's vassals who fits the Class. For example, if he is Saber, he uses Yagyuu Tajima-no-Kami Munenori's sword, Daitengu Masaie. If he is Lancer, he uses Honda Tadakatsu's spear, Tonbokiri. If he is Berserker, he uses one of Senji Muramasa's swords. If he is Archer, Rider, Caster, or Assassin, he uses a breech-loading swivel gun, red armor, one of the Seven Jewels of Chakravarti, and a kunai, respectively, but these weapon's names and owners are not yet revealed. Lord El-Melloi II Case Files: Gray is able to wield King Arthur's lance, Rhongomyniad, because she was Raised as a Host to house King Arthur's spirit. Theoretically, she should be able to wield Caliburn, Excalibur, and Avalon as well. Servant Faker is able to use Iskandar's Skills and Noble Phantasms due to being his Body Double in life to the point she doesn't actually have a name of her own, simply being called "Iskandar's Shadow", represented by her own Skill "For He is Another Iskandar (Fake)". As revealed in Grand Order, this includes the Reality Marble Ionian Hetaroi, but due to who she is and its specific requirements she'll die after invoking it. Ergo can use Sun Wukong's extending staff Ruyi Jingu Bang because he was infused with some of Sun Wukong's power. Ergo was also infused with some of Set's power, allowing him to use his Noble Phantasm, Per Djet. Per Djet allows him to paralyze an enemy, and when he releases them, he can copy their Noble Phantasm. Typhon stole Harpe and Nega-Keraunos, the thunderbolts of Zeus, in life. Bai Ruolong was infused with some of Typhon's power, giving him access to these and Typhon's personal Noble Phantasm, Blaze of Etna. Fate/strange Fake: False Assassin was a member of The Hashshashin who diligently studied the Zabaniya, or killing techiniques, of her order's leaders, Hassan-i-Sabbah. Her Noble Phantasm, Zabaniya: Phantasmal Pedigree, allows her to copy 18 of the 19 Zabaniyas (she can't use Hassan of the Hundred Faces' Zabaniya because he was her contemporary and she didn't have an opportunity to study him). True Archer has a Noble Phantasm called Reincarnation Pandora that allows him to steal enemy Noble Phantasms, gaining the ability to use them. Notably, he can steal Noble Phantasms that are conceptual in nature, as shown when he stole False Berserker's From Hell, a Noble Phantasm that allows False Berserker to transform into a demon. He also has a copy of True Rider's magic strength-enhancing sash, Goddess of War, because in life, he killed her and took it. It is mentioned that since True Rider is the true owner of Goddess of War, her version of the sash is more powerful than his. Saber has a Noble Phantasm called Excalibur: Sword of Forever Distant Victory, which gives him the ability to turn anything he holds into a copy of the legendary blade Excalibur, based on his sincere belief that anything he holds is Excalibur. This includes enemy Noble Phantasms. However, since they are copies, they are not as powerful as the real one, and it is mentioned that if he were holding the real one, while he would be able to use it, he would not be able to bring out its full potential. True Caster shares a Noble Phantasm with the Caster from Fate/Zero, Prelati's Spellbook. This is because True Caster is Francois Prelati, the man who created the Spellbook, and the Caster from Fate/Zero is Gilles de Rais, his student whom he gave the Spellbook to in life as a present. However, in the story, Prelati doesn't have the Spellbook with him when he is summoned because he gave it to Gilles and he wasn't able to recreate it in life, and it is mentioned Gilles needs to return it to him on a spiritual level for him to use it. Gilgamesh arrogantly throws away the spare key to his Gate of Babylon, saying it is useless in the hands of humans. This backfires when Ishtar obtains it. Due to being a goddess and deeply connected to his legend, she is able to control his Gate of Babylon and forcefully shut it down. The Godfelling Crossbow belonged to Qin Shi Huangdi. It is used as a catalyst to summon the spirit Jiao, who says the crossbow killed it, so it has a connection to it. Jiao hands the crossbow to the human Sigma and gives him permission to use it. Fate/Grand Order: Cu Chulainn and Scathach are both able to use the spear Gae Bolg because in life, Scathach was the one who made it and she gave it to Cu Chulainn as a present when he finished his training. One of Lancer Karna's Noble Phantasms, Brahmastra, is shared by the Saber Rama. In this case, it's because this particular weapon was capable of being wielded by multiple people across the various epics of their legends. Parvati borrowed her husband Shiva's trident, Trishula Shakti, but it is mentioned that since she is not the true owner, she cannot bring out its full potential. Meanwhile, Rama has a Noble Phantasm called "Vishnu BÄ�jÅ«: Arms of the Great One", which grants him access to several divine weapons gifted by the sage Vishwamitra. This plus the fact Rama is an avatar of the god Vishnu allows him to wield Trishula Shakti. Sita was never a warrior in life, but as an Archer, she wields the bow Haradhanu Janaka, which belongs to her husband Rama, because Rama granted her his powers and permission. Not to mention in the myth she was the only person besides Rama who was strong enough to lift the bow. One of Queen Medb's Noble Phantasms, Fergus My Love, allows her to summon and wield Fergus' Noble Phantasm, Caladbolg: The Rainbow Sword. This is because Fergus was her lover in life and they shared many gifts. She has another Noble Phantasm called Conchobar My Love, which lets her borrow her other lover Conchobar's ability to see the future. One of King David's Noble Phantasms is Hamesh Avanim, the sling and stones he used to defeat Goliath. Lore-wise, because of how he used it to knock Goliath out and then steal his sword, if he uses it to knock out a Servant, he can swipe their Noble Phantasm and use it. Even better, the Noble Phantasm becomes David's by God's Divine Authority, so the Servant will be unable to take it back. David also has the Ark of the Covenant, which kills anyone not authorized by God who touches it. Besides David, only people deemed worthy by God like Moses can touch it safely. It overrides other divine protection, as it killed Heracles, Zeus' chosen one protected by God Hand when he touched it. Xuanzang Sanzang wields Sun Wukong's extending staff Ruyi Jingu Bang, Zhu Bajie's Nine-toothed Rake, and Sha Wujing's Monk's Spade because her three disciples loved her so much that they granted them to her when she was summoned. Ironically, she doesn't even recognize the weapons, so she cannot use them to their full potential. Lore-wise, Sir Gawain can wield Excalibur because there were times King Arthur loaned it to him in life, plus he had proven himself worthy of its sister sword Galatine. In life, King Arthur gave Excalibur to Sir Bedivere so he could return it to the Lady of the Lake, but in this verse, he kept the sword and Merlin eventually modified it into an artificial arm for him. He has a Noble Phantasm called "Switch On - AirgetlÃ¡m", his artificial arm, which he can eventually turn into Excalibur to wield. Merlin is able to use Caliburn, the Sword in the Stone itself, since he created and gave it to King Arthur in the first place. The Lady of Lake herself who is actually a Split Personality of Morgan le Fay would logically be able to use Excalibur. Ishtar's Noble Phantasm, "An Gal TÄ� Kigal ShÄ“", has her use her authority as a goddess of Venus to use planet Venus itself as a weapon. However, other deities with Venus in their domain like Quetzalcoatl can catch the attack and even take control of it to use it against her. Rider Mordred wields Prydwen, a shield that can turn into a ship or surfboard. It belonged to King Arthur, but just like with Clarent, she stole it from her father in life. Lore-wise, one of Musashibou Benkei's Noble Phantasms, called Eighth Implement, like True Archer in strange fake, is the ability to steal and use his enemies' Noble Phantasms against them. Also this man is actually Hitachibou Kaison, one of Benkei's comrades who fled in fear while he was being killed. To repent for his cowardice, he took on Benkei's identity to spread his story. Due to taking his identity, Kaison has his skills and Noble Phantasms. Penthesilea has the strength-enhancing sash Goddess of War because she is the sister of True Rider from strange fake. Senji Muramasa is able to forge Tsumukari Muramasa, a recreation of the legendary sword Kusanagi-no-Tachi. Since he isn't a god or demigod, using the sword kills him. However, when he gets properly summoned as a Servant, he can use Tsumukari Muramasa as many times as he wants, likely because he is creating slightly weaker versions to mitigate the backlash. He expresses awe for Ibuki-Douji, a wielder of the actual Kusanagi. Minamoto no Raikou was the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, so in her Berserker form, her Noble Phantasm, Ox-King Storm Call - The Inescapable Net of Heaven, allows her to create duplicates of herself that wield her subordinates' weapons. These include Sakata Kintoki's axe, Watanabe no Tsuna's sword, Urabe no Suetake's bow, and Usui Sadamitsu's naginata. The Lancer version of Minamoto no Raikou has the spear Vajra. Arjuna is shocked and points out that Vajra belongs to his father, the Hindu god Indra, so he wonders how the Japanese Raikou has it. It turns out that Raikou's father Gozu Tennou was actually Indra under an alias, so she is Arjuna's half-sister and one of Indra's heirs. When she prayed to her father for aid, he gave her Vajra. Kama also wields Vajra because of an incident where she did Indra a favor and Indra allowed her to borrow Vajra as thanks. Vritra also wields Vajra because when Indra stabbed her with it, Vajra was lodged in her mouth, so she pulled it out and used it. The sword Usumidori originally belonged to Minamoto no Raikou, but Ushiwakamaru has it because she is Raikou's descendant and inherited it. The Rider Mandricardo is able to wield the Lancer Hektor's spear Durindana. This is due to the connection of their legends, as Mandricardo is able to wield the sword Durandal, which was repurposed by Hektor into Durindana and was restored to its original form some time after his death. Since the sword and spear are simply two forms of the same weapon, they can wield either one without issue. Particularly notable since Mandricardo isn't summoned with Durandal because he lost it and never got it back before his death in legend, and in fact has a Noble Phantasm called Serment de Durandal that lets him give Durandal's power to any weapon he possesses, even another Noble Phantasm. His second Noble Phantasm, RÃªve de Durandal, is what allows him to wield Durandal and Durindana, but it only works if Mandricardo truly believes he is worthy. By extension, this also means Roland, the man most famous for wielding Durandal, would also be able to wield Durindana without issue. Mandricardo's skill, Armor of the Nine Worthies, allows him to use Hektor's armor, having acquired it in life. Lore-wise, Astolfo's Hippogriff originally belonged to Bradamante, and he traded his spear Trap of Argalia to her for it, which means she would be able to use them too. Goetia has King Solomon's Noble Phantasms because he possessed Solomon's corpse. When the real Solomon shows up as a Servant, he is able to reclaim his Noble Phantasms and then sacrifice himself, cutting off Goetia's access to them. Mash Kyrielight is able to wield Galahad's shield, Lord Camelot, because she was Raised as a Host to house Galahad's spirit. After Goetia is defeated, Galahad decides to stop helping the heroes and revokes the powers he gave to Mash. Mash finds herself unable to use Lord Camelot anymore. Ritsuka Fujimaru uses a Command Spell to order Galahad to help them, but he resists, leaving Mash with only a fraction of his power. Even with the Ortenaus device augmenting her powers, Mash is only able to use a degraded version called Mold Camelot. However, Da Vinci suspects that it was the shock of Galahad saying he revoked her powers that made her unable to use them. This is seemingly proven in the British Lostbelt when Mash loses her memories, including of Galahad, and gains full access to her powers and Noble Phantasm. She keeps her powers when she gets her memories back. In the second Lostbelt, Gotterdammerung, Surtr the Fire Giant is able to use all of Sigurd's Noble Phantasms, most notably his Cool Sword Gram, because he's currently possessing Sigurd's body and Spirit Origin. When his spirit is freed from Sigurd's body he loses access to them, but that was fine by him because it allowed him to unseal his real body. Odin gave the Valkyries his blessing to wield his spear, Gungnir, so they all have a copy of it when they perform their Noble Phantasm, "RagnarÃ¶k LÃfÃ¾rasir". It is said that their copies are weaker than the original. During the third Summer event, Robin Hood lends his Noble Phantasm No Face May King: Faceless King to Edmond Dantes to help the latter in investigating the "Groundhog Day" Loop they've been trapped in without BB catching him. In this case, it's because "Robin Hood" is technically a Composite Character of numerous rogues who assumed the title, which allows him to lend it to anyone of his choosing. For some reason, Ashwatthama has Sudarshan Chakra Yamaraj, a divine chakram owned by Krishna, even though he had never used it in life and in his myth was unworthy of it. The others are baffled and even he doesn't know why he can use it. Lu Bu's Noble Phantasm is God Force, his halberd that can shape-shift into different forms. His beloved horse Red Hare eventually becomes a Servant, turning into a Centaur-like creature. Red Hare's Noble Phantasm is Imitation God Force, which uses a bow to fire the halberd like an arrow. Jason and his former wife Medea both have the Golden Fleece since they had both owned it. Poseidon granted Caenis his Divine Authority, allowing her to use his Trident. Romulus-Quirinus has access to a version of Heracles' Noble Phantasm, Nine Lives. This is because of a version of his legend that says Heracles is his father. Although this is not true, enough people believe this that it comes true, giving Romulus-Quirinus the benefits of being raised and trained by Heracles, including inheriting his techniques. The Berserker version of Brynhildr has the Noble Phantasm, Brynhildr Sigurutein, a sword which requires her husband Sigurd to use. "Only Brynhildr can summon it and only Sigurd can swing it." The sword is a replica of one that Odin gave to Tyr that Brynhildr imitates with her Primordial Rune magic. Since Odin and Tyr are both Gods of War, this is presumably why Sigurd, the King of Warriors, is required to use it. The Lancer version of Yu Mei-ren wields a spear from her husband, Xiang Yu, by recalling the sword dance she performed at the end of his life and refining it into a spear dance. Professor James Moriarty and Erice Utsumi both have Freikugel, the magic bullets from Der FreischÃ¼tz. Moriarty made a Fusion Dance with Max, who wielded the bullets, while Erice has the spirit of Samiel, who forged the bullets, inside her. Erice Utsumi has Ame-no-Sakahoko, a replica of the goddess Izanami's spear Ame-no-Nuboko with most of the same powers. A few characters are confused at how she is able to wield it. Fate/Requiem eventually reveals that Erice is Izanami's daughter. Sakamoto Ryouma can wield Ame-no-Sakahoko as well because in his backstory, he discovered the dragon Oryou sealed by being pierced by the spear, and he was effortlessly able to remove it. Indeed, his Lancer version wields it, but during the sixth GUDAGUDA event, he gets possessed by the evil god Ama-no-Sakagami who wields it through his body. However, Rider Ryouma is able to steal the spear from Ama-no-Sakagami since they are technically the same person right now and the evil god is partially affected by the spear's anti-divine properties, though Ryouma also suffers pain in the process since he abandoned the Ame-no-Sakahoko in life after freeing Oryou and "it's a bit angry with him". The Caster version of Altria wields Marmyadose, a sword that originally belonged to Heracles. She says she acquired it at some point during her travels in life. Something that we never get to see, though. Ibuki-Douji wields the Kusanagi-no-Tachi, the sacred sword and Imperial Treasure that the god Susanoo found within the body of Yamata-no-Orochi after slaying the multi-headed dragon god. She is able to do this because she is the daughter/avatar of Orochi, and in "Hell Realm Mandala", she is able to give Kintoki the Kusanagi to use against Ashiya Douman. This is most likely due to how Susanoo was able to claim the sword from Orochi and gave it to his sister Amaterasu, as well as due to Kintoki's own natural divine nature (and even he has to use it via his Golden Bear Noble Phantasm). One of Siegfried's Noble Phantasms is Das Rheingold, the cursed Dragon Hoard he claimed when he slew the dragon Fafnir. After his original death, the treasure was eventually claimed by the Einzbern family. Because of this, Sitonai, who uses Illya von Einzbern as a host body, can control the treasure and pacify it when the gold turns sentient and attacks people, and free people who have been cursed by it, though her control is still trumped by Moshirechik Kotanechik, the actual embodiment and spirit in control of the hoard. In the British Lostbelt, the fae spirits Barghest, Baobhan Sith, and Melusine were granted the identities and powers of Sir Gawain, Sir Tristan, and Sir Lancelot by Morgan Le Fay. They are able to use variations of their Noble Phantasms Galatine, Failnaught, and Arondight respectively called Black Dog Galatine, Fetch Failnaught, and Innocence Arondight. Notably, Gawain and Lancelot's powers actually weaken Barghest and Melusine to an extent, as Barghest is a nocturnal fairy who doesn't receive as much benefit from the sun boost and Melusine is so naturally strong Lancelot's peerless combat skill doesn't actually help her much. It's implied this was even intentional on Morgan's part to inhibit their growths as Calamities. Also, the Morgan Le Fay native to this timeline, who ruled Camelot instead of Arthur, is the owner of several copies of Rhongomyniad. These Rhongomyniads are unique to her and she is the only one who can wield them, forcing Chaldea to negotiate with her instead of just taking them. When Altria Caster tries to use them, she notably fails and only succeeds when she converts the system into copies outputting Excalibur's power. Sir Percival wields Lucius Longinus' Spear of Longinus because he and Kundry found it during his quest for the Holy Grail. In the British Lostbelt, Morgan Le Fay used to wield the Spear of Selection, but discarded it when she felt she was no longer worthy of it. This eventually allows the Lostbelt version of Percival to take it and it transforms into the Spear of Longinus in his hands. The Lostbelt version of Habetrot kept Mash Kyrielight's Black Barrel for safe keeping for centuries (time travel was involved). This causes her to become attuned to it and become its "guardian fairy". The summoned version has a Noble Phantasm called Spinster Habetrot which allows her to summon and fire the Black Barrel, and her version does not have as many detrimental effects on the user's health. Since the summoned version does not have her Lostbelt self's memories, she does not understand why she has and can use the Black Barrel. In the Arcade version of the game, Nebuchadnezzar II's spirit possesses a clone of Gilgamesh. This grants him Gate of Babylon, but he cannot access Gilgamesh's real treasures like Ea, Enkidu, and the Holy Grail. The god ManannÃ¡n mac Lir possesses Bazett Fraga McRemitz's body to be summoned as a Servant. They naturally use Fragarach, and since ManannÃ¡n is Fragarach's original owner they can utilize it in ways Bazett could only dream of on her own, such as being able to Counter-Attack a far more variety of techniques rather than Bazett being limited solely to her opponent's "trump card". Since in legend, ManannÃ¡n mac Lir originally owned and gave Diarmuid Ua Duibhne his weapons Gae Buidhe, Moraltach, and Beagaltach, they would be able to use them too. Kriemhild wields her husband Siegfried's sword Balmung because in life, she used it to avenge his murder. Notably, while Siegfried manifests Balmung's holy side, Kriemhild manifests its demonic side. The Saber version of Sir Gareth wields Robigus Ironside, the sword of Sir Ironside the Red Knight, because in life she defeated him and confiscated it. The Avenger version of Erice Utsumi has Ame-no-Kagaminofune, the boat of the god Sukunabikona. She says he let her rent it due to her divine heritage. Mori Ranmaru's Noble Phantasm is the severed head of Oda Nobunaga, which has the power to alter history. In his event, he gets mortally wounded, but prays for someone to recover the head. His prayers are answered by Mysterious Ranmaru X, a female counterpart of himself from another dimension. Since they are basically the same person, she is able to use the head to save the day. The Britomart who appears here is actually the daughter of the original hero. She inherited two Noble Phantasms from her mother: the lance Penetrate Blaiddyd and the suit of armor Fortress Angela. In turn, her mother got these in life from the Briton King Bladud (Blaiddyd) and the Saxon Queen Angela, respectively. Taira no Kagekiyo possessed Kiichi Hougen's student Ushiwakamaru, steals Hougen's Mallet of Fortune, and goes on a rampage with it. After Kagekiyo is stopped, the heroes point out that since Hougen is the Mallet of Fortune's true owner, she could have called it to her hand at any time. Embarrassed, she tries to save face by saying she wanted them to prove their strength. Ozmandias' Noble Phantasm, Ramesseum Tentyris, lets him summon a temple with many divine beasts from Egyptian mythology like Ammit the Devourer, which he can do since he's an incarnation of Ra. Nitocris Alter can also summon Ammit since she is being possessed by her master, Anubis. Of course, the Anubis seen in Fate/Requiem can summon Ammit. Ishtar can summon Gugalanna, the Bull of Heaven. Ereskigal Alter can use the Authority "Boundary Gorge, Heaven's Thunder Palace" to mass produce Gugalanna's legs for a stomping attack. The Saber version of Medusa wields the golden sword of her son, Chrysaor. When she is killed, she gives the sword to the heroes and gives them permission to use it, allowing Ritsuka to wield it and use its powers. Typhon Ephemeros absorbed the power of Typhon directly from him due to being the fruit from his legend that weakened him when he devoured it, allowing her to call upon his powers as well as those he himself took from Zeus. This also allows her to merge with Typhon and control him directly after she allows him to eat her once again. Theseus has a skill called Martial Retribution that is based on his stealing his opponents' weapons during his Six Labors. This allows him to steal his opponent's weapon and use it, but it does not work on divine, holy, or magical weapons. In game, he wields the club he took from the bandit Periphetes, the sword of his father King Aegeus, and a shield made from the mask of Asterios the Minotaur. Ruler Uesugi Kenshin wields the sword Shiodome-no-Tachi for her Noble Phantasm Bishamonten's Eight Phases - Shiranui. The sword was a gift from her rival Takeda Harunobu/Shingen. Since the sword originally belonged to Takeda, he is able to wield it. King Ashoka can use Buddha's Noble Phantasm, Chakravartin, because he ascended to Buddhahood. Fate/Extella Link: Charlemagne's Noble Phantasm "Joyeuse Ordre: Exemplify the Heroic King, O' Twelve Radiant Swords That Travel the Wide World", derived from his sword, Joyeuse, allows him to summon and use the weapons of his Paladins, which includes Astolfo's Trap of Argalia. Karl der GroÃŸe, an Alternate Self of Charlemagne, also has Joyeuse, but since he is based on the mundane, real life version of Charlemagne and not the one from the myths, he cannot use Joyeuse Ordre, so he only wields it as a sword. Fate/Requiem: Lucius Longinus is the original owner of the Spear of Longinus and naturally has it. Kundry can create and wield a copy of the Spear of Longinus because her legend involved her helping Sir Percival find it. Galahad Alter has the Sword of the Strange Hangings, a holy sword that originally belonged to King David. In life, he found the sword during his adventures and was worthy of drawing it from its resting place. Fate/Samurai Remnant: Saber, Yamato Takeru, wields the sword Amenomurakumo-no-Tsurugi, the original form of Kusanagi, because they were given the sword and wielded it in life. It was renamed Kusanagi-no-Tachi sometime after their death. Lancer Jeanne d'Arc gave her Master, Chiemon, permission to wield her sword, La Pucelle, and use its powers. Miyamoto Iori can use an improved version of Sasaki Kojiro's Tsubame Gaeshi because he received training from him.

Siegmund proceeds to do this, naming it Nothung (from German Noth, "need, travail"); however, Wotan, convinced by his wife Fricka, betrays Siegmund and shatters the sword. It can only be reforged by a hero without fear — Siegmund and Sieglinde's son, Siegfried.

It is 20 feet long and as thick as a barrel. No dragon can lift it. Then one day it begins to glow, and soon Monkey arrives seeking a weapon. He picks up the rod and tells it to become smaller: it shrinks to fit him (but is still as thick as a rice bowl and weighs many thousand pounds — Monkey is quite a hero). He can get it to be any size he wants, and when not in use, he reduces it to the size of a needle and stores it in his ear.

His Savior of Olympus skill also grants him the right to use any of the Mysteries of Ancient Greece and Rome, which lets him draw upon any Noble Phantasm he's ever owned through his other Noble Phantasm, Perseus Khresmos. This is also implied to be what makes him compatible with any of the gods' nanomachines, which Athena warns would tear him apart if they rejected him.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	In PokÃ©mon: The Series, it is stated that the PokÃ©mon will only obey the original person that caught, trained, and raised it (and only if it considers him/her worthy). So care must be taken when loaning other people your PokÃ©mon, or gifting them to others, or trading them to instruct the creature to "do whatever so-and-so tells you to do." The best example of this being Ash's Charmander, which becomes rebellious when it evolves to a Charmeleon/Charizard, as it belonged to another trainer before joining him. Charizard only starts obeying him when he saves it from being frozen in ice. This is averted, however, if the PokÃ©mon are familiar enough with the individuals in the group. For example, Ash's PokÃ©mon have no issues with obeying Misty or Brock when separated from Ash, even without permission. It can also be averted with certain PokÃ©mon that are loaned to trainers and trained to (temporarily) obey whoever is controlling them; even so, their original trainers can reassert control if it's necessary (such as when Team Rocket tried to steal some of them). Ash's Froakie from the XY saga is an interesting case, as it has a history of ditching trainers who don't measure up. Ash is the first trainer it considers worthy and the only one who unlocks its Super Mode.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_d616724d	comment	League of Legends has a complicated twist on this with a sub-race of "chosen ones" and the magical element "True Ice". True Ice is a god-formed, unmelting version of ice that can and has been made into weapons, but it's so pure that any normal living being attempting to touch it will perish. The only exceptions are Iceborn, a hereditary lineage of humans and other races that are immune to the cold and can thus withstand and manipulate their power. Perhaps the most significant Iceborn of the game — Ashe the Frost Archer, Sejuani the Fury of the North, and Lissandra the Ice Witch — are the most tied to the Three Sisters, the source of the Iceborn heritage (Ashe and Sejuani are believed to be reincarnations of Avarosa and Serylda, Lissandra herself is the third sister).

When Caleb tried to steal it, massacring the guards and priests of what he assumed was its hiding place, he found only a message that came very close to quoting the trope: It is not for thee. It is for Her alone to wield. He tries to get around this by having his Bringers chip away the rock around the Scythe, but fortunately Buffy finds it first and "King Arthurs" it from the stone.

It's an interesting example because, technically, anybody can use it. The blade just becomes too dull to be any good for fighting if it's not in the hands of a royal family member. This also becomes a plot point in Lucina's supports with her siblingnote who can possibly be Brady, Inigo, Kjelle, Cynthia, or a male Morgan, when she ponders if he/she can wield it too, especially if he/she ended up needing to because Lucina died in battle. After some angst over the subject (because the sibling didn't want to think of his/her sister dying), they finally test it against a log. Lucina ends up leaving before finding out, the sibling walks away thinking he/she can't, but a line of dialogue from Chrom reveals he/she can. Walhart has a battleaxe known as the Wolf Berg, which only he can wield.

When original Yellow Ranger Trini Kwan is killed in battle, her daughter Minh attempts to use the Yellow Sabretooth Tiger coin for herself, but is initially unable to use the coin as she only wants to fight out of a desire for revenge for her mother's death. After Minh risks her life to save Billy- the original Blue Ranger- from another attack, the Yellow Coin responds to Minh and allows her to morph. The other Rangers speculate that this is because Minh acted to save a life rather than to punish an enemy, with fellow Yellow Ranger Aisha Campbell assuring Minh that she is now a worthy Ranger.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_fb8549c	comment	One issue of Deadpool had him get the hammer, and all the powers contained therein. It all turned out to be an illusion created by Loki to mess with Thor's head. Shame...

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_fb9c177d	comment	The Matrix of Leadership from Transformers can only be opened and wielded by a Prime or his chosen successor, like Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime. Galvatron and Ultra Magnus, who are roughly equal in strength to Optimus Prime, cannot budge it. And it's not a Prime who chooses his successor, it's the Matrix itself who chooses a Prime's successor, what makes it a quasi/sort of Empathic Weapon. Ultra Magnus was chosen by a Prime to be his successor, but he wasn't able to use it. Though just because it choses someone doesn't necessarily mean they're a good choice, as Nova Prime, Sentinel Prime, and Zeta Prime can attest. Not to mention the time Thunderwing, an extremely powerful Decepticon, got his mitts on it in The Transformers (Marvel). Or Starscream, though at least in his case it soon started making Starscream good.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_fbb63df8	comment	Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star: Altera wields the Sword of Mars, Photon Ray, because her original self, Sefar, defeated Ares in combat and took it as a trophy. Ares is really pissed off about this, and no matter where or when she is, when she invokes the sword's powers, Ares senses it and tries to reclaim it by trying to smite her with a Kill Sat-like strike, which she cleverly redirects into her opponents. When Ares is briefly summoned in Fate/Grand Order, he uses a different sword since he never got Photon Ray back.

So far it's credited with having saved the lives of three generations of Mathesons over a 75-year period. What are the odds Charlie will end up with it?

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_fe16b92c	comment	In Season 10 of Happy Heroes, one of the characters finds a trident possessed by evil and somehow manages to wield it, when Big M. and Little M. are incapable as seen in their previous attempts. Similarly, Careful S. finds the Sword of Justice to combat this evil, and it is revealed only those empowered by justness can wield the sword.

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_fe83990a	comment	The Cloths of Saint Seiya have to be earned for the right to be worn. Sometimes, a specific cloth can be allowed to be worn by someone else other than their proper owner (such as Seiya wearing the Sagitarius Cloth and Odin's Robe at different points), and also, a cloth could deem its owner unworthy and abandon them voluntarily (happens to Cancer Deathmask).

Only the Chosen May Wield / int_fe8ef766	comment	Only a handful of beings have been able to wield the legendary hammer MjÃ¶lnir to date: Odin, Thor, Captain America, Storm, Wonder Woman (in the crossover Marvel Versus DC), Spider-Man 2099, Thunderstrike, Beta Ray Bill, Jane Foster, Puddlegulp the frog, and Eddie Brock. If someone is unworthy, they will be unable to budge it from the ground. However, if a worthy person is holding it, an unworthy person will still be able to lift them. Note, however, that this trope does not come from Norse Mythology: in the myths, Mjolnir is simply a hammer so heavy that only Thor, the strongest God of all, can lift it (and even requiring a special belt called MegingjÃ¶rÃ° and a set of iron gloves called JÃ¡rngreipr to augment his strength even further). In fact, it was even stolen by the Giant Thrym in the Poetic Edda, who requested a marriage with Freya as ransom. Jack Kirby had to rely to this trope when he created the character because the Marvel Universe was already a setting with characters with superhuman strength. Being "worthy" was just a way to ensure that only Thor would lift the hammer, and for a long while nobody else was. In-universe, the "worthiness" requirement was imposed by Odin rather than being intrinsic to the hammer. It's also possible for somebody was previously unworthy to become worthy (as seen with Eddie Brock) or to lose their worthiness (as seen temporarily with Thor) if their mentality changes to become more or less noble than they used to be.
