Archangel's Righteous Flaming Sword Chamael's Bible, Genesis 3:22-24Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the Angel- with a flaming sword that turned every which way- to punish them.

Requires Seasoned
You possess a mastery of Swords.
Used by Chamael, Created by Redchigh.

This is an alien blade, positively radiating an otherworldly aura of authority- similiar to the one used to banish Adam and Eve from Eden, and used to guard the tree of life.
When drawn, it the blade is engulfed in a heatless white flame (that's not 'holy', not exactly...)
