Weapons[]

Anima (1st Timeline)[]

A zweihänder found in his father grave also know as the Sword of Almarian. While Anima looks similar to faust, it is actually a completely different sword, as it was passed down the Johnathan's family for generations. It's first wielder Johnathan The First had sealed a 1/5th of The Calibur's power within it which only he was able to use but his descended John eventually discovered he was able to unleash this power as well. As the power is unleashed, the sword begins to glow brightly and transforms into a light blue crystal sword version of it self (though it's hardly noticeable due to the bright light that engulfs the sword). Once it has transformed, a single blow will kill the foe with an explosion of crystals and blue flames, it then powers down and transforms back into Anima.

Anima (2nd Timeline)[]
