Even if, they all died. Seems like an lame destroy condition. The Swords of the Cross would be gone the way of history with this condition...

Yeah, Murphy shot the leader, two of them killed each other, and I forget what the final one died of, but they're all dead.
As for the comparison, consider that Harry thought he could make a Hexenwulf belt. People don't think that kind of thing about the Swords. Not all Items of Power are equal. From a gameplay perspective, taking them permanently away from a PC just needs to be impossible. Needing the bearer slain to destroy them fits that condition nicely.
I do, however, think we need brief guidelines for Thaumaturgical shapeshifting. It's probably not gonna be available in the midst of combat without buying some other power, but it's clearly an available ability in the setting, and some basic guidelines on difficulty seem somewhat necessary.

Three of them killed each other. :)

So it depends on the Caster.
A young one would need to make an Item of Power.
An old expierenced Wizard could make it as an Magic Item.

I think thats the reason why I thougth about them as Magic Item and not as Item of Power.
Harry thought he could make one...

I've split off the thaumaturgical shapeshifting conversation that followed the above to a new thread, as I think it runs the risk of getting lost in here:

And when I say "block" I mean "hold it between you and the incoming magic and the spell is blocked" - though not, I imagine, with absolute certainty of success. To be honest, I'm not entirely certain such an item is possible in the setting...

Ooh, that's an interesting question. I'm gonna split it off to its own thread and think about it.
