The Fourth Holy Sword
knnn:
Does it have to be a Sword that is no longer in use? Could it possibly be that old knife Harry picked up in his latest romp?

Soulfire is still a bit of an unknown quality. We dunno if it simply gives temporary 'emphasis' on the spells/enchantments or if a sword was infused with it would allow such a power to linger. And if it requires some form of upkeep, which I suspect it would just not as much as say Harry's duster even once you get the knack of it, then you have to weigh the value vs the possible dangers.

Other than cuz I like the story I made? ;D
Mostly because it fits it two ways, IF Raphael is 'out of the game' and the angels do have some connection to the Swords, then it would make sense for it to be a physical representation of his 'absence'.
Granted that still falls into the WAG mentality of reasoning, so the other argument is based on the other relics and what event they are pointing to...Spear of Longinus makes more sense.

Ah.
Well in that case, just go with saying that there indeed were originally four Nails, and that Triclavianism is just a way to hide the fact that the forces of Heaven lost a battle.

Haha that sounds like it would border into TT areas. But I do like the idea of a 'lost fourth nail'. Durendal was pretty specific as to what it supposedly housed in its hilt though, that's the main reason it blossomed the way it did.
