Second Aristh:
Also, just because the items are all associated with the crucifixion doesn't mean they can't also be other mythical items.  Hades implies that they've been used as weapons before Harry got there.  Those stories would have added onto the legends associated with the items.  I just don't think the knife is also Medea's bodkin.

kazimmoinuddin:
Lea claimed the tainted blade she received was a a match for the sword she traded away. I could easily see the blade from the vault becoming such a weapon, but that tainted blade make me wonder just what it is.

Have you seen this WoJ?


--- Quote ---What is the Black Athame, and what is it’s relation to Medea’s Bodkin?
The Black Athame was Morgan La Fay’s athame.  That was the one that got traded around in Grave Peril… at the vampire costume party.  Well an Athame is the original knife that was used in magic, and while they aren’t necessarily magical themselves, if you involve them in enough really cool big things that are going on, they start gaining their own sort of power and their own sort of awareness.  Which is not to say they become intelligent or anything, but they become very extremely dangerous tools.  And that one was a very, very dangerous tool, on a level with Ammoracchius, which is why it got traded that way.  Medea’s Bodkin is another Athame that is far older, and is used more classically documented witches.  The ones who actually survived falls of several empires there –you still hear about them- Also a very bad news kind of implement, just so you know.

Yes, but in Changes Odin was using his Spear (presumably Odin's mythic spear Gungnir) /as/ a wizards staff.  It would appeal to me for harry to mount the spear of destiny on his staff, giving an upgrade to both.  Its always been the point and not the shaft that was important in the histories, but if the shaft were an enchanted Wizards staff (especially the muiltpurpose, layered version he had in SG) it could be all kinds of fun.

Besides, Harry's staff will always have a knob at the end so long as he is the one holding it  8)
