It's simply a direct connection to the cosmic force in some ways.
I think that's the Mjolnir reference with Michael's beer opener. The Hammer is a real likely incarnation of Hope/Duty itself. But no Nails were ever directly connected to it. Even the nails themselves hold power through actually having bits of Christ's blood so it's hard to say that extra power is not a direct result of things done with it like Morgana's atheme...

Im going to go with Yes, based purely on the fact that at least some of Fidelacchius's Power actually predates the Nail.

Ermm... key word in sword of faith is Faith? not sword or even nail.

Precisely mine point. I think the power of the cosmic force mixed with the power of the nails in power/purpose. Minus the Nail the force itself would still exist it would simply lack the foci of the Blood of a diety.... Which the focus would conceivably have to do with the purity of the Knight and his time.

Sure, but I missed the part where Michael's bottle opener was anything more than geek swag?

But Jim is a lazy author. Why would he put that in the book if it wasn't secretly a sign that Michael was a descendant of Thor?
