If you had a magic sword

[Glade Riven]

If you could choose to have a magic sword from any scifi, fantasy, rpg, etc...what would you choose?

I'd go with the Sword of Omens, the "Swiss Army Knife" of Artifact-Class swords.

Since I have very little use for a sword for a sword's sake, I'd go with a fully charged Luck Blade. I have much more use for multiple Wishes.

I'd go with the Sword of Power. Sure, the Sword of Omens could fire energy and had that nifty clairvoyance thing going, but the Sword of Power gives super-strength, super-speed, invulnerability and could turn my cat into a FREAKING TIGER!!!!

It'd be a tossup between a lightsaber and the Ashbringer from Warcraft.

The former is the usual geek fantasy, and the latter just looks really, really cool. Sure, I could probably not actually lift it, let alone wield it, but it just looks awesome.

Soul Calibur.

 

[El Mahdi]

I'd have to agree with cygnus on a lightsaber. That would definitely be awesome. But for a magic sword, for me it would be The Sword of Truth.

Stormbringer, if only because "Arioch! Arioch! Blood and souls for my Lord Arioch!" is a much sweeter war cry than "By the power of Grayskull, I have THE POWER!".

And when I'm feeling a little low energy and don't have the pocket change for a chocolate bar...

Hmm, I'm fond of Daubendiek, from Glen Cook's The Swordbearer. Besides it immense fighting power, every foe it slays while in the wielder's hands let the wielder absorb the foe's soul gaining the foe's lifetime of experiences and knowledge, it comes with an immortal henchman.

 

[Tequila Sunrise]

Excalibur, because I love the classics and because it comes with a scabbard that heals.

Boy...that would make for some pretty odd Snickers-style "You're not yourself when you're hungry" commercials! Imagine Betty White's eyes starting to glow as she bisects the entire huddle...or Aretha Franklin thrusting a blade through the guy next to her in the car!
