As the subtitle of this blog would suggest, I'm a researcher. That's what I've been doing, and I may have found something.
They call it the "Horizon's Blade', which exists in some form across most cultures - making this artifact somewhat compelling. Two different civilizations telling almost identical stories over a century apart would be compelling alone, but multiple unrelated societies including such a similar artifact, the only mythological construct more compelling I've seen is the Giant, which appeared across every, single, human civilization at least four times.
Regardless, this blade. It's said to be about four feet in length, curved at the end and made of a Glass-like Material that "...Shines with the colors of the heavens," as one source puts it. The blade itself is constructed of some form of sharp semi-transparent material with "...stained sections, multiple of them, without a barrier between each and instead a gradient...", and a "...blade edged with the skin of the Horizon, a weapon not even Gods can resist, as all must yield unto."
It's said that the Blade was made to kill the Giant - a God Slayer they called it - and that every color of the sky reflects through it. Apparently, it resonates or hums, strange and subtle sound emanating from it. There's one thing that leads me to believe in this artifact's truth... a single contemporary example. Erin Callaghan owned the Horizon's Blade (or some variant therein), while being chased by the Giant. She claimed that the sword whispered to her; that it was sentient. She used it against the Giant one day and discovered it's purpose. A sound like ripping paper roared through the air and she barely even scraped the Tall Man's chest. It ran, apparently. Disappearing like it has appeared so many times, Miss Callaghan did not see It for numerous months. Sadly, that did not stop the Giant from killing her, in the end, and the Horizon's blade was lost. I could disclose the location she had lived, but due to the way that the knife operates, it's probably miles away and decades from now.
Theory:
The Horizon's Blade functions similarly to the Giant, and the existence of a 'perfect host' may in fact hamper or destroy the Giant. A 'perfect host' would be a Human Being acting as a conduit for the Giant (or something else)'s power. If the knife operates similarly, it may be targeting or joining those who can use it. If so, it is likely more powerful or useful in the hands of someone with the correct physical/psychic properties.
Test:
Obtain a conduit, preferably a perfect one (analysis of possible results suggests people with mild Asperger's Syndrome and a higher than average IQ are likely to be excellent conduits), and expose them to the knife. Observe it's power and use in the hands of an average human being, and compare with that of a conduit.
Even if the Blade exists, finding it will be most difficult. It probably only appears to those 'worthy' or capable.
Other weaknesses must be found and exploited. I find the facts we learned from Jace's case are uplifting - The Giant is not omniscient, and can be ambushed or surprised at the least.
I should end this here. Expect more soon. for now,
