The Excalibur Blessing, also known as the Holy Sword of Blessing, is one of the seven Holy Swords created by the Christian Faction in the Excalibur Project.

It blongs to the Catholic Church and is currently wielded by the exorcist Francis Prelati.

Summary
The Excalibur Blessing is one of the seven Holy Swords created by the Christian Faction through a combination of advanced thaumaturgy by those who had reached the territory of gods and ancient Edenith technology to create new powerful weapons for the Church after the True Excalibur was returned to the Lady of the Lake.

After its creation, it was given to the Catholic Church along with another holy sword bearing the name [Excalibur] - the Excalibur Destruction.

When Xenovia Quarta's holy sword Durandal was given back to the Church to be repaired, the Excalibur Blessing, along with 5 other swords bearing the name [Excalibur], was taken back to the Heavenly Forges by the Angels to be reforged into true and powerful Enochian Holy Swords. For reasons unknown, the Seraph Raziel created copies of all the 6 [Excalibur] swords prior to their reforge and fused it with Durandal before sending it back to Xenovia, saying that it was a "gift" from the Angels.

After the Excalibur Blessing was reforged, it was given to Francis Prelati, an exorcist of the Vatican who has shown to possess the suitable values and characteristics to wield the new Holy Sword.

Appearance
The Excalibur Blessing appears as a majestic longsword made out of the finest Rephaite Gold, which glitters with such elegance and purity unlike anything on Earth. The crossguard is shaped like a small set of wings and has a small triangle-like plate with three gems embedded on it, with lines in Adamic hieroglyphs etched around it.

Prior to its reforge, it appeared as a longsword with a golden guard that curved forward and the base of the blade curved inward. It had a green plant stem with leaf petals designed engraved along the blade.

The scabbard for Excalibur Blessing is made out of silver and embedded with priceless gems, with the base of the scabbard forming a cross. When unused, it can be transformed into a golden brooch of a snake biting its own tail, the eyes of which are glowing emeralds.
