Nukariya, Kaiten. The Religion of the Samurai. 2014

Touches on the citation needed in the introduction. Though considering removing that sentence because of broad sweeping non objectionable statements.

Schwartz, Leigh. “Fantasy, Realism, and the Other in Recent Video Games.” Space and Culture, vol. 9, no. 3, 2006, pp. 313–325.

speaks to the use of magical weapons (including swords) in modern video games. Possibly dated but may be of use.

The Holy Bible.

Entire section of flaming swords from the bible. As discussed on the talk page this may be inappropriate however there are no line citations for the current paragraph. Consider finding these citations and adding them.

Excellent resource documenting the mythological heroes (and their weapons) from around the world. Will use heavily to touch up the different citations which appear to lacking.

Munch, P. A., et al. Norse Mythology : Legends of Gods and Heroes. AMS Press, 1970.

The "Germanic" Section appears to be more of a Norse section. An in depth revamp of that section and using citations from this source can clear up that section to more representative.

Information is mostly complete. The missing source tags are proving hard to find sources for.

Posted on the talk page with some suggestions on how to handle the formatting. Also handled some basic problems such as wrong headings and capitalizations.

GreysteilGreysteil ("Graysteel")is a popular 16th century Scottish poem set to music performed for both James IV of Scotland and James IV of Scotland. The name comes from the poems protagonist Sir Greysteil. The poem sometimes goes by the title Syr Egeir and Syr Grymeas those characters challenge Greysteil in combat and whose contrasting virtues are the main subject of the poem. The poem is thought to have been authored in the 15th century and its origins are of debate. The poem survives in only three late versions. The protoganist ,Sir Greysteil, is a strong and agile knight. He is portrayed as opulent, tainted with the black-arts, and is vanquished by a magic sword provided by a powerful woman. His name was adopted as a nickname for two 16th-century courtiers, Archibald Douglas of Kilspindie who was said to have been dominated by his wife Isobel Hoppar, and William Ruthven, 1st Earl of Gowrie. Alexander Montgomery, 6th Earl of Eglinton also took it in the 17th-century. It was the given name of the 20th-century 2nd earl of Gowrie.

rewrote lead paragraph. Not much available research on the topic that was not already adressed within the wiki. The wiki is seemingly very complete. Without access to original manuscripts and the inability to read the works myself I was at a bit of an impasse. Without some luck and randomly finding an early version in some yet undiscovered library collection this poem may be as it is.
