[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|As it sounds]]. A blade, once broken, reforged! It's probably the [[Sword of Plot Advancement]] or [[Infinity+1 Sword]], but it could also just be the hero's signature weapon, if it got [[Wrecked Weapon|broken somehow]]. In reality, going through something like this would weaken the integrity of a blade, if it is possible at all (realistically "reforging" a blade would be melting down and recycling the metal as well as adding some new metal if you want a same sized blade, effectively making it a new sword, which might be handy for [[Unobtainium]]). In fiction, they might actually come out of the reforging STRONGER than they went in. |
