Line 2:
A sword, or any other type of weapon, that unleashes some form of "hidden" (or not so hidden) power when certain conditions are met, such as the wielder nearing death, blood getting splashed on it, etc. This weapon tends to be most prominently used in a [[Desperation Attack]].
 
Situational Swords are similar in concept to the [[Empathic Weapon]], but generally tend to be non-Sentient. When [[Empathic Weapon]] is a '''Situational Sword''', it is usually [[Loyal Phlebotinum]]. Compare Evolving Weapon]] for weapons that "level up" and [[Full Potential Upgrade]] for weapons or(and tools) that have to be powered-up along with the character.
 
A common subtrope is [[Weapon of X-Slaying]].
