Magic weapons (魔武器, Mabuki), sometimes referred to as simply weapons (武器, Buki), are human beings capable of transforming into a weapon.[1]

History[]

Between 1201-1300, the magic weapon race came into fruition from the result of Arachne Gorgon's research, where she combined the souls of human beings with that of a weapon alongside a witch soul (which granted them transformative abilities) by sacrificing her own kind.[2] Among the very first weapons she created were the ancestors of the Nakatsukasa family.[3]As a result of this affront, she was chased by both the Grim Reaper and her fellow witches.[2] Turning to her younger sister for assistance among, she was later betrayed by Medusa and trapped in a battle with Death in Loew Village and was critically injured as a result. In order to fake her death, she split her body and soul into many pieces and some of it into the Oldest Golem.[2]
