31 Buffy The Vampire Slayer characters
16: Wielder Of A Magic Weapon
We’re at the halfway point of the challenge!
We now enter a section I call “Hey, this is an urban fantasy show with slightly superhero-y characters, I could run this with Buffy|!”
And even more remarkably, I’ve actually played this one!
As well as Buffy getting the Scythe late in season seven, assorted magical weapons turn up throughout Buffy and Angel, and people have used them in superhero comics and urban fantasy adventures before them, as well as some obviously post-Buffy examples like the TV version of Wynonna Earp.
Someone finds, inherits or otherwise gets stuck with an enchanted sword, blessed Colt .45 or something of the sort, and is expected to fight evil with it. Expect struggling with the weight of expectations.
The Night Watch had Excalibur as its example (as does The Kid Who Would Be King) and I took the never-named sword in the stone for mine...

Description: Deceptively average
Example quote: “I’m stuck with this, so that means I gotta do it.”
Jim acquired the Nameless Sword kind of by accident, pulling it out of a stone when under attack at a building site at the back of his school. At least it looks like an accident to him. People keep talking about fate.
