Each of the Swords has a specific gem in its hilt or pommel and is inscribed with runes that can only be seen with magical detection. A keen eye will discern that normal runes are also present depicting each blades name though the runes vary from blade to blade. Each of the Swords has its own distinct type of foe it was forged to combat. The gem of each Sword will emit a pulsating glow when near its target creature and the glow will pulse faster the closer the target gets, as well as becoming brighter the more of that kind of foe there is.
