Völundr Example

A simplified example of how a Völundr works

A Völundr (神器錬成ヴェルンド, Verundo, literally meaning "Divine Weapon Forgery") is the act of uniting the soul of a Human with the soul of a Valkyrie, which transforms the Valkyrie into a Divine Weapon most suitable for that Human.

Overview[]

In order for the Völundr to happen, both the Human and the Valkyrie must resonate with the same emotion, which is also described as "being on the same wavelength".

If they manage to "match their wavelengths", the Valkyrie will become the Divine Weapon most suitable for the Human. These weapons, besides their extreme durability, often have supernatural abilities which allows its user to fight at the peak of their potential and even beyond.

Common Destiny[]

Völundr works by using the power of "Samavadhāna" (一蓮托生, Ishiren Takusho, literally meaning "Common Destiny") present within Buddhism. Prior to the beginning of Ragnarok, Brunhilde sought out Buddha in order to learn more about it and would go on to teach the Valkyries how to perform it, bestowing their Human wielders with the power to harm Gods by entrusting them with their lives.

Abilities and Properties[]

Völundr-created weapons have all the same capabilities as those of common Divine Weapons, being superior to any weapon made on Earth, possessing superior durability and sharpness. They are also capable of harming and killing supernatural beings, including Gods.

Besides the standard abilities present in all Divine Weapons, most Völundr weapons include a unique ability based on the Valkyrie's name.

Downsides[]

Due to the power of Samavadhāna used in the Völundr, the Human warrior and the Valkyrie have a shared fate, meaning that if the wielder dies the Valkyrie does as well and both of them are sent to Niflhel. Another weakness is that while, Völundr-created weapons are surprisingly durable, they are not indestructible and if they are damaged in any way the damage will also wound the Valkyrie's body.

Trivia[]

  • In Norse mythology, "Völundr" is one of the names of the legendary Wayland The Smith.
  • While most Völundrs require the cooperation of both the Human and the Valkyrie, forcing a Völundr isn't impossible as Jack the Ripper managed to strongarm Hlökk into performing a Völundr with him through the use of his emotion-sensing eye.
  • It has been shown that not only Valkyries can do Völundr, Gods and Demons are also capable of doing it, Zerofuku being the only God known to do it so far.
