"Exactly, the secret swordsmanship of Ancient Macedonia, the Illusion Sword," Phibes said gravely, "According to historical records, the generals under Alexander the Great and his King's Friend Knights, who were also his friends and students, thus mastered his Extraordinary Swordsmanship, the Illusion Sword."
"The execution of the Illusion Sword requires the Arcane Power from the Arcane Sequence. Alexander the Great himself had the bloodline 'Meteor Fire Rain,' and for the King's Friend Knights to use the Illusion Sword, they needed to draw on external sources to supplement their Arcane Power."
