Why? Be sure to cite specific examples from the text to support your thesis.

Essay Topic 3

The nail embedded in Amoracchius's hilt is a powerful symbol of Michael's faith. Would Amoracchius have as much power if it weren't for the relic with which it was made? Is it the nail that gives Amoracchius its power, or does the sword simply serve to channel Michael's faith magic, in much the same way Harry's blasting rod works?
