Much like Soul Edge, Soul Calibur boasts a grand amount of strength, more than any other weapon in the games where she is featured as an unlockable weapon. The sword can also assume her original form when the spirit of the sword, Elysium, mimics Leixia's fighting style. Aside from its usual appearances, Soul Calibur seems to be able to morph into various more "ordinary" looking weapons without the general crystalline form as a form of disguise, such as the Krita Yuga jian form used by Xianghua or the inert, decorative Zweihander sword available for Siegfried as Soul Calibur (Hidden). Both the sheath and the blade's blunt edge are lined with various runic symbols. When Patroklos's resolve becomes strengthened, she becomes a much slimmer blade and even forms a sheath. The handguard now features her face, much like Soul Edge's skull. In Soulcalibur V, she reverts to her original size from her debut and has a more sleek appearance. By the time of Soulcalibur IV, the sword becomes nothing more than a large crystalline/ice structure vaguely resembling a sword, including the hilt, possibly showing how unstable the swords powers had become. Reflecting Siegfried's nature, she also grows into a large two-handed sword with an elaborate hand guard where her glowing core floats disembodied within. She retains this design until she is grasped by Siegfried where then by she takes on a more crystalline appearance. The blade itself also gains a bit of width with a forked design. After revealing herself to Xianghua, she takes on the form of a shimmering blue sword with a winged handguard where a crystal lies within. In her first appearance, Soul Calibur is disguised as a Chinese Sword with a thin blade called Krita-Yuga. In contrast to Soul Edge's flesh and bone-like forms with an eye as the core, Soul Calibur has a crystalline and ice-like design with a glowing sphere. Much like Soul Edge, Soul Calibur takes on various forms throughout the series but her form is most commonly some type of sword. 5.4 Soulcalibur IV/Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny.
