Kratos's energy/power infusion ability

[Stefano4444]

While it was never be explicitly imply or stated, it was show many times in the series in both gameplay and cutscenes, that many characters (from Gods, Demigods and Mythological Creatures) had the capacity to generate/manifest some kind of energy, included Kratos himself.

This is clearly show in the gameplay, as everytime Kratos is fighting his blades would start to emitting light (which color tend to vary in games), which seen to suggest that Kratos had the ability of infuse his "divine" power into his weapons for make them stronger.

And is not like this is just a mere game mechanic or a special effect, in the second cutscene of GoW1, we can see that even here Kratos's blades do emit light, which mean that is not just a mere game feature.

And even in several button mashing moments in the series, Kratos had show the capacities of generate explosions, by infusing his "divine" power intro his weapons (this also happen when he perform heavy attacks).

And before someone it going to said it, magic is not technically the same thing as "divine" power, it seen instead that there is a distint difference between the two, even if they're related for a certain extend.

Since for increase the power of magics (just like in the case of the weapons), you need to utilize red orbs, which for what i can see they should rappresent the "divine" power of a character (just like green orbs rappresent life energy and blue orbs rappresent magic energy)

And while for a certain extend orbs could be considered a game mechanic feature (about the fact that you can find them in chests), other characters have show similar ability, which prove that is not a mere feature in the game but an actual ability.

Zeus in GoW3 was capable to absorb the life force of Gaia, similar to how Kratos was doing before been interrupted.

Also Persephone show the capacities to momentaneary take all the life/magic energies of Kratos.

I suppose that this seems reasonable. However, I do not think that we have a powers & abilities page for infusing power into weapons.

What about the case of Dante?

- Can channel his devil energy into other objects such as weapons to amplify their effectiveness

Which is something that Kratos had also proved to be able to do in Ascension.

As when he utilize the weapons of his enemies (like the spears), they also emit light.

Well, you can obviously mention it in Kratos's profile, but I do not think that we have a "Weapon Strengthening" powers and abilities page to link to.

Ok.
