This link above will land you at a page where Amethyst Angel made a sword prop,
that is made up of two HUGE daggers,
that could actually be attached together to form ONE MASSIVE SWORD.
Yes...it could stay attached, and can be detached...just like it is in Game..

Posting this piece of info. from a thread...as requested by Sour_cheese

HOW TO KNOW WHETHER YOUR WIG IS A basic WAVY WIG OR A basic STRAIGHT WIG (styling not regarded)

General Idea:
For cosplays, look for wigs style only by judging from the top half of the character's drawing.
If its wavy from 50% upwards, then its a wavy wig.....
If its straight from above 50% of the hair length, then its a straight wig in real life.

the remainder of the style of the wig is then dependant on additional styling AFTER you have already gotten in your mind/knowledge which TYPE of wig its basic form is. This includes Curling the exact %tage to get the right look.

Hope this helps~ Cheerios~
