"My love for swords has given me the ability to create them from thin air!"

―Matt, Epic Battle Fantasy 4

Seiken (also known as Holy Sword in Epic Battle Fantasy 4) is one of Matt's signature skills, having appeared in every game of the Epic Battle Fantasy series.

Description

When cast, a runic circle appears in front of an enemy, diagonally facing the ground. From this circle, a sword-shaped blast of white energy erupts, dealing high Holy-elemental damage to a single target.

Equipping Holy elemental sword such as Heaven's Gate or Rune Blade will boost the power of Holy Sword. In EBF4, Heaven's Gate may automatically cast Holy Sword with certain skills.

Trivia

The sword summoned by Holy Sword is a white silhouette of Heaven's Gate.
"Seiken" is Japanese for "Holy Sword", hence its name.
The symbols on the summoning circle appear to be lowercase Greek letters.
Holy Sword's animation is inspired by Excalibur's unleash from the Golden Sun series.
A similar attack was used by Matt to defeat Natalie in Brawl Royale, prior to the series. However, it summoned an actual sword, instead of one made of pure energy, it was also considerably larger, so big that the summoning portal wasn't visible on-screen.
