Mainstream Story

Generation 7: Ancient Secrets of Irinid (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

The first fragment of Brionac, the Heart of Courcle, had appeared in Iria. It is said that the Heart was an artifact of the Irinid that had used it to achieve creating Iria.

Ruwai had discovered the Heart of Courcle, but the artifact was seized by Castanea.

Generation 9: Alchemist (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Caliburn, the second fragment of Brionac, is mentioned by Elatha. Royal Alchemists, including Leymore, attempted to locate it due to greed. Elatha states that Caliburn withholds powers of darkness, and that it is the basis of the power of Tara and the fundamentals of the Alchemists.

The Heart of Courcle, however, had appeared in the Shadow Realm in the hands of the Fomorians. How they acquired it from the Elves in Generation 7 was not mentioned. Instead, it was ordered to be sketched by Andras. Later, Courcle's Heart fell into the hands of the Shadow Expeditionary Force.

Leymore mentions at the end of the Generation that he is still looking for the Caliburn.

Generation 10: Goddess of Light (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Elatha reveals to Leymore that Cai had used the Caliburn to save Leymore's life. Elatha mentioned the artifact being too powerful for Cai.

Later, it is said the Fomorians are trying to gain both fragments in hopes to make their dreams come true. Cichol had achieved the Caliburn, who was merged with Cai's body, and had been possessed by the God. Cichol then uses Cai's body to destroy the Milletian.

Mata exclaims that the Fomorians had trouble to gain the fragments as Courcle's Heart vested within Light and Caliburn in Darkness.

The Shadow Expeditionary Force have appeared in the Shadow Realm, defending the Heart. After the battle, a lost Elf touches the heart and transforms into none other than Neamhain. The Goddess says the Heart of Courcle, an object from Falias, should never had descended to Erinn. Neamhain disappears alongside with the artifact, only to have spawned Cichol who proclaims that Neamhain had brought the artifact to the Fomorians and what was left to untie the Caliburn and Courcle's Heart.

Neamhain is seen performing a ritual and merging both Caliburn and Courcle's Heart. She explains to Leymore and the Milletian that this transformation of Caliburn would light Tir Na Nog once more. However, Cichol uses Elatha to seize the Caliburn by creating a Doppelganger to destroy the Soul Stream.

After a long battle between the Milletian and the Doppelganger, the Caliburn vanishes and whats left is Cai.

Generation 11: Sword of the Gods (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Cichol appeals to the Milletian saying that the Caliburn is going to destroy Erinn. He states that Aton Cimeni had created Caliburn which would maintain order of all Erinn, and the object was used to destroy the Partholons.

Neamhain continues her plots to use the Caliburn to achieve her goals, and allies with Jenna to do so.

Morrighan warns the Milletian that Caliburn is becoming Brionac, and must be out of Neamhain's reach.

Jenna appeals to Aer, who had safeguarded the Brionac, but warns her to not be swallowed by its power. Cichol appears before her as an attempt to convince her that Brionac will only destroy Tir Na Nog, but is destroyed by the sword's might.

Leymore and the Milletian oppose Neamhain as an attempt to stop her plans with Caliburn. Leymore is defeated, but Jenna is relieved and threatens to kill Neamhain. The Goddess flees shortly, as the Brionac is being granted to the Milletian.

Morrighan announces that the Brionac must be returned to the Altar of Caliburn, but is stopped shortly by the Python Knight, who reveals his identity. The knight, Tuan mac Cairill, explains that he had plotted the Brionac's awakening and attempts to remove the Brionac out of the Milletian's hands to rise its blade back to the Gods. After the battle, Tuan explains that Morrighan had tried to eliminate the Partholons by using Cichol, who had used the Caliburn. He vanishes the moment he mentions he refuses to give up Caliburn's Altar.

Tuan appears in the finale, where he attacks the Milletian and attempts to use Brionac to achieve his goals. However, the Caliburn had appeared to intake the Milletian as its final transformation. When the two merge, Caliburn's judgment removes the remaining Partholons.

In the post-credits, Morrighan reveals to have feared the Milletian because they host four powers of Gods and the Brionac, and therefore, control all of Erinn.

When one repairs the Brionac with Dorren, she calls the Milletian the "Guardian of Caliburn."

Generation 12: Return of the Hero (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Eabha says Brionac is capable of transporting its wielder to Falias.

Shortly, Eabha says that Nuadha had somehow absorbed Brionac's abilities to his own, preventing its full potential, and must be restored by The Ark of Falias.

Later on, Morrighan combines the Ark of Falias and her powers to restore the Brionac. During this moment, Jenna tells the Milletian that, as the wielder of Brionac, they are the only ones who can defeat Nuadha.

Right before the battle with Nuadha, he comments on how the Milletian was capable of restoring the sword a short amount of time. Shortly, the Brionac granted the Milletian Morrighan's powers to defeat the God King.

Generation 16: Macbeth (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

According to Cichol, the Milletian's Brionac is revealed to be the Emissary of Creation, an opposition to Bella, the Emissary of Destruction.

The Saga: Iria (Spoilers)

This part of the current article contains spoilers.

Brionac is used several times in The Saga: Iria to combat the Milletian's enemies.

The first usage of Brionac is in Episode 3, where it is pulled out to combat Languhiris. However, just as the Milletian draws power from Brionac, a Cessair uses its magic to instantly disable and render them unconscious, despite the Milletian's extraordinary, divine power.

In Episode 5, Brionac is used again by the Milletian, now having overcame the Cessair's magic, to combat the Cessair and Languhiris once again. The White Dragon declares that the Milletian is now worthy of fighting them, but their battle must be postponed, and flees.

In Episodes 9 and 10, Brionac is used to destroy Lia Fail, as well as to fight against the Black Dragon Knight/Ruairi, Cessair's Heart, Aonbharrs, and Macha.

Special Abilities

• Despite being a Two-Handed Sword, Elves are capable of wielding it.
• Brionac's Durability can't be increased through the use of Hammers of Durability, such as the Golden Hammer of Durability, Platinum Hammer of Durability, and Crystal Hammer of Durability.

Awakening Brionac

• When the player is under the effects of Shock and/or Awakening of Light and then equips Brionac, the Brionac Awakens, increasing the Damage, Critical Hit Rate, Balance, Splash Range and Splash Radius of Brionac considerably.
  • However, the rate of Durability loss also increases.
  • While the increased Critical and Balance do not appear on the character screen, it is still applied.
  • If Shock was boosted with the Elemental Wave skill, the Brionac also gains increased Splash Range.
    • The increased splash range from an Elemental Wave imbued Shock will persist past the boost's normal duration, lasting until the Brionac is unequipped.
  • The actual Shock skill itself will be absorbed when equipping Brionac, regardless of the remaining duration of Shock.
    • This means that the lightning produced by Shock won't be in effect if the Brionac is equipped while the player is under the effects of Shock.
• Shock's effect on Brionac lasts 3 minutes, while Awakening of Light's effect lasts for the entire duration.
  • The Shock's effect on the Brionac will disappear if the player unequips it from their main-hand in any way.
  • If the player removes the Brionac from their main-hand while under the effects of Awakening of Light, they can re-Awaken the Brionac by re-equipping the weapon.

Protection Reduction

• When Awakened, either through Shock or Awakening of Light, each attack of Brionac reduces enemies' Protection by 3 permanently. Each attack can stack and can effectively reduce a monster's Protection to 0 if used enough times.
  • This only applies to Protection because Magic Protection was introduced after the Brionac. See Seal: Pragarah for a similar ability that can reduce Magic Protection.
  • For example, the Black Dragon has 120 Protection. Each hit from Brionac reduces 3 Protection, so it will take 40 hits from an Awakened Brionac to reduce its Protection to 0.
  • With the exception of Raid Bosses, monsters that are in field maps are immune to protection reduction.
  • Bosses from Tech Duinn Missions, Veteran Dungeons, Crom Bás, and Kerune have a limit to the amount of Protection that can be removed by Brionac.
    • The limit is a percentage of the monsters' original Protection, e.g. if the boss has 180 Protection and a limit of 20%, only 36 Protection can be removed by Brionac.
    • For most Tech Duinn Bosses and Kerune, this limit is 20%.
    • For Veteran Dungeon Bosses, this limit is 25%.
    • For Subject Theta, this limit is 10%.
    • A message will appear on screen if the player tries to attack with an Awakened Brionac after the limit has been reached, saying "The enemy's Protection isn't cracking, even with Brionac's strength."
  • The Awakened Brionac is ineffective against Apostle Raids, players, pets, and Field Monsters (not Field Bosses).
  • This effect is sometimes referred to as peel, cut, or brio by the community.

Interface

• Certain features are only accessible when the Brionac is Awakened through casting Shock on the Brionac user or by using Awakening of Light with the Brionac equipped.
  • The interface will appear in the lower left hand corner of the screen.
  • If the player's Brionac is at 0 Durability, the interface will not appear.
  • The player must have hit "Complete" on the Uroboros quest in order to view the Brionac's interface.
• There are 4 buttons on the interface: Spear of God, Skill Training, Restoration, and Falias Warp.

Spear of God

• When the player is using Brionac and is under the effects of Awakening of Light, a special version of Spear of Light called "Spear of God" can be used, dealing approximately 7 times more damage than Spear of Light. However, this will use additional durability.
  • This effect is increased further when Brionac is under the influence of Shock.
  • This effect only occurs when the player chooses to use Spear of Light via the Brionac interface.
• This is only available if the player is under the effects of Awakening of Light and has their powers aligned with Neamhain.
  • This cannot be used if the player is only under the effect of Shock (and not Awakening of Light) and/or has their power aligned with Morrighan.

Skill Training

• While the Brionac is awakened through Shock or Awakening of Light, the player can sacrifice some of Brionac's Durability to automatically train a skill once every 12 hours in real time.
  • This is performed by clicking the second icon on the Brionac's interface, then by selecting which skill and requirement the player wishes to train.
  • The skill cannot be Rank 1, 1 Dan, 2 Dan, or 3 Dan.
  • The player will be prompted to choose a skill to train.
    • Skills which are eligible will be flashing.
  • Upon choosing a skill, the player must choose a Training Method for that skill.
    • The Proficiency bar will show the amount of Experience increase when training the selected Training Method.
    • A message will appear, confirming the player's decision and informing them about the amount of Durability that the Brionac will lose.
    • The player will receive 10% of the total counts of training for the Training Method they chose, or a number equivalent to 10 Skill Proficiency Points, whichever is lower.
• The player must have already trained at least 30% of the particular Training Method themselves.
• Skill requirements that must be fulfilled less than 10 times total may not be trained.
  • Transformation Skills and Book/Quest-based Skill requirements cannot be trained.
• Most skills reduce 0.25 Durability when trained in this manner. The table below shows some known exceptions.

Skill	Cost
Alchemy Mastery	0.5
Enchant	2.0
Weaving	0.75
Refining	0.75
Potion Making	0.75
Carpentry	4.0
Blacksmithing	6.0
Tailoring	2.0

Restoring/Repairing Brionac

• The player may repair Brionac on their own while under the effects of either Shock or Awakening of Light. It costs 4 AP to repair a single point at a 100% success rate.
  • Alternatively, the Brionac can be repaired by Dorren in Tailteann at the same cost of 4 AP per point at a 100% success rate. Dorren is the only NPC capable of repairing Brionac.
  • This is performed by selecting the third icon on the Brionac interface, then choosing how many points of Durability to restore.
  • If the player's Brionac is at 0 Durability, the Brionac's interface won't appear even if they're currently under the effects of Shock or Awakening of Light, meaning that they will be unable to repair using the Brionac's interface.
    • The Brionac then must be repaired at Dorren in order for it to be used again.

Falias Warp/Creating a Portal to Falias

• When using Shock or Awakening of Light, the player may create the Portal of Falias after completing Generation 12.
  • This is performed by clicking the fourth icon on the Brionac interface.
    • If the player has not yet finished Generation 12, the Falias Warp button will not appear.
  • This will consume 1 Falias Fragment. If the player has no Falias Fragments in their inventory, this ability will not do anything.

Trivia

• Brionac (pronounced /briʌnax/) likely translates into dreamy or forgery. Brionn/Brinn refers to falsehoods, visions, and dreams while ach transforms existing nouns or adjectives into words meaning belonging to or having.
  • The name Brionac for Lugh's Spear appears to have been a Japanese invention from the 1990s.
• Brionac is the name of the weapon that Lugh Lavada used to fight the Fomorians in the Second Battle of Mag Tuireadh.
  • However, Briana doubts his Brionac has any relation to this Brionac.
  • If the player speaks to Nele with the Lugh, the Knight of Light Keyword, he will say that the Brionac is capable of piercing through anything and everything. Also, he states that his Brionac is a spear.
• Aer says the blade is also known as the "Light of the Dark Sun".
• The Falias Gatekeeper says Falias was named "Brionac" in the beginning of time.
• In every cutscene in which the Brionac is held (aside from the player equipped with it before engaging the cutscene), the wielder will treat the weapon as a One-Handed Sword although it is a Two-Handed Sword.
