The Witchblade is a conscious, intelligent, and ancient weapon with supernatural origins. It is one of 13 mystical artifacts, of which twelve have been revealed: the Witchblade, the Angelus, the Darkness, the Ember Stone, the Glacier Stone, the Rapture, the Blood Sword, the Spear of Destiny, the Coin of Solomon, the Heart Stone, Pandora's Box, and the Wheel of Shadows. It is the offspring of the universe's two opposing aspects, the Darkness and the Angelus (Light). The Witchblade is a male aspect created to act as a balance, which must have a female as a host, but has not spoken aloud as of yet.
