I wonder if she is able to use NP with caliburn.. Because if you look carefully at when she uses it, it doesn't seem like the sword is causing dmg but the mana and the magic around the sword that seems to shoot out...
But of course with Shirou's determination seen in episode 16 when he says he will make the sword just like it, Just maybe he may accomplish it? Haha ^^ |

The reason we see Knight on drawings, etc. ... wielding only one sword is that around the 13th century longswords became like the state of the art and were used two-handed. Now using it with one hand was first stupid since you lost all it's advances (like the attack power, etc. ...) and second almosst impossible since they were damn heavy (everyone who ever saw some of them in a museum knows what I mean here). I don't see why she could not use two swords at once, this is an anime. The swords have no real weight there and we all know that style counts more than realism. Spoiler:

Thanks for all this info.
Although I'm French, I didn't know about this book. But it's true there are a lot of codes for that. The thing is, as you said, wielding a two-handed sword with one hand is extremely difficult. First, you gotta be extremely strong. I've tried to wield and swing a real two-handed sword (a friend of mine has one from the Middle Ages...) and I can assure you that you have to brush up your skills before being really able to do such a thing. Second, two-handed swords were not that used. Sure, they had their meanings during some wars but it was impossible to wield them while riding... The heavy cavalry always used a lance while charging, one-handed swords in other situations. And two-handed swords when unmounted (though that it's not so sure, since they also wielded a shield, which would mean that they kept on using a one-handed sword). For instance, people used to ride their horse on the left of the road because people were usually right-handed... thus, could fight properly during a nasty encounter. The British have kept this system but Napoleon imposed a drive on the right system in Europe. (As Napoleon always failed to conquer Britain, they kept this system). I don't know why I'm talking about this... Sorry for playing the smartass as well |

Two handed swords are usually not for fights, but rather, to cut through heavy armors and shields. For users of these swords, their skill is not rated at how they wield the swords, but how many swings they can do within a limited time. Because of the power of the sword itself packs, there's no need for skill. Shield or armor, it just cuts through...all the swordsman needed to do is chop, move on to the next target, chop, and so on...(scary...)
