The Sword of Protection is also known to be able to project beams of energy from the stone found in its center. The same stone is used to turn Spirit into Swift Wind as the power beam needed to perform such a transformation comes from it. One of the essential pieces of this costume will be the sword you carry as an accessory.

About She-Ra

Though she faces many situations where fighting is needed, she descends to this as a last resort. She-Ra is largely a non-violent person and would rather use her intelligence and wits to defeat her enemies. Her most violent action is a body throw. This personality traight wass also a function of the broadcast standards at the time the original She-Ra: Princess of Power was produced. In 1985, neither He-Man nor She-Ra were allowed to use their swords offensively. They could only use their swords as a means of defending themselves. The series was not allowed to show them directly punching or kicking anyone, either.

Another interesting fact is that if you watch the original She-Ra series released in 1985, you may notice that her primary enemies were robotic. Broadcast standards also disallowed them to show She-Ra destroying human enemies. The same observation could be said of the show He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
