We know that Susan was incapable of picking up a Sword in DM.

Yes, and she was afraid when  Harry handed her the Sword of Love, it worked because she was there for the love of her child.

I put this in another thread but I wondered if the lightsaber would be able to cut the demon inside Thomas (doubtful) or Justine's baby (more probable). If that would be the case perhaps Thomas will answer the call. But I don't think this is going to happen now so perhaps Marcone will take the sword for one night, to fight the Titan. And I believe Harry will tell the three Knights to hold their swords together. The light will probably weaken the Titan enough to allow Harry to place her in the Pokeball.
Another option is that Merlin himself takes the sword, out of love for Mab.

I don't think Amoracchius is going to come into play at all in BG because Harry has it at Demonreach, but he doesn't retrieve it when he retrieve's the placard and "athame."

Correct, besides we don’t see Amorrachus attached to the end of Harry’s staff on the cover of Battle Ground

I don't think so either..  Now it may depend on how long Thomas stays out of the action.. It could be he stays where he is at until the BAT, then Harry frees him to take up the Sword.

While I don't think this will come into play in BG, Thomas can likely wield Amoracchius. He picked it up in GP. It didn't burn him.

True, though some would say the Sword allowed him to handle the it because he was rescuing it from custody by either Bianca or Mavra..

I'm pretty sure some have argued that he can't touch it at all because it's the Sword of Love.

That too, however after the crap hit the fan, the only one in the hall that thought to save the Sword was Thomas.  Not even Michael thought about that, he was too busy trying to save Harry.  As we have learned recently, apparently there is an angel residing in the Nail in the hilt of the Sword, it would know what Thomas was trying to do.

I may be wrong but I believe Thomas had it by the scabber, not touching the actual sword.

He brought it back in a rifle case to be precise.  Somebody had to put it in the case though..

Yes, but he could have grab it with something not with his bare hands.

We now know there is an angel powering the blade, which knows what it is doing, this why some Knights serve foe decades and some for days and how the faithsabre can cut an anvil, or a monster but not Sanya.

It would permit Thomas to touch the sword, but would have been inactive, it detects the intention of the wielder and of any person or monster against whom it is wielded.

Things like wedding rings are purely passive, they hurt Whamps nothing to be done and mortals can’t control the True Love effect on a Whamp, only withdraw their touch but an angel can, the sword is not a passive wedding ring, nor a control less mortal.

Wasn't the sword weakened to the point where Mavra could swing it around without harm when Thomas retrieved it?
