Sword implements have declined in popularity in recent times,<ref>'''The Sword''' is an aggressive choice, and a more common choice in older eras. - excerpt from [[List of Books#Implementum|Implementum]], quoted in [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/05 Bonus Material: Implementum Text]</ref> as has the Chalice (once usual for female Practitioners)<ref>'''The Chalice''' is a cup, ornate and decorated, once a common implement.  It can be a symbol or a limited means of taking action in a diagram, but more than anything, it is a repository for holding power and then partaking of or distributing that power.  Favored by practitioners dealing with the divine and the management of power. - excerpt from [[List of Books#Implementum|Implementum]], quoted in [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/05/6-3-spoilers-implementum-text/ Bonus Material: Implementum Text]</ref><ref>The use of the chalice wanes in almost perfect accordance with the rise of women’s rights and female independence.  Once a traditional and even expected implement for woman practitioners, the chalice is being replaced by things more personal, dropping from a fifty-nine percent usage in Europe to an eleven percent usage at the time of this text’s publication. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/02/06 Excerpt] from [[List of Books#Implementum|Implementum]], quoted in [[Interlude 2.x]]</ref> and the decorative Plate (now almost unheard-of.)<ref name=":13" />
