Armiger
//MF 11/18: is listed elsewhere as "Knightswords," but since these are all heirlooms of former rulers (and not all swords), I wonder if "Royal Arms" might be more appropriate in those situation.

Quake
Torrent
Holy

Strategy
//MF 11/19: Prefer "Gambit" or something a little snazzier, but I worry the FFXII crowd might disapprove. (so yeah "Gambit" was considered as the name of this discarded element)
looking at it im pretty sure those were techniques / skills planned for Duscae's battle system; most of them unused

Rain a hail of arrows down upon enemies' heads.
//Dancing Blade
Split sword and unleash a multi-blade combo after performing a warp-strike. (this one might have been converted to The Wanderer's sword warp-strike)

Conjure a sword to pursue an enemy after the initial attack. (this would have been totally useful, especially for flying enemies, sabertusks or mesmerizers which are fast asf)
//Utsusemi
Throw a shuriken, then press the attack button again to warp to the target.
//Earth Shaker
Launch weapon at an enemy, then unleash a slow yet powerful warp-strike. (going by the description it reads like The Conqueror's warp-strike)
