The Magic Sword-Gun WizarSwordGun (魔法剣銃 ウィザーソードガン, Mahō Kenjū Wizāsōdogan) is Kamen Rider Wizard and eventually also the main world version of Kamen Rider Mage's main weapon. It is a magical weapon that can transform between its Gun Mode (ガンモード, Gan Mōdo) and Sword Mode (ソードモード, Sōdo Mōdo), and is armed with silver bullets, which is aversive to a Phantom. Different Styles also give different elemental attacks when using the WizarSwordGun. This weapon can be summoned via the Connect Wizard Ring. It first appears in Kamen Rider Fourze The Movie: Everyone! Let's Feel the Universe!, and then made its TV debut in episode 1.
Design[]
The WizarSwordGun is composed of the following parts:
- Grim Hilt (グリムヒルト, Gurimu Hiruto) - The hilt/grip. It boasts high strength and rigidity, allowing it to withstand magical attacks sent by wizards and other magical forces.
- Arch Talisman (アーチタリスマン, Āchi Tarisuman) - A magic-absorbing crystal embedded into the handle. Magical power absorbed by the Arch Talisman is sent to the Bullet Spring to be transformed into a magic bullet.
- Contract Trigger (コントラクトリガー, Kontorakutorigā) - The trigger. Pulling the trigger increases the magical power stored within the WizarSwordGun, accelerating, and launching bullets.
- Hand Author (ハンドオーサー, Hando Ōsā) - The 'hand' unit. By releasing unique vibrations, it can unleash the power of Wizard Rings. It is possible to strengthen the WizarSwordGun with attributes of a scanned elemental Wizard Ring (Flame, Water, Hurricane, or Land).
- Bullet Spring (バレットスプリング, Baretto Supuringu) - An internal mechanism. Magical energy sent from the Arch Talisman is converted into a magic bullet. After firing a magic bullet, more can be developed, allowing for rapid-fire without the need to reload.
- Excellent Crystal (エクセレントクリスタル, Ekuserento Kurisutaru) - A crystal located on the WizarSwordGun's barrel. It is a crystal with a complex structure that can amplify power by irregularly reflecting magical power. Magical power reflected by this is emitted as a light (seen during deathblows and finishing attacks). The reflected magical power strengthens the destructiveness of magic bullets and the Astral Razor.
- Hawk Scope (ホークスコープ, Hōku Sukōpu) - A scope located above the muzzle. It detects magic and corrects aim accordingly, allowing Wizard to hit the target even if there is little accuracy. Enables high speed shooting accuracy by predicting movement.
- Brighton Muzzle (ブライトンマズル, Buraiton Mazuru) - The muzzle. Unlike usual guns that utilise gunpowder to fire off bullets, the Brighton Muzzle utilises an extremely small reaction force, enabling more precise and powerful shots.
- Trigonal Stone (トリゴナルストーン, Torigonaru Sutōn) - A white crystal embedded on the blade. It is a repair device that fixes the Astral Razor via magical power stored within.
- Astral Razor (アストラルレザー, Asutoraru Rezā) - The sharp blade. Via Kamen Rider Wizard's magical power, the Astral Razor can cut Phantoms (a feat that cannot be accomplished by ordinary weapons).
Finishing attacks[]
To unleash a finisher, Wizard (and presumably Mage as well, though this has never been shown) lifts the "thumb" on the hand feature to make it open, then he scans his current Transformation Ring on the weapon's Hand Author to give it an elemental charge. After activating either a Shooting Strike or a Slash Strike, the WizarSwordGun will rhythmically chant the Style's respective chant three times, with the exception of Infinity Style, which instead chants the main chants for the main four normal Styles once each.
Wizard has nine different Shooting Strike (シューティングストライク, Shūtingu Sutoraiku) attacks for the WizarSwordGun's Gun Mode, each corresponding to a different Style.
- Flame: Executes the Flame Shooting (フレイムシューティン, Fureimu Shūtingu), where the WizarSwordGun shoots fireballs. It has two variations, a circle version for multiple targets and a straight version for single target.
- Water: Executes the Water Shooting (ウォーターシューティング, Uōtā Shūtingu), where the WizarSwordGun shoots a stream of water.
- Hurricane: Executes the Hurricane Shooting (ハリケーンシューティン, Harikēn Shūtingu), where the WizarSwordGun shoots a blast of air. (Traveller Records only)
- Land: Executes the Land Shooting (ランドシューティン, Rando Shūtingu), where the WizarSwordGun shoots sand and rocks. (Climax Heroes only)
- Flame Dragon: An upgraded version of the Flame Shooting, where a torrent of flame is launched that turns into a dragon head. (Ganbaride only)/a large fireball is shot. (Climax Heroes only)
- Water Dragon: An upgraded version of the Water Shooting.
- Hurricane Dragon: An upgraded version of the Hurricane Shooting.
- Land Dragon: An upgraded version of the Land Shooting.
- Infinity Style: Executes the Infinity Shooting (インフィニティシューティン, Infiniti Shūtingu).
Wizard has nine different Slash Strike (スラッシュストライク, Surasshu Sutoraiku) attacks for the WizarSwordGun's Sword Mode, each corresponding to a different Style.
- Flame: Executes the Flame Slash (フレイムスラッシュ, Fureimu Surasshu), where a flame wheel coats the blade of the WizarSwordGun for a supercharged slash. It has a cross slashing version used to attack Phoenix, but it failed.
- Water: Executes the Water Slash (ウォータースラッシュ, Uōtā Surasshu), where a water current coats the blade of the WizarSwordGun for a sword beam/supercharged slash attack.
- Hurricane: Executes the Hurricane Slash (ハリケーンスラッシュ, Harikēn Surasshu), where a focused hurricane coats the blade of the WizarSwordGun for a tornado to lift a Phantom in the air, then a sword beam to cleave through the target.
- Land: Executes the Land Slash (ランドスラッシュ, Rando Surasshu), where a focused dust devil with stones coats the blade of the WizarSwordGun for a land-traveling sword beam attack.
- Flame Dragon: An upgraded version of the Flame Slash, resembling a focused wildfire.
- Water Dragon: An upgraded version of the Water Slash, where a tidal wave coats the blade of the WizarSwordGun for a dragon-like sword beam attack. Combined with the Blizzard Wizard Ring, it can freeze the opponent permanently in a huge ice crystal.
- Hurricane Dragon: An upgraded version of the Hurricane Slash, but without the tornado to lift a target in the air, and close to the point of impact, it will turn into a dragon's head and bite the target.
- Land Dragon: An upgraded version of the Land Slash, where a focused dust devil with stones coats the blade of the WizarSwordGun for an underground-traveling sword beam attack. Close to the point of impact, it will turn into a dragon's head and bite the target.
- Four Dragons: All four Dragon Styles use their enhanced versions of the various elemental Slash attacks on the opponent in unison.
- Infinity Style: Executes the Infinity Slash (インフィニティスラッシュ, Infiniti Surasshu).

Legend Rider Weapon[]
Arms Weapon[]
The WizarSwordGun is the Arms Weapon wielded by either an Armored Rider or a Genesis Armored Rider when they transform into Wizard Arms.
- Kamen Rider Gaim assumes Wizard Arms in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle.
- Kamen Rider Fifteen assumes Wizard Arms in Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai.
- Kamen Riders Baron and Duke assume Wizard Arms in Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing.
Damashii[]
The WizarSwordGun is the Legend Rider Weapon granted upon assuming Wizard Damashii, which is used by Kamen Rider Ghost. [Wizard Chapter]
Ganbarider[]
The WizarSwordGun (Sword/Gun Mode) is also among the various Rider Weapons used by Ganbarider in Kamen Rider Battle: Ganbarizing.
Notes[]
- The WizarSwordGun is similar to the Final Fantasy XIII variant of the gunblade from the Final Fantasy series where the gunblade is able to transform into a sword or a gun at the discretion of the user.
- The WizarSwordGun, like the DenGasher, is a multiform weapon used by multiple Riders in the same series. However, unlike the various incarnations of the DenGasher, which are given unique names for each user and disassembles and reassembles for each form, the WizarSwordGun simply has a flip out blade and, besides a red outline on the hand for the Mage version, is identical among all its users.
- The Flame Shooting is similar to that of Kamen Rider Garren's Burning Shot attack.
- The Hurricane Slash is similar to that of Kamen Rider Faiz's Sparkle Cut attack.
