*''Literature/TheSecretOfExcalibur'' has Excalibur being accidentally made out of a superconductor capable of channeling earth energy from ley lines. The protagonists are looking for it in the modern age because it can be used as part of a superweapon. Caliburn also exists; Caliburn was the prototype of the sword, but it didn't work properly, and Excalibur was a refined version created after Caliburn was broken into three sections.
