Also used a lot in fantasy computer games. ;-) (contributor: Amatuka)
P.S. Don't use 俺様 unless you happen to be a samurai from the past or
egotistical hero of a bad Anime. (contributor: Amatuka)
P.P.S. That's probably a horrible horrible example sentence ^^v

Incidently, is that 剣 read つるぎ ? (contributor: Amatuka)
剣 read つるぎ and けん。You can use both way in context.

Ah, I thought that might be the case - but I wasn't sure. (contributor:

単なる is probably a more common word. (contributor: SlyEcho)

These are both well-written. (contributor: Nick)
Thank you (^o^) I am quite good at Japanese. (contributor: Miki)
This shows up constantly in the (imitation?) archaic style that seems to be
preferred for writing spell incantations in the fantasy genre.
Taking a few examples from spell incantations in the Slayers anime...
ドラグ・スレイブ（竜破斬） (Dragon Slave):
...偉大[なる]汝の名において 我ここに 闇に誓わん...
...I hereby swear unto darkness by thy * great name...
リカバリイ（治療） (Recovery):
聖[なる]癒しの御手よ 母[なる]大地の息吹よ...
O holy * healing hand, O breath of Mother * Earth...
Looking at 母なる大地, it seems that なる can also be used with
nouns (like の in modern Japanese). (contributor: KWhazit)
