A fellow wizard of Damocles', Mathias Poe, used his own magic to turn the Sword of Acorns into a replica of Damocles that he used to amplify his magical power. The replica served him briefly by allowing him to create a golem to attack Knuckles, but the timely efforts of Archimedes allowed the Echidna to defeat the raven and reveal the replica's true form. Sir Connery would later state he had slain Damocles.
