I think I have an idea of what Nothung is capable of.

The story stated that Nothung can "rip through space-time."

We have actually seen another weapon that can do this... Arthur's Caliburn. During his brief fight with Vasco in vol.19, he stood several meters away, but used Caliburn to "pierce space-time" to make the tip of the blade reach Vasco (he dodged it though).

I think Nothung can do the same thing.


 * Attack from any distance by "piercing through" space-time.


 * By-pass barriers and/or other defensive items/abilities by "slashing/cutting" space-time.

Basically Nothung makes the user able to attack the enemy regardless of distance and/or defenses by "piercing/slashing/cutting" through space-time.
