Not really. As a sword Ascalon isn't really useful. Ascalon's only special trait is the Dragon Slayer, many of you keep on claiming it isn't true, but that's the truth.


 * 1) Ascalon can't do long range destructive attacks like the Durandal on it's own, it has been use in tandem with Durandal but never on its own.
 * 2) It doesn't have multiple unique abilities like the Excalibur.
 * 3) Its sharpness pale in comparison to the likes of Collbrande/Caliburn.

Assuming even if Ascalon can do ranged attack like the Durandal.


 * 1) It wouldn't have its destructive level
 * 2) Ise won't be able to use it anyway.

Holy Sword has compatibility, unlike Xenovia and Arthur are natural-born Holy Sword users, Ise isn't a natural user, not only that, the Ascalon got modification to adapt to his Boosted Gear not Ise himself.

In short, Ise as an individual can't master the Ascalon, he can only use the sword through the Boosted Gear. So mastering the Ascalon as a sword is meaningless to Ise. Ise's main use for Ascalon is to transfer the Dragon Slayer aura to his Boosted Gear only.
