From a gameplay perspective, Swordians are weapons that primarily grant the ability to use magic (晶術 shoujutsu?). In the world of Tales of Destiny, magic is derived from the power of Lens, and the most potent energies are collected by the Lens Core Crystal embedded within the hilt of each Swordian. All of the Swordians have access to a specific element and motif, providing their wielders, known as Swordian Masters, with spells of those varieties.
