Weapons: The Spear of Destiny: In legend, the Spear of Destiny had two names. Once called Spear of Longinus, it was used to pierce Christ's side on the cross, now covered with blood, making it a holy relic; it was used by maidens of special pedigree in battle. It could make the world into wasteland or heal it. Spear of Lugh has a different legend though; Lugh of the Long Hand was gifted with a powerful spear. It's head was tipped in blood, and blood sought blood, once thrown it never missed its mark. It blazed with golden light and when not in use it had to be cooled in cauldron of blood. When it's power would be used wisely, it is the light that drives away the darkness.
The Spear of Destiny is a holy weapon of Magdalena's. It was in the hands of Benedetta Maria Ferro, who transported treasure for Vatican. Miguel Estacado sank her ship and stole the Spear of Destiny.

But that doesn't seem to slow her down much
History: The current wielder, and so far the one with the most independent spirit. Patience was raised in a convent and eventually ran away just as Kristoff, a captain and designed Shepperd of the Magdalene by the Knights of Malta, was sent to retrieve her. Along with a runaway named Rowan, Patience discovered New York, and learned that she had lived a very secluded life, with very little knowledge of the outside world.
Once she was discovered, Patience revealed her skills when she squared off against Kristoff. Their bout ended in a draw, and Patience agreed to hear him out. After taking her to a cathedral, he explained the destiny of the Magdalena. Although when Patience left, she found that Rowan had been kidnapped. While hesitant, Patience accepted to embrace her destiny in order to save her friend. She traveled with Kristoff to the island of Malta, where she was presented with the shattered remains of the Spear of Destiny. Patience then proved her worth by regenerating the Spear anew using a drop of her blood and powers that blind all those observing the phenomenon. This more than suggested that the Magdalena's power does not come from the Spear, but rather from the Magdalena herself. The Spear of Destiny remained a perfect conduit, and we later learn that as it is considered the Spear of Longinus from christian tradition, it also shared the myth of being the same Spear of Lugh from Celtic tradition.
Mathias, overseer of the island of Malta, explained to Patience that a new pagan order called the Bright Hand wanted to claim the Spear as part of their Celtic tradition. Mathias instructed the Knights of Malta to capture them, although it was later discovered that Mathias was actually a traitor and was working for the Bright Hand all along.
Patience, Kristoff and the Knights of Malta traveled to Prague to stop a ritual that involved Rowan herself as a sacrifice. Patience reached Rowan as the battle raged around them. When a portal was created by the leader of the Bright Hand Rowan urged Patience to throw the Spear into it. This ended up being a trick, as the portal allowed Chernobog, a creature from another plane and a bringer of destruction, to cross into our world. Rowan was then revealed to be the daughter of the leader of the Bright Hand and was used to deceive the Magdalena as part of the plan to use the Spear in order to summon Chernobog.
Patience then cut her hands to call upon the power of her lineage. As she levitated above the battle and crossed the portal into the other plane, she found the myths of the Spear of Longinus, the Spear of Lugh and the legacy of the Magdalena together. As she was about to retrieve the Spear a snake spoke to her and revealed how tainted the truth has become, although Patience's faith actually grows stronger with the truth. With a mighty heave, Patience freed the Spear and beheaded the snake. Once she returned back to reality through the portal, she throws the Spear at Chernobog, resulting in his destruction. Her victory is praised by the fathers of the Church, but Patience knows there is more truth out there than the Church cares to admit or even reveal.
Patience is later sent by the church to kill Lara Croft who is searching for the Rapture on behalf of Sara Pezzini. The previous host, Tom Judge, was found murdered and Sara needs Lara's help to figure out what the item is. As the church knows very well what the Rapture is capable of they need anyone who is searching for it removed. Unaware of Lara's intentions, Patience attacks her and only Lara's incredible skills keep her from being killed by the descendant of Mary Magdalena.
During their next encounter Lara is able to convince Patience that she is not looking to use the artifact, she is searching on behalf of a friend and that she has no intentions of using it. Patience saves Lara from being killed by one of her handlers and is in turn branded as a rogue. The church send other units to eliminate both Lara & Patience but the duo are able to stop them and to keep the Rapture from falling into the wrong hands.
Patience is later seen several times in the company of Sara Pezzini, The Witchblade bearer, and also encounters Jackie Estacado who is being hunted by the Angelus. The Angelus mistakes patience for her predecessor and attacks the duo. When the Angelus' host is killed by Appolonia Franchetti, the Angelus force possesses Patience but is driven out. Patience fights and is forced to kill a member of the Angelus' Cast before the birth of Sara's child. She helps The Darkness protect Sara while she is giving birth to Hope Pezzini. Afterwards she encounters another Angelus Cast and is forced to kill it as well. Patience is considered a liability to the Catholic Church and she is unaware that they are plotting to kill her and replace her with another of the Magdalena line.

Patience made her way down the street usually she suck to the shadows to avoid drawing attention to herself but it was the only way for her to find the demon that she had been trying to kill for the last few hours. She had something it wanted so it should show its self sooner or later. She stopped walking then rolled to her right avoiding being sliced in two by a blade. Getting back onto her feet she blocked another attack with the Spear of Destiny which now had turned a gold color and was glowing.
Lucky for her as soon as the she demon had shown herself everyone had ran off for cover so she didn’t have to worry about saving anyone while trying to take this thing down. Well almost everyone was gone she hadn’t noticed the strangely dressed man.
Patience pushed the demon away from her giving herself some room then ducked down to avoid getting her head taken off by its tail. As she came up she stabbed the she demon in the stomach driving the spear as deep as she could.
She pulled the spear out going to strike again only the demon moved out of the way and smacked her away with its tail. The rogue nun landed hard on her back at lest 50 feet away from where she was. The demon was about to go after the woman but noticed that there was someone else there now. Leaving the woman for the moment the female demon went after a man. She went to swipe at his head trying to take it off in one blow.
Slowly Patience got back to her feet picking up the spear once again. She had to do something to get the demon away from the guy so he could get away. She reached into a hip pouch and pulled out what looked like a very odd looking egg. She leaned the spear on a near by car so she could pull out one of her short swords. She stabbed the egg the demon spun around and charged at her. Well that worked. she dropped the egg and grabbed the spear again just as she was tackled as soon as she hit the ground she flipped the demon over then jumping back to her feet.
