Sul-sagana: The Horizon of Dawn that Purifies the Seas (万海灼き祓う暁の水平, Mankai Yakiharau Akatsuki no Suihei?) is a large, jagged Divine Construct sword contained in the Gate of Babylon. Like its paired sword Ig-Alima, Sul-sagana was possessed by the war god ZababaWP, named after his children.[1] There is a possibility that Gilgamesh named the swords after those of legend, such as with Ea,[1] so it is unknown if it is the genuine sword or simply crowned with the same name.[2]
Angelica Ainsworth bringing out Sul-sagana from the Gate of Babylon.
The sword possesses the concept of "horizon" at the end of the sky and sea, the peak of "the territory in which they melt and mix." Granted the alias Cleaving Ocean Sword (斬海剣?), it is that which "burns down even a myriad of seas." It is a sword blade of pure fire, "molded as a peak resembling a cluster of lava."[2] It acts as a "furnace that melts down everything" when the "direction of the dawn" is granted to it. Flames of purging that burn down and make all into one continually spring up from it. It is said that "Before the bright-colored brandishing of the sword, right and wrong, whatever was the enemy ― They are equally molten inside the daybreak."[2]
As a Divine Construct, it shouldn't be possible to replicate the sword with the Gradation Air of Unlimited Blade Works, but the power of the Holy Grail makes it possible for Shirou Emiya to superficially project the paired Divine Constructs and counter them.[3] The reproduction is named Sul-sagana: The Horizon of Dawn that Purifies the Seas - Fake (虚・万海灼き祓う暁の水平?).[4]

Green Field Cutting Through the Thousand Mountains.
One of the twin swords possessed by the war god that appears in Mesopotamian mythology, Zababa… It is said to be so, but it is not sure if this is “the real thing,” or just “a different thing” that Gilgamesh calls that. Ig-Alima and Sul-sagana are the names of the children of the god, and there is the possibility that Gilgamesh named it like that as a nickname, same as with the Sword of Rapture, Ea.
Alias: Cleaving Mountain Sword. A long and unrefined gigantic sword that can cut even through a thousand mountains.
It cuts not with a blade alone.
It breaks up not with mass alone.
This sword made by a god comprehends the concept of “skyline.”
That is the very same principle through which heaven and earth are absolutely separated, and as a result of the principle itself leaking out into the brandishing of the sword, this gigantic sword easily severs a thousand mountains.
Originally only an equal Divine Construct could confront it, to say nothing about how it is conversely impossible to break that sword blade.
That a magical girl could accomplish that once is astonishing, but — it stands to reason.
Because the star the girl wished upon shines preciously even in the crepuscule of despair that makes heaven and earth prominent, and overshadows the endless field with its light.千山斬り拓く翠の地平【宝具】
イガリマ。
メソポタミア神話に登場する戦神ザババが所有していた双剣の一つ……と言われているが、これが「そのもの」なのか、ギルガメッシュがそう呼んでいるだけの「別のもの」なのかは定かではない。イガリマ・シュルシャガナは神の子の名でもあるとされ、乖離剣エアなどと同じくギルガメッシュが渾名として名付けた可能性がある。
別名・斬山剣。千の山すらも斬り拓く、長大にして無骨なる巨剣。
刃のみにて斬るに非ず。
質量のみにて拓くに非ず。
この神が造りし剣は「地平線」の概念を内包している。
それは天と地が絶対的に分かたれているという理そのものであり、その理自体が剣閃に漏出した結果として、この巨剣は千の山を無造作に断つのである。
本来ならばこれを迎え撃てるのは同等の神造兵装のみであり、ましてやその剣身を逆に折り砕くことなど不可能。
かつて一人の魔法少女がそれを為したというのは、驚くべきことではあるが――――さもありなん。
少女の願いの星は、天地を際立たせる絶望の黄昏の中ですら尊く輝き、その光をもって果てのない地平を霞ませるのだから。 - ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2

Horizon of Dawn that Burns Down the Myriad of Seas.
A sword that the Mesopotamian war god Zababa has and that is paired with Ig-Alima… It’s the name with which it was crowned, but it can’t be ascertained if this is “the real thing” or what either. Alias: Cleaving Ocean Sword.
A Divine Construct that burns down even a myriad of seas, molded as a peak resembling a cluster of lava and a sword blade of pure fire. It possesses the concept of “horizon.”
That is at the end of the sea and the sky, the peak of “the territory in which they melt and mix.” If the direction of the dawn is given to it, that is namely a furnace that melts down everything. What springs up continually are the flames of purge that burn down and make everything one. Before the bright-colored brandishing of the sword, right and wrong, whatever was the enemy ―They are equally molten inside the daybreak.万海灼き祓う暁の水平【宝具】
シュルシャガナ。
メソポタミアの戦神ザババの持つ、イガリマと対になる剣……の名を冠されてはいるが、これも「そのもの」なのかどうかは定かではない。別名・斬海剣。
溶岩塊じみた峰と純然たる火の剣身で形作られた、万の海すら灼き祓う神造兵装。こちらは「水平線」の概念を有している。
それは空と海の果て、「溶け混じる領域」の極致。そこに暁の方向性が与えられたならば、それはすなわち何ものをも溶かし果てる炉を意味する。絶えず躍るは、全てを灼き祓い一つとする、浄化の炎。この赫色の剣閃の前では、正邪も、善悪も、空も海も、敵も、敵であったものも――――等しく、曙光の中に溶けていく。 - ↑

Reality Marble, Infinite Creation of Swords.
A different world from this one, the imagined world that a man whose Origin became “Sword” due to certain circumstances reached. It was High-Thaumaturgy that the Shirou from this world originally couldn’t reach, but it became usable for a limited time after being corroded by the Heroic Spirit of a Card.
That imagined landscape is a snowy field in the dark night. Without stars or roads, and only just the crescent moon faintly illuminates Shirou. The innumerable stuck swords give the impression of the mountain of corpses that that Heroic Spirit saw. It’s a space supplied with every sword from every time and place, and swords come flying to Shirou’s hands, or to the enemy, the instant he wishes for it. That is faster than Projection by far, and it even outdoes the speed at which swords are produced from The King’s Treasure.
That said, because it is helpless against swords that don’t exist within the Bounded Field, regarding Ig-Alima and Sul-sagana he could project them superficially right after seeing them, and somehow managed to do it by hitting them and averting their trajectory. This cheat style… So you have received the protection of the Holy Grail, haven’t you?
The instant Miyu flew to another world, the mana path was cut off, and he became unable to maintain the Reality Marble. As a result he lost the battle, but the wish of the big brother who wagered his life was granted. By the way, at this time Miyu’s world and Illya’s world changed places together with the space of the Great Cavern, but there is the trick of Shirou and Angelica not being affected since they were within the Reality Marble. I hate how complicated this is.無限の剣製【宝具/魔術】
固有結界、アンリミテッドブレイドワークス。
こことはまた違う世界、とある事情により起源が「剣」になってしまった男が至った心象世界。こちらの世界の士郎では本来到達できない大魔術であったが、カードの英霊に侵食されることで限定的に使用可能となった。
その心象風景は闇夜の雪原。星も道もなく、かろうじて上弦の月だけが士郎を儚げに照らす。無数に突き刺さった剣は、かの英霊が見たであろう死体の山を思わせる。古今東西のあらゆる剣が収められた空間であり、士郎が念じた瞬間剣は手元、あるいは敵に飛来する。それは投影よりも遥かに早く、王の財宝から剣を取り出す速度すらも凌駕する。
とはいえ、結界内に存在しない剣はどうしようもないため、イガリマとシュルシャガナに関しては目視した直後にハリボテ品を投影し、ぶつけて軌道をそらすことでなんとかやりすごした。このチートっぷり……さては貴様、聖杯の加護を受けているな？
美遊が別世界に飛んだ瞬間、魔力パスは途絶え、固有結界を維持することができなくなった。結果として戦闘には敗北したが、命を賭した兄の願いは叶えられたことになる。ちなみにこの時、大空洞周辺の空間ごと美遊世界とイリヤ世界が入れ替わったわけだが、固有結界内にいたため士郎とアンジェリカは影響を受けなかったというカラクリ。ややこしくてやーねー。 - ↑ Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Chapter 39: "Thank You and Farewell"
