Filmation Cartoon
In the cartoon He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the Power Sword is given to Prince Adam by the Sorceress of Grayskull as the key to transforming into He-Man, "the Most Powerful Man in the Universe," and transforming his cowardly pet tiger, Cringer, into the fierce and brave Battle Cat. The war-cry with which Prince Adam thus transforms while holding the Power Sword above his head with his right hand begins, "By the Power of Grayskull...." whereupon mystical lightning strikes the Power Sword and transforms him; He-Man then seizes the tip of the Power Sword's blade and completes the war-cry, "...I HAVE THE POWER!"
Princess Adora/She-Ra, He-Man's twin sister, has a companion Power Sword, called the Sword of Protection, which is identical except that it has a glowing jewel in the hilt. She transforms into She-Ra by saying, "For the honor of Grayskull...I am She-Ra!"
