It generally refers to a sword that is imbued with magical properties, granting it immense power, durability, or the ability to never dull or break.

In stories, a püsivärja might be wielded by legendary heroes, mythical kings, or even supernatural beings. Its presence signifies great destiny, insurmountable strength, or a crucial element in a heroic quest. The sword itself is often depicted as being forged in magical fires, blessed by ancient gods, or passed down through generations of champions.

The idea of a püsivärja taps into universal themes of eternal power and legendary weaponry found in various cultures. It serves as a symbol of enduring strength and the ultimate tool for overcoming great evils or achieving impossible feats within the narrative context of Estonian tales. The specific attributes and origins of a püsivärja can vary greatly depending on the story in which it is featured.
