I knew he took something from Hephaestus but I didn't know what he did with it, so I assumed he integrated it into himself. Ok.

The impression I got was that the weapon already exists and the Foreign God was sending Muramasa there to take care of it. Else it'd be a self fulfilling prophecy. Certainly not the first one for sure, but given this is Beast VII we're talking about, it'd be pretty stupid if they end up enabling a self fulfilling prophecy like that. Be just as bad as the theory that Goetia was trying to save us from the FG but since the FG is only able to manifest after Goetia is defeated, him starting his plan (which was intended to save us) is the thing that makes the FG lock onto that timeline to begin with.
On the other hand though, we might be able to take a step back further before Excalibur's creation to when the timeline diverged if what you're saying is correct. It'd suggest then that the six fairy leaders didn't sacrifice(?) themselves in this timeline putting the blame back on them.
My bet's on Erosion being the weapon in question since Nasu's blog seemed to confirm Morgan did still have her magic dagger.
Erosion’s a very safe bet, given that it could probably exorcise the FG from Olga’s body
I was also expecting us getting Erosion to separate Olga from the Alien God before LB6 started, but since it hasn't come up even once so far I don't think it'll happen. The closest thing was Nasu saying "Yeah Morgan used a dagger to kill Woodwose" on his blog but that wasn't even something shown in the game itself.
tbh im glad erosion memes are dead
I'm still expecting the exorcism to happen with a Muramasa katana. His introduction in Shimousa is him making the katana Musashi uses to cut karma and calling it a failure because it's a sword that can cut karma in the hands of a swordmaster, and his real goal is to create a swordcan cut karma with. Morgan is not enough of a main character in comparison to Muramasa and Erosion is not nearly as designed to give the nobody protagonist something to do in the climax.Fujimaru Ritsukaany average joe who never touched a blade before
We can go deeper: what if the dagger will unbind Muramasa from Alien God and\or awake Shirou's consciousness

There was a theory going around a while ago that Gil's gold dagger he gave to Fujimaru to use on Tiamat in the Babylonia anime was Erosion, and was meant to be foreshadowing for it having a future role in the game.
But yeah since it isn't anywhere in LB6 so far I don't think so anymore.
Pity we never got the stage of running along Tiamat's body to stab her with King Hassan solo. That reminds me though how Tiamat's mats say she was modelled on Dark Sakura, thus stabbing with a knife there is symbolic.
But if the magic knife she used on wolf guy ain't Erosion that'd mean she has two magic knives. Certainly not impossible, but that's just asking for them to be muddled up.
Would it do that though I wonder? Douman didn't really seem bound, especially given he could betray the FG. And I get the feeling that, just OG Artoria, they don't really want to have anymore of OG Shirou in the main story.
Eh, don't know. Nasu brought back Kirei, so go figure.
If Nasu can keep Artoria Original out of FGO, he sure as hell can keep Shirou out.
Sure thing he can. But will he?
Well, if they are the original masters Who fought in the grail war marisbully won raised through Olga/alien god's power, that'd be a different story.
I would like that in the case of kirei if everything concludes with some heaven's feel route paralelism, but not really with muramasa. His aspect of shirou, if any, is anecdotical. Kirei, on the other Hand, has some lines about rasputin going along with the Will of that body or something like that (if I remembered wrong feel free to correct me), so...
Well, we know 2 of the Apostles still had the original personality intact, just buried. I see no reason why Muramasa should be different.
