The [Sword of Damocles](http://k-project.wikia.com/wiki/Sword_of_Damocles) is
the direct manifestation of the Kings' powers and their state as a King. If
they were to lose control of their powers due to personal emotions like
Mikoto's rage of Tatara's death, the swords start crumbling. This is due to
his Weismann levels raising as his compatibility as the Red King is falling. A
similar thing is happening to [Reisi
Munakata](http://k-project.wikia.com/wiki/Reisi_Munakata), where due to him
killing Mikoto, that burden of killing a king is causing his sword to start
crumbling as well.
