Perhaps. But maybe that is because they could find a Shad Priest. An item does not need a ritual with a priest to actually have power. Katelyn has said that the weapons were blessed by respective priests of each '''god. '''This would include Shad, but she specifies that the priesty ritual thingy was not done for Shad. But she still says 'each god', so Shad is still included. I know that Garroth's, Laurance's, or Dante's are not blessed in Lady Irene, because Lady Irene is kind of Aphmau's thing (also, I don't think the words Dante and Lady Irene were ever even mentioned together). I do think his swords were blessed with Shad's power, but through a different way. Maybe an item that was sacred to Shad was put into the swords in their creation, like a gem, or an amulet? Maybe the blacksmith chanted prayers to Shad while forging the blades? Maybe Shad blessed them himself? Maybe Shad made the swords? Maybe they were the weapons he used when the DWs fought the Shadow Lord, and he passed them on to someone he favored? (some people think it was just Irene who stopped the monarchy because they love her so much, and she was the one they actually saw fighting for them. that's what I think) And that part about Shad embodying destruction? Perhaps he was a destroyer of evil, but was branded as a being of sensless desolation because of his (literal) darkness.
