Essentially this is just reskinning your sword with the Excalibur model.

Gosh, I can do that myself by manipulating .dat files lol.
While true, you could just manipulate your dats, it will also be a powerful weapon gameside, and you cannot replicate that. So all in all it is an actual item. It's basically akin to if you had to register and upgrade your relic/mythic for it to continue being a relic. Im speculating but i'm sure it will gain special stats or abilities with the title.
